Building Resilient Robots: Guiding Principles for Scaling RPA Amid Change
The UiPath whitepaper “Building Resilient Robots” outlines best practices for developing and maintaining scalable, robust RPA systems. It identifies that 72% of automation failures stem from uncontrollable changes in applications and environments, leading to maintenance burdens as automation scales. To counter this, the guide recommends principles like modular design, separation of concerns, reusability, and simplicity. It emphasizes automated test cases, version control, and CI/CD integration. By applying these practices, companies like Chipotle, VMWare, and COX achieved major gains, including a 10x deployment speed increase and up to 96% reduction in downtime.
