AUTOMATING PROCESSES IN WEB-INTERFACES WITH ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION

摘要

The primary goal of this thesis was to explore the automation of processes in web-based systems with Robotic Process Automation, a relatively new technology for the automation of repetitive and rules-based business processes. With the wide adoption of web-based systems and the recent surge of Robotic Process Automation in process automation, the combination of the two is a topical and an interesting subject to study.\n\nThis thesis comprises of two parts. The first focuses on the theory of Robotic Process Automation and the available solutions in general, as well as through the lens of web-applications. The second part defines use cases for Robotic Process Automation in two different web-applications and goes through the implementation as well as testing phases for the automation of these processes.\n\nThis thesis gives the reader a general idea of what Robotic Process Automation is, what it can be used for, and what it looks like in practice when applied to web-based processes.
