Testing activities and APIs

Test data plays a critical role in testing. Due to data regulations such as GDPR, it is not possible to use production data during testing. UiPath® provides a set of activities and APIs, that allow you to create synthetic test data.

To create your test cases in Studio, you can use the activities available in the Testing.Activities package. Also, to create your coded test cases in Studio, you can use the APIs available in the testing service, downloaded with the Testing.Activities package. Visit Testing APIs to read about how to use the testing APIs.

This section includes all activities and APIs related to testing found in the Testing.Activities package.

Note: Verify activities and APIs do not support taking screenshots on macOS and Linux operating systems.
