The value automation brings to business is compelling: ensuring better accuracy, improved compliance, significant cost savings, scalability, together with increased speed and productivity. The potential benefits and ROI mean that often the push from many COOs to get software robots live as soon as possible, sometimes even before it has been assured that they are ‘doing the right thing’, exposes the business to a level of risk.
What is also prevalent is the frequent IT change that agile delivery and ‘evergreening’ approaches impose on applications. These changes impact the applications and integrations that robots rely on for data, stopping the automation working, either completely or partially. Consequently, CIOs/CTOs need to treat RPA like any other business application, managing their development and maintenance lifecycle, by implementing SDLC governance. Automated CI/CD and regression testing of robots should be central to this governance model. With this proactive, expedient diagnosis, as to why an automation will or has stopped working correctly, becomes straightforward. Therefore, ensuring the automation is working or errors are resolved with minimal downtime.
