Introduction
5
Before the Documentation
• Best Practice Agreement
• Coding standards
• Versioning (documentation and development)
• Development effort estimation
6
As-Is
• Business aspects of
the process
• Current workflow
• Expected Input and
output
To-Be
• High level solution
• Current workflow
integrated with
technical changes
• Expected Input and
output + Reporting
and logs
Sign-Off and Extra-Requirements
• Sign-Off is necessary
to start development
• Every changes
related to the process
need estimation
Process Definition Document
Done by Business
Analyst

Process Definition Document - II

Process Definition Document - III
Missing Logic Cannot be automated
Undocumented
Applications
9
• Created before development at Design phase
• Can be a standalone document or integrated within PDD
• More technical aspects compared with PDD
• Consider Development aspects:
-Components reusability
-Queues/ ReFramework/ Dispatcher-Performer
-Assets and their Governance
• Discuss major business aspects with PM, Analyst and Process Owner
Solution Design Document
10
• Created during development
• Contains every major aspect related to development
• Custom Activities/ Codes
• Templates, Queues, Configuration files
• Constant and credential naming and storage
• To be updated in case of Changes/Fixes during Live Phase
• Sometimes can contain also relevant monitoring data (eg. Average run time,
major errors encountered)
• Signed off by Solution Architect
Development Specification Document
11
• Compiled after development, during test phase
• Should contain all possible scenarios, both correct and incorrect
• Tests have to be related to the PDD flow, and all the END branches have to be
present.
• Signed off by Process Owner as User Acceptance Test
Test Scenario Document
12
• Not mandatory but useful to select process at the start of the project
• Some rules are objective, while others are judgmental
• Event error predictability
• Time effort
• Can be changed based on needs of the project and the company
• Size
• RPA CoE availability
Process Assessment Matrix
13
• Maintain a centralized repository
• For documentation (eg. Sharepoint) as well as development (eg. GIT)
• Define naming convention from the start
-Decide on Process naming, assets, queues, templates, credentials
• Use a fixed matrix for Effort Estimation
-Number of sub-processes
-Number of applications used
-Number of steps
-Logic complexity (if, loop, switch)
Tips and Tricks
14
• Reusability is for development, but also for analysis
-Try to provide similar logic to similar processes
-Standardize reporting and logging
• The PDD is useful for what has to be automated, but also for what is out of
scope (or handled manually)
• The three most important things: reporting, reporting and reporting
• T-A-S-K C-A-P-T-U-R-E
Tips and Tricks - II
15
Examples - Documents
• Process Assessment
• PDD
• SDD
• DPD
• Test
16
Examples - Flows

Steps towards RPA Development: How to Document your Automation.pdf

  • 1. Steps towards RPA development: How to document your automation
  • 2. 2 RPA Tech Lead [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanonegro/ RPA PM [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/enricobruno/ Stefano Negro Enrico Bruno Hosts https://community.uipath.com/torino/
  • 3. 3 1. Introduction 2. Before the Documentation 3. Process Definition Document 4. Solution Design Document 5. Other Docs 6. Tips and Tricks 7. Examples 8. Q/A Agenda
  • 5. 5 Before the Documentation • Best Practice Agreement • Coding standards • Versioning (documentation and development) • Development effort estimation
  • 6. 6 As-Is • Business aspects of the process • Current workflow • Expected Input and output To-Be • High level solution • Current workflow integrated with technical changes • Expected Input and output + Reporting and logs Sign-Off and Extra-Requirements • Sign-Off is necessary to start development • Every changes related to the process need estimation Process Definition Document Done by Business Analyst Done by Business Analyst and Solution Architect Done by Solution Architect and Process Owner
  • 8. 8 Process Definition Document - III Missing Logic Cannot be automated Undocumented Applications
  • 9. 9 • Created before development at Design phase • Can be a standalone document or integrated within PDD • More technical aspects compared with PDD • Consider Development aspects: -Components reusability -Queues/ ReFramework/ Dispatcher-Performer -Assets and their Governance • Discuss major business aspects with PM, Analyst and Process Owner Solution Design Document
  • 10. 10 • Created during development • Contains every major aspect related to development • Custom Activities/ Codes • Templates, Queues, Configuration files • Constant and credential naming and storage • To be updated in case of Changes/Fixes during Live Phase • Sometimes can contain also relevant monitoring data (eg. Average run time, major errors encountered) • Signed off by Solution Architect Development Specification Document
  • 11. 11 • Compiled after development, during test phase • Should contain all possible scenarios, both correct and incorrect • Tests have to be related to the PDD flow, and all the END branches have to be present. • Signed off by Process Owner as User Acceptance Test Test Scenario Document
  • 12. 12 • Not mandatory but useful to select process at the start of the project • Some rules are objective, while others are judgmental • Event error predictability • Time effort • Can be changed based on needs of the project and the company • Size • RPA CoE availability Process Assessment Matrix
  • 13. 13 • Maintain a centralized repository • For documentation (eg. Sharepoint) as well as development (eg. GIT) • Define naming convention from the start -Decide on Process naming, assets, queues, templates, credentials • Use a fixed matrix for Effort Estimation -Number of sub-processes -Number of applications used -Number of steps -Logic complexity (if, loop, switch) Tips and Tricks
  • 14. 14 • Reusability is for development, but also for analysis -Try to provide similar logic to similar processes -Standardize reporting and logging • The PDD is useful for what has to be automated, but also for what is out of scope (or handled manually) • The three most important things: reporting, reporting and reporting • T-A-S-K C-A-P-T-U-R-E Tips and Tricks - II
  • 15. 15 Examples - Documents • Process Assessment • PDD • SDD • DPD • Test
