Must-Know UiPath Questions for RPA Developer Interviews - Part 1

 RPA Developer - UiPath Interview Questions - Part 1

1. What is UiPath Studio?
   UiPath Studio is a tool that helps to build simple or complex workflows using activities, which are then published to Orchestrator and executed by Robots.
   
   
2. What is a UiPath Robot?
   UiPath Robot is a software agent that executes the processes which are built in UiPath Studio. Orchestrator manages these robots, representing them as virtual entities. Robots can operate in two primary modes: Attended or Unattended.
   
   
3. What is Orchestrator?
   The Orchestrator is a central control center for our automation processes. It is a web-based platform that helps to monitor, schedule jobs, manage robots, and manage user access.
   
   
4. Where can we store credentials in the Orchestrator?
   We can store our credentials in the Asset which exists in Orchestrator.
   
   
   

   
   
5. What is Sequence in UiPath?

   Sequence is the smallest type of project. It is suitable for linear processes as they enable it to go from one activity to another activity seamlessly and act as a single block activity.
   

   
   

   
   
6. What is the State Machine in UiPath?

   A state machine is one of the workflow types available in UiPath. It operates using a finite number of states based on triggers or conditions. By executing a set of defined actions, it can move from one state to another state, allowing for more complex and dynamic process flows.
   

   
   
7. What is Flowchart in UiPath?
   A Flowchart workflow allows you to design a process using a diagrammatic approach. It helps create both complex and simple processes by connecting different activities and decision points.
   
   
   
   
   
8. What are Selectors?

   Selectors are XML fragments that contain attributes of UI elements and their parent attributes. They help UiPath accurately identify and interact with the elements on the screen during the automation.
   
   
9. What are the types of Wildcards?

   There are two types of wildcards.

   * (Asterisk) - Replaces multiple characters.

   ? (Question) - Replace a single character.

   Wildcards can be used to handle dynamic selectors or changes in UI elements.
   
   
10. What are the differences between Switch and Flow Switch in UiPath?

    Switch:

    It selects one choice from many activities to execute based on the value in the given expression of the type specified in the object type specifier.
    
    

    
    

    Flow Switch:

    It is used within the Flowchart workflow and determines the next step in the flow based on the given expression. Each possible outcome(branch) is linked to a specific value.
