September 4, 2025

UiPath Test Manager is a powerful tool for managing and automating the testing lifecycle of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and software projects. Here’s a concise overview of why you should consider using UiPath Test Manager for your next project, tailored to its key benefits and features:

Why Use UiPath Test Manager?

  1. Seamless Integration with UiPath Ecosystem:
    • Integrates natively with UiPath Studio and Orchestrator, enabling streamlined test creation, execution, and management within the UiPath platform.
    • Supports synchronisation of test cases and results between Studio, Orchestrator, and Test Manager, ensuring a cohesive automation workflow.
  2. Comprehensive Test Management:
    • Centralises test planning, execution, and reporting, allowing teams to manage test cases, test sets, requirements, and defects in one platform.
    • Supports both manual and automated testing, with the ability to create, assign, and execute test cases efficiently.
  3. Enhanced Automation Capabilities:
    • Leverages UiPath’s automation expertise to automate repetitive testing tasks, reducing manual effort and improving test coverage.
    • Supports random data generation for test cases, ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR while maintaining thorough testing.
    • Enables reuse of RPA code and shared object repositories, minimising rework and ensuring consistency across tests.
  4. Integration with Third-Party Tools:
    • Connects seamlessly with Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, and SAP Solution Manager via Test Manager Connect and Planview Hub, enhancing collaboration and traceability.
    • Synchronises artefacts (e.g., requirements, defects) bidirectionally with external tools, ensuring real-time updates and visibility.
  5. AI-Powered Insights:
    • Utilises AI-driven features, such as AutopilotTM, to assess requirements for clarity and completeness, and automatically generate test cases from requirements or documents.
    • Provides actionable insights through autogenerated reports, heatmaps, and real-time monitoring of test stability, coverage, and performance.
  6. Scalability and Flexibility:
    • Scales to support projects of all sizes, from small teams to large enterprises, with customisable workflows and role-based access controls
    • Supports both cloud and on-premises deployments, adapting to your infrastructure needs.
  7. Improved Efficiency and Accuracy:
    • Automates test execution and scheduling via Orchestrator, enabling continuous testing in CI/CD pipelines and reducing feedback loops.
    • Minimises human error through automated test scripts and detailed logging for rapid defect identification and resolution.
  8. Task Capture for Simplified Documentation:
    • Integrates with UiPath Task Capture to automatically document test cases by capturing process steps, screenshots, and data, reducing manual effort and producing Process Definition Documents (PDDs).
  9. Cost and Time Savings:
    • Accelerates testing cycles by automating repetitive tasks and reusing existing RPA assets, lowering overhead costs.
    • Facilitates migration of test assets from legacy tools, boosting efficiency without starting from scratch.
  10. Robust Analytics and Reporting:
    • Offers detailed analytics and real-time reporting to track test results, identify issues quickly, and ensure high-quality software releases.
    • Provides dashboards for visualising test progress and quality metrics, aiding data-driven decisions.

When to Use UiPath Test Manager

  • RPA Projects: Ideal for teams already using UiPath for RPA, as it leverages existing automation skills for testing.
  • Mixed Testing Needs: Supports both manual and automated testing, making it suitable for organisations transitioning from manual to automated testing.
  • Complex Integrations: Perfect for projects requiring integration with ALM tools or CI/CD pipelines.
  • High-Quality Standards: Ensures rigorous validation of automation workflows and software applications, critical for industries with strict compliance needs.

Practical Example

For a project developing an RPA workflow to automate invoice processing, UiPath Test Manager can:

  • Use Task Capture to document the process and generate test cases.
  • Create and link test cases in Studio, execute them via Orchestrator, and track results in Test Manager.
  • Integrate with Jira to sync defects and requirements, ensuring traceability and rapid issue resolution.
  • Generate AI-powered reports to monitor test coverage and prioritise critical test cases.

Getting Started

  • Setup: Install UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, and Test Manager, then configure connections to test environments and repositories.
  • Licensing: Requires a Test Manager platform license and Tester – Named User licenses for users.
  • Next Steps: Create a project, define requirements, build test cases, and integrate with your ALM tools. Use the UiPath Documentation Portal for detailed guides.
