Test types in Test Manager

Test types Test Manager supports across Automation Cloud and Test Cloud, from RPA and application testing to performance, accessibility, and autonomous testing.

Test Manager is the hub for requirements, test cases, test sets, and results, regardless of what kind of testing you're doing. This page gives you an overview of every test type you can run, and points you to where to learn more about each one.

Test type	What it validates	Mais adequado para
Teste RPA	UiPath Studio automations and workflow logic	Confirming automations keep working as the underlying workflow changes
Teste de Aplicativo	Web, desktop, SAP, and mobile applications, independent of a specific automation	UI, API, data-driven, and cross-platform validation of the systems your automations interact with
Teste de desempenho	Automated functional test cases under concurrent virtual users	Load testing and catching performance regressions before they reach production
Teste de acessibilidade	Whether your application meets accessibility standards	Compliance checks managed and reported on from within Test Manager
Autonomous Test Execution	Pre-written manual test cases, executed unattended by Autopilot	Regression testing, credential-dependent testing, and one-time or ad hoc tests
Autonomous Exploration	Undefined application behavior, explored in real time with no pre-written script	Discovery-driven testing: finding unknown issues and edge cases a scripted test wouldn't catch

Teste RPA

RPA testing validates the automations you build in UiPath Studio, so you can confirm they keep working as expected while the underlying workflow changes. It's built around:

• Data-driven testing — exercising a workflow against varied input using test data files, auto-generated data, Data Service entities, or queues. See Data-driven testing.
• Mock testing — substituting inputs or dependencies during design, so parts of a process can be validated before every dependency is ready. See Mock testing.
• Activity and descriptor coverage — tracking how much of a workflow has actually been exercised by your test cases, and surfacing redundant coverage. See Activity coverage and Descriptor coverage.
• Profile execution — measuring the performance of each module in a test to catch regressions early. See Profile Execution.

Test cases are designed in Studio, published to Orchestrator as packages, then linked to Test Manager for traceability, execution management, and reporting.

Teste de Aplicativo

Application testing validates the systems your automations interact with — web, desktop, SAP, or mobile applications — independent of a specific automation project. It supports both low-code (drag-and-drop) and fully coded test automations.

UI Testing

Built on the UI Automation activities pack and the Object Repository, to interact with and assert against interface elements reliably.

API Testing

Uses the Testing activities pack to validate HTTP/API responses directly, without driving the UI.

Testes baseados em dados

The same data-driven approach used in RPA testing (test data files, auto-generated data, entities, queues) applied to application-level test cases.

Cross-platform and mobile testing

The Mobile Automation activities pack connects to device farms and emulators, so tests can run against real or virtual mobile devices without manual device handling.

Observação:

Cross-browser testing isn't a distinct feature. It's handled through how UI Automation targets a given browser, not a dedicated cross-browser test grid.

Teste de desempenho

Load-tests your automated functional test cases under concurrent virtual users. You configure load groups, ramp-up times, and thresholds in Test Manager, run a dry run to validate, then execute at scale and monitor results, including dedicated API performance result views. See Performance testing - overview.

Teste de acessibilidade

Evaluates whether your application meets accessibility standards, managed and reported on from within Test Manager. See Accessibility testing for Test Cloud.

Autonomous Test Execution

Runs pre-written manual test cases automatically using Autopilot. A human tester has already written the steps, and Autopilot executes them unattended, replacing the effort of converting a manual test into a fully scripted Studio automation. It's scoped to web-based test cases, and supports:

• Credentials via Orchestrator assets
• A choice of underlying AI models
• Live streaming, remote control, and cancellation of a run in progress

Best suited to:

• Regression testing of stable features
• Credential-dependent testing
• One-time or ad hoc tests
• Testing by business users who don't want to build or maintain scripts

Autonomous Exploration

An agent simultaneously learns about the application, designs tests, and executes them in real time, with no pre-defined test script. Guided by a charter, requirement, or user story, it explores the application like a curious user within a time-boxed session, with optional Human-in-the-Loop controls (pause, guide, skip, resume) and a structured findings report at the end.

Best suited to discovery-driven testing, for example finding unknown issues, edge cases, and unexpected behavior that a scripted test wouldn't catch.
