More than 2 million developers use UiPath
AI-powered automation to fuel businesses
UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a leading enterprise automation software
company, today announced at the UiPath DevCon 2024 event a host of
new features in its platform designed to enable developers to
build, test, and accelerate implementation of automations.
UiPath DevCon gathers hundreds of AI and automation developers,
architects, engineers, testers, and product managers for a deep
dive into innovation and collaboration possibilities for automation
creators within the UiPath Business Automation Platform.
“Developers remain at the center of our innovation efforts. Our
quest to reimagine DevOps for automation developers with AI led us
to the creation of UiPath Autopilot,” said Munil Shah, Chief
Technology Officer, UiPath Automation Cloud. “We are infusing
Generative AI across all our products. We believe when AI is
combined with automation, magic happens. It’s like combining an
intelligent brain with a highly capable body to carry out powerful
tasks.”
“With the UiPath developer community in excess of 2 million, and
developers and learners across 43 countries, the innovations we
provide this community are absolutely essential in the AI and
automation era,” said Daniel Dines, UiPath Co-founder and Chief
Innovation Officer. “To build modern automations, it is not only
about driving the UI. Developers also need API integrations, data,
and AI solutions. We are making it possible for developers to
access all these constructs in one integrated platform.”
At UiPath DevCon, UiPath announced:
UiPath Autopilot for Test Suite: now in public preview,
Autopilot for Test Suite provides a collection of advanced AI
capabilities designed to boost the productivity of testers
throughout the entire testing lifecycle. Autopilot for Test Suite
includes:
- AI-Powered Quality Checks: acts as an expert reviewer at
a tester’s fingertips analyzing requirements, from popular
lifecycle tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps or documents such as a
PDD, process design document.
- AI-Powered Test Design: generates manual tests with
step-by-step instructions from developers’ requirements and
supporting docs, such as workflows or design documents.
- AI-Powered Test Automation: converts any text, including
manual test steps, into automated tests in UiPath Studio Desktop
with little effort; and
- AI-Powered Test Insights: provides real-time, actionable
insights into the test case portfolio, empowering rapid issue
resolution and continuous improvement almost instantaneously.
“As organizations increasingly adopt GenAI and code assistants
to create code more quickly, it is imperative to incorporate
effective, continuous testing to help ensure code quality,” said
Melinda Ballou, Research Director for IDC’s Agile ALM, Quality and
Portfolio Strategies service. “IDC research also shows the benefits
of AI and GenAI for software quality efficiencies to support high
velocity software deployment, along with appropriate guardrails and
governance. UiPath’s public preview of Autopilot for Test Suite
enables users the opportunity to explore and expand existing
adoption with these additional capabilities.”
UiPath Automation Marketplace and Solution Accelerators:
To execute on an automation idea, developers can jumpstart the
journey by searching the thousands of building blocks and templates
in the Automation Marketplace. UiPath has made key investments in
its Solution Accelerators, a pre-built automation framework
designed to help developers implement faster and expedite
time-to-value. Solution Accelerators are high impact use cases
defined by industry experts and customers built using UiPath best
practices. A typical accelerator contains workflows, models,
process template, custom connector, and documentation – everything
developers need to get started.
Generative AI Connectors: UiPath continues to support
customers’ automation projects by expanding its collection of
Generative AI connectors. These connectors accelerate infusing the
power of Gen AI into automations. Using Gen AI connectors,
developers can easily access curated AI activities designed to
weave AI into every use case transaction, and interaction, such as:
generating text content and summarization for sales, marketing,
social media, and customer support; classifying images into
thousands of categories; and using translation and transliteration
to support global workforces. Each UiPath connector enables
developers to leverage one or multiple of the of industry-leading
LLM providers—including OpenAI, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock,
Google Vertex, Anthropic, and others.
Improved developer capabilities for Integration Service:
Developers are further supported by new enhancements for Connector
Builder, making it easier to create customized API integrations. A
new Activity Designer enables developers to visually design their
own activities, while taking advantage of improved support for
events—all through a low code UX.
