UiPath, a leading enterprise automation software company, is developing foundational models, according to Daniel Dines, co-founder and chief innovation officer at UiPath. While speaking at the UiPath DevCon 2024, held in Bengaluru, Dines also pointed out that the company revealed its vision model in DevCon the previous year.
At the event, UiPath also announced a host of new features in its platform designed to enable developers to build, test, and accelerate implementation of automation.
The company announced UiPath Autopilot for Test Suite, now in public preview. Autopilot for Test Suite provides a collection of advanced AI capabilities designed to boost the productivity of testers throughout the entire testing lifecycle. Autopilot for Test Suite includes:
- AI-Powered Quality Checks: acts as an expert reviewer at a tester’s fingertips analysing requirements, from popular lifecycle tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps or documents such as a PDD, process design document.
- AI-Powered Test Design: generates manual tests with step-by-step instructions from developers’ requirements and supporting docs, such as workflows or design documents.
- AI-Powered Test Automation: converts any text, including manual test steps, into automated tests in UiPath Studio Desktop with little effort; and
- AI-Powered Test Insights: provides real-time, actionable insights into the test case portfolio, empowering rapid issue resolution and continuous improvement almost instantaneously.
“With the UiPath developer community in excess of 2 million, and developers and learners across 43 countries, the innovations we provide this community are absolutely essential in the AI and automation era. To build modern automations, it is not only about driving the UI. Developers also need API integrations, data, and AI solutions. We are making it possible for developers to access all these constructs in one integrated platform,” Dines said in a press release.
“We are infusing Generative AI across all our products. We believe when AI is combined with automation, magic happens. It’s like combining an intelligent brain with highly capable body to carry out powerful tasks,” said Munil Shah, chief technology officer, UiPath Automation Cloud.
