My tech career started in quality assurance as a software tester and shortly thereafter I got into test automation which is simply automating the process of testing software. You can see on this typical corporate org chart that the quality control team typically resides within the engineering department. Since I've also created several courses about test automation and I have over 4000 test automation students worldwide I thought I'd pick a quick video to differentiate test automation from robotic process automation. So my fellow test automakers can see how much bigger of an opportunity robotic process automation truly is you'll still benefit from this lecture even if you're not a test Automator So as I was explaining earlier the quality control team is typically embedded within an engineering or I.T. department and this department is responsible for creating new software products whether it's web sites or mobile apps and things like that of course as new products are developed and modified. Human beings need to think about test cases that can be run to make sure that the products work properly as changes are made to existing applications. It's necessary to do some new tests. But at the same time the testers need to go back and retest all of the existing functionality that might have been impacted by the new changes. This is called regression testing and it's very monotonous repetitive and boring. So regression testing of software products is the most common application for test automation and you can see here on this org chart exactly where the impact to the business lies. Test automation involves repeating the same tests over and over again on different operating systems or different browsers or different mobile applications. The results of these tests allow us to give a thumbs up or a thumbs down about whether the product can be shipped due to the presence of defects robotic process automation is completely different than test automation RPA is about creating software robots that are capable of doing actual business process work in any department throughout the company. So if we look at this finance department here you can see that there's accounting and budgeting and planning and payroll. There are many processes in there that involve copying data from one place to another and making reports if you move over to the marketing team you could have softwares that deal with customer service automatically responding to new leads that are generated and even automatically creating new advertisements based on some kind of stimulus in the outside market. H.R. is another prime place for software robots because there are many repetitive rules based processes that pertain to recruitment and attendance and even staff training. So as you can see test automation has an impact in one small team of one department whereas robotic process automation can impact any team in any department across the entire enterprise. Test automation has been around for a while. And jobs are getting harder and harder to find especially because we're only talking about the engineering department. And there are only a finite number of products that are developed by these engineering teams. However there are many many companies in the world and all of them have all of these different departments or more. And when you think about the huge number of manual processes that exist in every team of every department around the world you start to understand why RPA is such a huge opportunity for anybody who knows how to do automation already. So it's certainly fine to keep moving forward with your test automation skills and work but I highly recommend learning robotic process automation right now and getting in on your resume because these jobs are going to be coming fast and hard within the coming months and years.
RPA vs. Test Automation If you have�test automation�skills,�RPA�will be a natural extension for you. What's most important is that while test automation jobs are becoming more�saturated and competitive, RPA�jobs are exploding, and companies currently�can't find enough qualified people! People with a testing background also make for better RPA developers, because you usually test your own robots�better befor
