UiPath is one of the giants in the world of RPA. Owing to UiPathโ€˜s three key products Studio, Robot, and Orchestrator, it enables the following:

  • Designing the visual workflow of an automation process.
  • Executing necessary operations without any human intervention.
  • Deployment, scheduling, and monitoring of robots through a web application.

Its vast scope of operations comes with a set of limitations, which can be true for any technology.

From a business perspective, understanding a toolโ€™s limitations beforehand can provide you with better selection-making ability.

A browser automation project setup via the WebDriver protocol needs to take the following concerns into account:

1. Visual Automation via WebDriver

  • Usage of iframes in building up automation projects is not recommended.
  • Since a browser automation setup with a WebDriver protocol creates a new session, every saved data is lost.
  • Itโ€™d be ideal to set up an automation project on a single tab and multiple tabs can interrupt the execution.

2. Headless Automation via WebDriver

  • Headless automation needs to be configured to use the SimulateClick, SimulateType, and more such visual functions. Thatโ€™s because it doesnโ€™t support the visual functions as such.
  • Interaction with images cannot be done here.

3. Interactive Selection
