UiPath-ADPv1 UiPath Automation Developer Professional v1 Exam Question and Answers

The UiPath Remote Runtime component is a component that enables the automation of remote applications or desktops, such as Citrix Virtual Apps, Windows Remote Desktop, or VMware Horizon, by using native selectors. Native selectors are expressions that identify UI elements reliably and accurately, without relying on OCR or image recognition activities1. The UiPath Remote Runtime component works as follows:

• It is installed on the remote server where the applications or desktops are hosted.
• It communicates with the dedicated UiPath extension that is installed on the client machine where Studio or Robot is installed.
• It gathers information about the targeted UI elements of the remote applications and sends them to the corresponding extension.
• It allows the extension to generate native selectors for the remote UI elements in UIExplorer, a tool that helps you create and edit selectors2.

The UiPath Remote Runtime component is required for automating in virtual environments, as it provides a bridge between the remote server and the client machine, and enables the use of native selectors, which are more reliable and efficient than OCR or image recognition activities3.

The State activity is a container for using State Machine specific activities. It can be added or modified in the State Machine activity, which is a type of automation that uses a finite number of states in its execution1. The State activity contains three major sections: Entry, Exit, and Transition(s)2.

• The Entry section enables the user to add entry actions for the selected state, which are executed when the state is entered.
• The Exit section enables the user to add exit actions for the selected state, which are executed when the state is exited.
• The Transition(s) section displays all the transitions linked to the selected state, which are represented by arrows or branches between states. Each transition can be expanded to view or edit its three subsections: Trigger, Condition, and Action2.

Option D is the correct answer, as it lists the major sections that can be added or modified in the State activity of a UiPath project that uses State Machines. Option A is incorrect, as there is no Conditional expressions section in the State activity. Option B is incorrect, as there are no Guard and Trigger attributes sections in the State activity, but rather subsections in the Transition(s) section. Option C is incorrect, as there is no Trigger conditions section in the State activity, but rather a subsection in the Transition(s) section.

The Add Log Fields activity adds custom log fields to the Robot Execution Logs, which are included in every Log Message execution throughout the entire workflow1. The custom log fields can be useful for adding more information and visibility to the logs, especially for transactional data processes2. However, the custom log fields are not permanent and can be removed by using the Remove Log Fields activity, which takes the name of the custom log field as an input1. The Remove Log Fields activity is usually placed at the end of a transaction, to reset and remove the custom log fields for the next transaction2. Therefore, the custom log fields will stop being added to the robot execution logs when a Remove Log Fields activity is used to remove them.

The Check App State activity is specifically designed for UI synchronization. It checks the state of a UI element, ensuring that subsequent actions are performed when the UI element is in the desired state.

The Show Elements button in the Computer Vision wizard is used to highlight all UI elements that have been identified by the Computer Vision analysis. This helps you to see the UI elements that are available for automation and to select the ones that you want to use in your activities. The Show Elements button is located in the top-right corner of the Computer Vision wizard. When you click it, the UI elements are highlighted with different colors and shapes, depending on their type and category. You can hover over each UI element to see its name and properties. You can also use the Filter Elements button to filter out specific UI elements from being processed by the Computer Vision engine.

 The Global Exception Handler is a type of workflow that determines the project’s behavior when encountering an execution error. It has two arguments that are provided by default and should not be removed. They are:

• errorinfo: This argument has the “In” direction and it stores information about the error that was thrown and the workflow that failed. It can be used to log the error details, get the name of the activity that caused the error, or count the number of retries1.
• result: This argument has the “Out” direction and it is used to specify the next action of the process when it encounters an error. It can have one of the following values: Continue, Ignore, Retry, or Abort. These values determine whether the exception is re-thrown, ignored, retried, or stops the execution1.

The other options are not correct, because they either have the wrong direction for the arguments, or they use the “In/Out” direction, which is not valid for the Global Exception Handler arguments1.

The Object Repository in UiPath organizes elements in a hierarchical structure that reflects the logical arrangement of user interfaces and elements as they are captured and used in automation projects.

The correct hierarchy for elements in the Object Repository tree structure is:

A. Version, Application, Screen, UI Element.

This hierarchy starts with the 'Version', which could refer to the specific version of the application you are automating. Under each version, there could be multiple 'Applications' that you have elements for. Within each application, you might have captured various 'Screens' or dialogs, and within each screen, there are individual 'UI Elements' like buttons, text fields, dropdown menus, etc., that the automation interacts with.

However, it's important to note that in practice, when you are working with UiPath Studio and its Object Repository, the hierarchy usually starts with the 'Application', then under it, you have different 'Screens' of the application, and under each screen, you have the 'UI Elements'. The 'Version' is typically managed separately and is not a level in the hierarchy tree but rather a property or attribute of the application or element. Therefore, the most practical answer reflecting the usage in UiPath Studio would be:

C. Application, Screen, UI Element, Version.

The 'Version' here would be understood not as a layer in the hierarchy but rather as an attribute that can be associated with the 'Application' or 'UI Element'.

When expanding the functionality of a workflow to compute the sum of three numbers instead of two, and having to update the test data in an Excel file accordingly, you would generally need to:

• Open the Excel file that contains the test data.
• Add a new column for the third number (e.g., Number3).
• Fill in the data for the new column with the appropriate values for the test cases.
• Save the Excel file with the updated data.
• Refresh or update the data source in the test case to reflect these changes.

This is because "Refresh Test Data" suggests that the test case will re-import or re-read the test data from its source, which in this case is the updated Excel file with the additional Number3 column. "Update Test Data" might also seem appropriate, but it typically refers to a scenario where you need to update the test case's reference to the data, not the structure of the data itself. "Add Test Data" and "Remove Test Data" are not appropriate as they imply adding a new data set or removing an existing one, rather than refreshing or updating the existing data set with the new column.

This expression evaluates if the number modulo 2 equals 0, which would mean it is even. If true, it assigns the string "Even number" to the variable message. If false (meaning the number is odd), it assigns "Odd number" to message

The value of the qty variable will be 80 after executing the Assign activity. This is because the expression in the Assign activity is using the LINQ methods AsEnumerable, SkipWhile, and Item to access the data in the dt variable. The dt variable is a DataTable that contains the following data:

Item

Quantity

apple

5

banana

10

mango

20

orange

80

grape

40

The AsEnumerable method converts the DataTable into an Enumerable collection of DataRow objects. The SkipWhile method skips the elements of the collection until the condition is false. The condition is a lambda expression that checks if the value of the Item column is equal to “mango”. The (0) indexer returns the first element of the collection after skipping. The Item method accesses the value of the Quantity column of the DataRow. The ToString method converts the value into a string. Therefore, the expression will skip the first three rows of the DataTable and return the value of the Quantity column of the fourth row, which is 80. References: [DataTable.AsEnumerable Method], [Enumerable.SkipWhile Method], [DataRow.Item Property]

A test case is a set of steps and expected results that verify a certain functionality or behavior of an automation. A test case can be created in UiPath Studio or UiPath Test Manager, and it can contain both manual and automated steps. A test case can be executed manually or automatically, depending on the type of steps it contains.

A test case follows the Given-When-Then structure, which is a common format for writing test scenarios. The Given section describes the preconditions or initial state of the system before the test is executed. The When section describes the actions or events that trigger the test. The Then section describes the expected outcomes or postconditions of the test.

The InitAllApplications TestCase is a test case that verifies the initialization of all the applications that are used in the automation project. It is usually created in UiPath Studio, using the Test Cases feature. The InitAllApplications TestCase can be linked to the InitAllApplications.xaml workflow, which is a component of the REFramework template that opens and logs in to all the applications that are required for the automation.

The pre-requisite for running the InitAllApplications TestCase is to invoke the InitAllSettings.xaml file in the Given section of the test case. The InitAllSettings.xaml workflow is another component of the REFramework template that reads the configuration data from the Config.xlsx file and initializes the settings and assets for the automation project. By invoking the InitAllSettings.xaml file in the Given section, the test case ensures that the settings and assets are available and ready before opening and logging in to the applications.

The other options are not pre-requisites for running the InitAllApplications TestCase. Option B is incorrect, because the SetTransactionStatus.xaml file is not related to the initialization of applications, but to the setting of the status of a queue item after processing it. Option C is incorrect, because the CloseAllApplications.xaml file is not related to the initialization of applications, but to the closing of all the applications that were opened by the automation. Option D is incorrect, because the KillAllProcesses.xaml file is not related to the initialization of applications, but to the killing of all the processes that are associated with the automation.

The purpose of the Invoke Code activity in UiPath is to invoke VB.NET or C# code, optionally passing it a list of input arguments. The Invoke Code activity allows the developer to write and execute custom code in VB.NET or C# within a UiPath workflow. The Invoke Code activity has a Code property, where the developer can enter the code to be executed. The Invoke Code activity also has an Arguments property, where the developer can specify the input and output arguments for the code. The Invoke Code activity can be useful for performing complex calculations, manipulating data, or integrating with external libraries or applications that are not supported by the existing UiPath activities. References: [Invoke Code]

When installing UiPath Studio, the action that requires administrator privileges is installing the robot in service mode. Service mode is a type of robot installation that allows the robot to run unattended automations in the background, without requiring a user to be logged in. Service mode requires administrator privileges because it involves installing the robot as a Windows service and registering it to the UiPathOrchestrator.msi file. Installing the robot in user mode does not require administrator privileges, because it involves installing the robot as a Windows application and registering it to the UiPathAssistant.msi file. User mode is a type of robot installation that allows the robot to run attended automations in the foreground, requiring a user to be logged in. Installing UiPath Studio itself does not require administrator privileges, because it involves installing the Studio as a Windows application and registering it to the UiPathStudio.msi file. References: [Robot Installation Modes], [Installing the Robot], [Installing Studio]

The Get Text activity in UiPath Studio is used to extract and copy the text from a UI element. It has a property called Scraping method, which allows you to choose the method of scraping text from the target element. The available methods are Default, Text attribute, Full text, and Native.

The Default method tries all the other methods and chooses the best one automatically. The Text attribute method uses the text value of the target element as the output. The Native method uses the native method of the application to scrape the text, and allows formatting and screen coordinates to be retrieved. The Full text method uses an OCR engine to scrape the text, and offers the option to Ignore hidden text, which can be activated by selecting its respective check box.

To capture hidden text from an application, the Full text method with the Ignore hidden text option enabled should be used. This way, the Get Text activity can retrieve the text that is not visible on the screen, but is present in the UI element. For example, this method can be used to get the text from a combo box that has more items than the ones displayed, or from a terminal window that has more editable text than the ones shown.

LINQ (Language Integrated Query) is a feature of .NET that allows you to write queries to manipulate data from various sources, such as arrays, collections, databases, or XML files. LINQ provides a set of methods that can be used to perform different operations on the data, such as filtering, sorting, grouping, aggregating, or transforming.

The LINQ method that is used to filter data in a List or DataTable based on a condition is Where. The Where method returns a new collection that contains only the elements that satisfy the specified condition. The condition is usually a lambda expression or a delegate that takes an element as a parameter and returns a Boolean value. For example, if you have a List of integers called numbers, you can write:

var evenNumbers = numbers.Where (x => x % 2 == 0);

This expression returns a new List that contains only the even numbers from the original List. Similarly, if you have a DataTable called employees, you can write:

var highSalary = employees.AsEnumerable ().Where (row => row.Field (\"Salary\") > 100000);

This expression returns a new DataTable that contains only the rows where the Salary column is greater than 100000. The AsEnumerable () method is used to convert the DataTable into an IEnumerable, which is required for using LINQ methods.

The other options are not LINQ methods that are used to filter data in a List or DataTable based on a condition. Option A, Select, is a LINQ method that is used to project or transform data from one form to another. It returns a new collection that contains the result of applying a function to each element of the source collection. Option B, GroupBy, is a LINQ method that is used to group data by a common key or attribute. It returns a new collection that contains groups of elements that share the same key value. Option C, OrderBy, is a LINQ method that is used to sort data in ascending order by a specified criterion. It returns a new collection that contains the elements of the source collection in sorted order.

The Monitoring pages in UiPath Orchestrator are pages that provide information and statistics about the performance and health of your robots, processes, queues, and jobs. You can access the Monitoring pages from the left menu in Orchestrator, under the Monitoring section.

The Include Subfolders filter in the Monitoring pages is a filter that allows you to select whether the contents of the selected folder’s subfolders are displayed in the Monitoring pages. This filter is available when a modern folder is selected from the Folder drop-down list. A modern folder is a type of folder in Orchestrator that supports dynamic and fine-grained permission management, as well as folder-level isolation of data, processes, and execution.

When the Include Subfolders filter is checked, the Monitoring pages display the data for the selected folder and all its subfolders. For example, if you select a modern folder called Sales and check the Include Subfolders filter, the Monitoring pages will show the data for the Sales folder and all its subfolders, such as Sales-East, Sales-West, Sales-North, and Sales-South. This way, you can get a comprehensive view of the performance and health of your robots, processes, queues, and jobs across multiple subfolders.

When the Include Subfolders filter is unchecked, the Monitoring pages display the data only for the selected folder. For example, if you select a modern folder called Sales and uncheck the Include Subfolders filter, the Monitoring pages will show the data only for the Sales folder, excluding its subfolders. This way, you can get a focused view of the performance and health of your robots, processes, queues, and jobs within a specific folder.

The correct answer is B. It allows you to select whether the contents of the selected folder’s subfolders are displayed. This statement accurately describes the functionality of the Include Subfolders filter in the Monitoring pages when a modern folder is selected.

The other options are not correct statements. Option A is incorrect, because the Include Subfolders filter does not allow you to choose between background and foreground processes for the displayed data. Background and foreground processes are types of processes that run in the background or foreground of the robot machine, respectively. You can filter the displayed data by process type using the Process Type filter in the Monitoring pages. Option C is incorrect, because the Include Subfolders filter does not enable you to sort the displayed data based on job priorities. Job priorities are levels of importance that are assigned to jobs when they are created or triggered, such as High, Normal, or Low. You can sort the displayed data by job priority using the Sort By drop-down list in the Monitoring pages. Option D is incorrect, because the Include Subfolders filter does not allow you to allocate licenses per machine for the displayed data. Licenses are resources that are consumed by robots, processes, or users when they perform certain actions in Orchestrator. You can allocate licenses per machine using the License Allocation page in Orchestrator.

LINQ (Language-Integrated Query) is a feature of .NET that allows you to write queries to manipulate data from various sources, such as arrays, collections, databases, XML, etc. LINQ can be used in UiPath Studio to perform complex data operations on variables of different types, such as DataTable, List, Array, etc. LINQ has two syntax forms: query syntax and method syntax. Both forms can achieve the same results, but they have different styles and preferences.

Option B is the correct answer because it demonstrates using LINQ method syntax to filter DataTable rows based on a specific condition. The expression dataTable.AsEnumerable().Where(Function(row) row(“ColumnName”).ToString.Contains(“Value”)).CopyToDataTable() does the following:

• It converts the DataTable variable dataTable to an IEnumerable(Of DataRow) object using the AsEnumerable extension method1. This allows the use of LINQ methods on the DataTable.
• It filters the rows of the DataTable based on a lambda expression using the Where extension method2. The lambda expression Function(row) row(“ColumnName”).ToString.Contains(“Value”) returns true for the rows that have the value “Value” in the column named “ColumnName”.
• It converts the filtered IEnumerable(Of DataRow) object back to a DataTable using the CopyToDataTable extension method3. This returns a new DataTable that contains only the rows that match the condition.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Option A is incorrect because it uses an invalid LINQ method Concatenate. The correct method to concatenate two strings in a list is Concat4, which takes two IEnumerable(Of T) objects as arguments and returns a new IEnumerable(Of T) that contains the elements from both sources. For example, listOfStrings.Concat(new List(Of String) {“String_1”, “String_2”}).ToList().
• Option C is incorrect because it uses an invalid LINQ method ToJSON. There is no such method in the LINQ library that can convert a list of integers to a JSON format. To achieve this, you need to use a JSON serializer, such as Newtonsoft.Json5, which provides methods to convert .NET objects to JSON and vice versa. For example, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(listOfIntegers).
• Option D is incorrect because it uses an invalid LINQ method Split. There is no such method in the LINQ library that can split a DataTable into multiple smaller DataTables based on a specific condition. To achieve this, you need to use a group by clause in LINQ query syntax or a GroupBy extension method in LINQ method syntax6, which groups the rows of a DataTable by a key value and returns an IEnumerable(Of IGrouping(Of TKey, TElement)) object. Then, you can use a Select extension method to project each group into a new DataTable using the CopyToDataTable extension method. For example, dataTable.AsEnumerable().GroupBy(Function(row) row(“ColumnName”)).Select(Function(group) group.CopyToDataTable()).ToList().

A State Machine is a type of automation that uses a finite number of states in its execution. It can go into a state when it is triggered by an activity, and it exits that state when another activity is triggered. A State Machine consists of four primary components:

•States: These are the nodes that represent the possible situations or conditions of the automation. Each state can have one or more activities inside it that define the behavior of the automation in that state. There are two types of states: State and Final State. A State Machine must have one initial state and one or more final states.

•Triggers: These are the events or conditions that cause the automation to enter a state. A trigger can be an activity, a variable, or an argument that is executed or evaluated before entering a state. For example, a Click activity can be a trigger for entering a state that performs some actions after clicking a button.

•Transitions: These are the arrows or branches that connect the states and define the flow of the automation. A transition can have a condition that determines whether the automation can move from one state to another. For example, a Boolean expression can be a condition for a transition that checks if a certain condition is true or false before moving to the next state.

•Actions: These are the activities or sequences that are executed when the automation moves from one state to another. An action can be performed before or after the transition, depending on the type of the transition. For example, a Log Message activity can be an action that logs a message when the automation exits a state.

You can find out more about state machines on the Studio - State Machines - UiPath Documentation Portal or in the official Workflow Foundation documentation.

The command in the UiPath installation folder that configures the UIPath.RemoteDebugging.Agent utility on a Windows robot to accept remote debugging requests from Studio is UiPath-RemoteDebugging.Agent.exe enable -port -password -verbose. This command enables the remote debugging agent on the robot machine and sets the port number and the password that are required for the connection. The verbose option enables the logging of the agent activity to the console. The remote debugging agent is a utility that allows you to debug workflows on a remote robot from Studio, by using the Remote Debugging feature. This feature enables you to connect to a remote robot, run the workflow, and inspect the variables and arguments in real time. To use this feature, you need to install the remote debugging agent on the robot machine and configure it with the same port number and password that you use in Studio. References: [Remote Debugging], [Remote Debugging Agent]

UiPath Integration Service is the component of the UiPath Platform that makes the automation of third-party applications much easier by standardizing authorization and authentication, helping you manage API connections and also allowing faster integration into SaaS platforms1. By using pre-built connectors, the development of automation projects in UiPath Studio is more simple and more consistent, regardless of the third-party applications you are automating1. Some of the advantages of pre-built connectors are:

• They enable automation with an out-of-the-box library of connectors for popular applications such as Salesforce, Slack, Microsoft Office 365, SAP, ServiceNow, and Google G Suite23.
• They help setting up and managing connections easily with standardized authentication methods such as OAuth 2.0, Basic, API Key, and Custom1.
• They enable kicking off automations with server-side triggers or events, such as receiving an email, creating a record, or updating a field1.
• They provide curated activities and events (with additional data filters) for ease of use in UiPath Studio1.
• They simplify automation design by providing a uniform experience across all Studio designers1.
• They integrate across all UiPath Platform product solutions, such as UiPath Orchestrator, UiPath Assistant, UiPath Action Center, and UiPath Apps3.

The Descriptor Coverage sub-panel in the Test Explorer provides Selector coverage information. This coverage data is crucial for understanding how well the selectors in a project are being tested.

The value that will be displayed in the Output Panel at the end of the sequence is 9. This is because the code in the Invoke Code activity is looping through the array in_numArray and setting the variable out_numVar to the highest value in the array. The array in_numArray has the values {1, 2, 7, 9, 4} as shown in the list of arguments. The variable out_numVar is initialized to 0. The For loop iterates from 0 to the upper bound of the array, which is 4. In each iteration, the If condition checks if the current element of the array is greater than the current value of out_numVar. If it is, then out_numVar is assigned to the current element of the array. Otherwise, out_numVar remains unchanged. Therefore, after the first iteration, out_numVar becomes 1. After the second iteration, out_numVar becomes 2. After the third iteration, out_numVar becomes 7. After the fourth iteration, out_numVar becomes 9. After the fifth iteration, out_numVar remains 9, since 4 is not greater than 9. The Write Line activity outputs the value of out_numVar to the console, which is 9. References: Invoke Code

The correct option about a State Machine layout is that it can have only one initial state and multiple final states. A State Machine is a type of workflow that consists of a set of states, transitions, and triggers. A state represents a stage of the process, a transition represents a change from one state to another, and a trigger represents a condition or an event that activates a transition. A State Machine can have only one initial state, which is the starting point of the workflow, and one or more final states, which are the end points of the workflow. A State Machine can also have intermediate states, which are the states between the initial and the final states. A State Machine can have multiple paths and branches, depending on the logic and the triggers of the workflow.

In the BDD (Behavioral-Driven Development) template structure, the "Setup" part of a test case supports the Surround with mock feature. This section is used to set up the testing environment, including mock configurations.

To utilize the default REFramework without relying on Orchestrator queues, the essential prerequisite is to exclude the Get Transaction Item activity from the project, eliminate the three SetTransactionStatus activities from the SetTransactionStatus workflow, and change the variable type of the TransactionItem and TransactionData variables. The Get Transaction Item activity is used to retrieve a transaction item from the Orchestrator queue, which is not needed if the queue is not used. The SetTransactionStatus activities are used to update the status of the transaction item in the Orchestrator queue, which is also not needed if the queue is not used. The variable type of the TransactionItem and TransactionData variables should be changed to match the type of data that is used as input for the process, such as DataRow, String, or Object. These changes will ensure that the project does not interact with Orchestrator and can use other sources of data for the transactions. References: [The UiPath REFrameWork], [Get Transaction Item], [Set Transaction Status]

The service mode is recommended for running unattended automations in UiPath. This mode allows robots to run without needing a user to be logged in, making it ideal for unattended scenarios.

The REFramework is a project template based on State Machines, which follows the best practices regarding logging, exception handling, application initialization, and others1. The REFramework uses a queue in Orchestrator to store the transaction items, which are the units of data that need to be processed by the automation process1. The status of a transaction item can be set to Failed or Successful using the Set Transaction Status activity, which also allows specifying the ErrorType as Business or Application2. A Business ErrorType indicates that the transaction failed due to a business rule exception, such as invalid or incomplete data2. An Application ErrorType indicates that the transaction failed due to an application exception, such as a system error or a timeout2.

The REFramework has four main states: Init, Get Transaction Data, Process Transaction, and End Process1. The process transitions between these states based on the conditions and triggers defined in the state machine1. The process starts with the Init state, where the application is initialized and the Config file is read1. Then, the process moves to the Get Transaction Data state, where the next transaction item is retrieved from the queue1. If there is a transaction item available, the process moves to the Process Transaction state, where the main logic of the automation is executed1. If the transaction is processed successfully, the status is set to Successful and the process returns to the Get Transaction Data state1. If the transaction fails due to a Business ErrorType, the status is set to Failed and the process also returns to the Get Transaction Data state, without retrying the transaction1. If the transaction fails due to an Application ErrorType, the status is set to Failed and the process retries the transaction until the maximum number of retries is reached1. If there is no transaction item available, or if the maximum number of retries is reached, or if a System Error occurs, the process moves to the End Process state, where the application is closed and the final report is generated1.

Therefore, considering a process developed using REFramework, if the status of a transaction was set to “Failed” with the ErrorType specified as “Business”, the process will transition to the Get Transaction Data state, where it will fetch the next transaction item from the queue.

The recommended approach for handling tabular data when building a REFramework transactional project in UiPath is to utilize a DataTable variable to store and process the tabular data. A DataTable variable can hold data in a tabular format, with rows and columns, and can be easily manipulated using built-in activities such as Read Range, Write Range, Filter Data Table, For Each Row, etc. A DataTable variable can also be used as the input for the Get Transaction Data state in the REFramework, which retrieves each row of data as a transaction item for processing. References: [UiPath Studio Guide - Data Tables], [UiPath Studio Guide - The REFramework]

In the REFramework, best practices suggest storing sensitive information like email account credentials in an Orchestrator Credential asset. This asset is then referenced in the Config.xlsx file, specifically in the Assets sheet, ensuring secure and centralized management of credentials.

A state machine is a type of automation that uses a finite number of states in its execution. It can go into a state when it is triggered by an activity, and it exits that state when another activity is triggered1. A state machine consists of states, transitions, and actions1. The components that define a state within a state machine in UiPath Studio are:

•Entry Actions: These are the activities that are executed when the state is entered1. For example, an entry action can be used to initialize a variable, display a message, or log some information1.

•Exit Actions: These are the activities that are executed when the state is exited1. For example, an exit action can be used to clean up some resources, close an application, or update a status1.

•Transition Actions: These are the activities that are executed when a transition from one state to another occurs1. For example, a transition action can be used to assign a value, send an email, or invoke a workflow1.

•Trigger Conditions: These are the conditions that determine when a transition from one state to another should happen1. For example, a trigger condition can be based on a variable value, a user input, or a timer1.

When using the Type Into activity with the Input Method set to Simulate, the 'Alter disabled element' property should be enabled to execute the activity even if the target UI element is deactivated or read-only.

In the context of a linear process, implemented with REFramework, the process will enter the Get Transaction Data state only 1 time. This is because the Get Transaction Data state is responsible for fetching the next transaction item from the data source and assigning it to the TransactionItem variable. In a linear process, there is only one transaction item that represents the entire process, and it is fetched at the beginning of the execution. Therefore, the process will enter the Get Transaction Data state only once, and then move to the Process Transaction state, where the main logic of the process is executed. The process will not return to the Get Transaction Data state, unless there is an exception or a retry in the Process Transaction state. References: [Robotic Enterprise Framework], [REFramework for Linear Processes]

In a Try Catch activity within UiPath, when an exception is thrown that does not match any of the exception types specified in the Catches section, the exception is unhandled by the Catches section. If the thrown exception is an ApplicationException and the Catches section is only configured to handle an InvalidOperationException, then the ApplicationException is not caught because it is a different type of exception.

However, regardless of whether the exception is caught, the Finally block always executes. The Finally block is designed to run after the Try block and after any Catch blocks are checked for matches (regardless of whether a match is found or not).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. The Finally block is executed and the Catches section catches the exception.

In this context, "the Catches section catches the exception" means that the Catches section is evaluated for a match. Since ApplicationException is not handled by the InvalidOperationException catch block, the exception is not actually caught, but the Finally block will still execute.

Click activity has the following properties:

•ClickType: Single

•MouseButton: Left

•Target.Timeout: 30000 ms (30 seconds)

•Target.WaitForReady: Interactive

The Target.Timeout property specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait for the activity to run before the SelectorNotFoundException error is thrown1. The default value is 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds)2.

The Target.WaitForReady property determines how long the activity should wait for the target UI element to be ready before performing the action1. The following options are available:

•None: Does not wait for anything except the target UI element to exist before executing the action1.

•Interactive: Waits until only a part of the app is loaded1.

•Complete: Waits for the entire app to be loaded1.

The default value is Interactive2, which means that the activity will wait until the UI element is visible and can be interacted with3.

Therefore, based on these properties, the Click activity will wait for the element indicated by the selector to be loaded and clickable within 30 seconds. If the element is loaded before the timeout, the activity will click it and continue to the next activity. If the element is not loaded within the timeout, the activity will throw an error and stop the execution. The animation on the web page does not affect the Click activity, as long as the target element is loaded and visible. Hence, the correct answer is A. Element is clicked once the element is fully loaded.

Test Explorer is a panel that shows information relevant to test automation in UiPath Studio. You can use Test Explorer and its sub-panels to perform various actions, such as1:

• Export test results: You can export the test results shown in the Test Results panel to a JSON or HTML file, which can be used for further analysis or reporting.
• Group tests together: You can group tests together based on different criteria, such as test type, test status, test suite, etc. This helps you organize and filter the tests in the Test Explorer panel.
• Analyze activity coverage: You can analyze the activity coverage of your test cases by using the Activity Coverage panel, which shows the percentage of activities that have been executed during the test run. You can also filter the activities by covered or uncovered in the Designer panel.

The other options are not actions that can be done in Test Explorer, because they either involve features that are not part of Test Explorer, or they are not related to test automation. For example:

• Option A is incorrect, because Test Explorer does not have a feature to export test data, but only test results. Test data can be generated or managed by using other activities, such as Generate Test Data or Test Data Queue.
• Option B is incorrect, because Test Explorer does not have a feature to perform debugging, but only to run or retry tests. Debugging can be done by using the Debug tab in Studio, which allows you to set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through the workflow.
• Option D is incorrect, because Test Explorer does not have a feature to export test data, but only test results. Test data can be generated or managed by using other activities, such as Generate Test Data or Test Data Queue.

The role of Triggers in the UiPath Integration Service is to provide a mechanism for subscribing to specific events from third-party applications, automatically starting processes in Orchestrator. The UiPath Integration Service is a cloud-based service that enables seamless integration between UiPath and various external applications, such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, and more. The Integration Service allows the developer to create Triggers that define the conditions and actions for starting processes in Orchestrator based on events that occur in the external applications. For example, a Trigger can be created to start a process that updates a customer record in UiPath when a case is closed in Salesforce. The Triggers can be configured and managed from the UiPath Integration Service portal or from the UiPath Studio.

UiPath Orchestrator provides integration capabilities with various credential stores to securely store and manage credentials such as usernames and passwords, API keys, and other secrets. The built-in support for credential stores in Orchestrator includes:

•Azure Key Vault: A cloud service provided by Microsoft that safeguards cryptographic keys and other secrets used by cloud applications and services.

•CyberArk Credential Provider (CCP): CyberArk's enterprise-grade solution designed to secure, manage, and monitor privileged accounts and credentials.

•HashiCorp Vault: A tool for secrets management, encrypting sensitive data, and access control across dynamic infrastructure.

•Thycotic Secret Server: An enterprise-level solution for privileged account management and protection of critical enterprise passwords and secrets.

•BeyondTrust: A privileged access management platform that secures and manages access to critical assets, passwords, and endpoints.

•CyberArk: In addition to the CCP, Orchestrator supports integration with other CyberArk solutions for secure credential management.

These integrations allow Orchestrator to retrieve credentials securely at runtime for use in automation workflows, enhancing the security posture by avoiding hard-coded or plaintext credentials in automation scripts.

When you create a new connection and set up an event trigger on that connection, the default polling interval is set to 5 minutes. This means that the event trigger checks for new object events every 5 minutes. You can customize this interval using the Adjustable Polling Interval feature, which allows you to choose the interval on which event triggers check for new object events. The polling interval can be changed in two ways: from a specific connector’s page or from the Connections tab. The polling interval is displayed only for connections with added triggers. Updating the polling interval affects all the associated triggers on a connection

The UiPath Integration Service is a feature of Automation Cloud that allows you to connect to various external applications and systems using predefined connectors. A connector is a component that provides the logic and interface for interacting with a specific application or system. A connection is an instance of a connector that is configured with the credentials and parameters required to access the application or system.

The role of connections in the UiPath Integration Service is to establish tasks and exchanges between users and external applications using the authentication process of the API provider. An API provider is a service that exposes an application programming interface (API) for accessing and manipulating data and functionality of an application or system. For example, Microsoft Outlook 365, Salesforce, and Google Sheets are some of the API providers that have connectors in the UiPath Integration Service.

To create a connection, you need to select a connector and provide the authentication details for the API provider. The authentication process may vary depending on the type and security level of the API provider. For example, some API providers may use OAuth 2.0, which is a standard protocol for authorizing access to resources on behalf of a user. Other API providers may use API keys, which are unique identifiers that are used to authenticate requests to the API.

Once you create a connection, you can use it to perform various tasks and exchanges with the external application or system. For example, you can use the Microsoft Outlook 365 connector to send and receive emails, create and update calendar events, and manage contacts. You can use the Salesforce connector to create and update records, execute queries, and invoke actions. You can use the Google Sheets connector to read and write data, format cells, and manage worksheets.

You can use the connections in your automation workflows in UiPath Studio, UiPath Apps, UiPath Assistant, and UiPath Test Suite. You can also manage and share your connections in UiPath Orchestrator, using the folder structure and permission system.

A pre-requisite for running functional test cases in REFramework is to invoke the InitAIISettings XAML file. This file is responsible for initializing the AI Fabric settings and connecting to the Orchestrator. It also checks if the AI Fabric environment is ready and if the ML skills are deployed and available. Without invoking this file, the functional test cases that use AI Fabric features will not work properly. References: [REFramework for AI Fabric]

o retrieve all Outlook emails with the word “UiPath” in the subject, the developer should use the Filter property and the filter schema “@SQL=”“urn:schemas:httpmail:subject”" like ‘%UiPath%’“. The Filter property allows the developer to specify a condition for retrieving the emails based on the email properties. The filter schema is a string that follows the SQL syntax and uses the urn:schemas:httpmail namespace to access the email properties. The subject property is accessed by using “urn:schemas:httpmail:subject”. The like operator is used to match the value of the subject property with a pattern that contains the word “UiPath”. The percent sign (%) is a wildcard that matches any sequence of characters. Therefore, the filter schema “@SQL=”“urn:schemas:httpmail:subject”” like ‘%UiPath%’" will match any email that has the word “UiPath” anywhere in the subject. References: Get Outlook Mail Messages

A mock file is a copy of a workflow file that is used for testing purposes, where some activities are replaced by mock activities that simulate the expected behavior1. A mock file can be created by selecting Mock workflow under test in the Create Test Case window2. The mock file is stored in the Project > Mocks folder, and it has the same name as the original workflow file, with the suffix “_mock” added2. For example, if the original workflow file is named “MySequence.xaml”, the mock file will be named “MySequence_mock.xaml”.

When a mock file is created, the changes made in the original workflow file are automatically applied to the mock file when the project is saved2. This means that any new activities or modifications in the original workflow file are reflected in the mock file, except for the activities that are surrounded by mock activities2. The mock activities are not affected by the changes in the original workflow file, and they can only be edited within the mock file2.

Therefore, if you update “MySequence” and add a Log Message activity and a Verify Expression activity, and then save the project, the changes will be applied to the mock file, assuming that the file is closed. This means that the mock file will also have the Log Message activity and the Verify Expression activity added, unless they are inside a mock activity

The states that will be executed without errors when a developer runs a process using the REFramework, with the process utilizing Orchestrator queues and a queue already created with the Name provided and the Auto Retry function disabled, are Initialization, Get Transaction Data, Process Transaction, and End Process. The REFramework is a template that provides a robust and scalable structure for building automation processes. The REFramework consists of four main states: Initialization, Get Transaction Data, Process Transaction, and End Process. The Initialization state is responsible for initializing the application, reading the configuration file, and logging in to the Orchestrator. The Get Transaction Data state is responsible for fetching the next transaction item from the Orchestrator queue and assigning it to the TransactionItem variable. The Process Transaction state is responsible for executing the main logic of the process for the current transaction item. The End Process state is responsible for closing the application, logging out of the Orchestrator, and performing any cleanup actions. If the process utilizes Orchestrator queues and a queue already exists with the Name provided and the Auto Retry function disabled, then the process will be able to execute these states without errors, assuming that there are no other issues or exceptions in the workflow. References: [Robotic Enterprise Framework], [REFramework States]

The Strict Selector is a targeting method that uses the selector information of a UI element to identify it on the screen. It is one of the four targeting methods available in UiPath Studio, along with Fuzzy Selector, Image, and Computer Vision1. The Strict Selector is considered to be the most reliable and stable targeting method, as it uses the attributes and properties of the UI element that are unlikely to change2.

At indication time, the Strict Selector has the following functionalities available:

• Open in UiExplorer: This option opens the UiPath Explorer window, where you can inspect and edit the selector information of the indicated UI element, as well as use advanced features such as anchors, wildcards, variables, and regex3.
• Copy to clipboard: This option copies the selector information of the indicated UI element to the clipboard, so you can paste it elsewhere, such as in a text editor or another activity.
• Show all matches: This option highlights all the UI elements on the screen that match the selector information of the indicated UI element. This helps you to check if there are any duplicates that might cause the automation to fail at runtime. You can also use the Ignore text option to exclude the text attribute from the selector information, which might reduce the number of matches4.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Option A is incorrect because it does not include the Show all matches option, which is available for the Strict Selector.
• Option B is incorrect because it does not include the Open in UiExplorer option, which is available for the Strict Selector.
• Option D is incorrect because it includes the Accuracy option, which is not available for the Strict Selector. The Accuracy option is only available for the Image targeting method, which allows you to adjust the similarity threshold between the indicated image and the target image5.

The Verbose logging level includes the following information by default:

• Execution Started log entry - generated every time a process is started.
• Execution Ended log entry - generated every time a process is finalized.
• Transaction Started log entry - generated every time a transaction item is obtained by the robot from Orchestrator.
• Transaction Ended log entry - generated every time the robot sets the transaction status to either Success or Failed.
• Activity Information log entry - generated every time an activity is started, faulted or finished inside a workflow.
• Arguments and Variables Information log entry - show values of the variables and arguments that are used.

The Verbose logging level is the most detailed one and it is useful for debugging purposes, as it provides a lot of information about the execution flow and the data used by the robot. However, it also generates a lot of log entries, which can affect the performance and the storage space of the robot and Orchestrator. References: [Logging Levels]

The queue that will be consumed by the robot is QueueB from FolderA. This is because the arguments passed from Orchestrator have priority over the settings from the Config file. Therefore, the value of in_OrchestratorQueueName overrides the value of OrchestratorQueueName, and the value of in_OrchestratorQueueFolder overrides the value of OrchestratorQueueFolder. However, since the value of in_OrchestratorQueueFolder is empty, the default folder where the process is published is used, which is FolderA1.

The other options are not correct, because they do not reflect the values of the arguments passed from Orchestrator. For example:

• Option A is incorrect, because the queue name is QueueA, not QueueB.
• Option B is incorrect, because the queue folder is Shared, not FolderA.
• Option D is incorrect, because the queue folder is Shared, not FolderA.

The screenshot shows an "Invoke Code" activity in UiPath with the following VB.NET code:

Users_List.Add("User1")

Users_List.Add("User2")

According to the given information, the "Users_List" variable is a List of Strings that has been initialized with an empty list before the Invoke Code activity is run. The code within the Invoke Code activity is adding two strings: "User1" and "User2" to the "Users_List".

The Log Message activity following the Invoke Code is attempting to log the count of items in "Users_List", which would be the number of elements contained in the list at that time.

Given the steps that have been described, after the Invoke Code activity has run, the "Users_List" will contain two elements ("User1" and "User2"). Therefore, the log message will print the count of items in the list, which is:

B. 2

So the correct answer is B, as the "Users_List" will have two elements and Users_List.Count will return the number 2.

The Invoke Code activity is used to execute VB.NET or C# code within a UiPath workflow1. The activity has the following properties:

• Code: The code that is to be executed. This field supports only strings and String variables1.
• Language: The language that the code is written in. The available options are VBNet and CSharp1.
• Arguments: The parameters that can be passed to and from the code1.

In this question, the developer has created a variable of type List of Strings named “Users_List”, and initialized it with an empty list: “Users_List = new List(Of String)”. Then, the developer has used the Invoke Code activity to execute the following code:

Users_List.Add(“User1”) Users_List.Add(“User2”)

This code adds two items (“User1” and “User2”) to the “Users_List” variable. After the Invoke Code activity, the developer has used the Log Message activity to print the count of items in the “Users_List” variable, using the expression “Users_List.Count.ToString”. This expression returns the number of items in the list as a string2. Therefore, the log message will print “2”, as there are two items in the list

Based on the exhibits provided, the developer has set up an Invoke Method activity to add an item to the "Colors" list variable. The list is initially declared with two items "Red" and "Green". The Invoke Method activity is configured to add the string "Yellow" to this list.

The properties of the Invoke Method activity indicate that the method 'Add' will be called on the target object 'Colors' with the parameter "Yellow". This means the string "Yellow" will be added to the end of the list.

The outcome of executing this Invoke Method activity will be:

D. Colors will contain items in the following order: "Red", "Green", "Yellow".

This is because items in a List in .NET are added in sequence, and the "Add" method appends the new item to the end of the list.

When starting a job manually in UiPath Orchestrator, the default priority value for the Job Priority field is Inherited. This means that the job inherits the priority value that was set at the process level when the package was deployed. The possible priority values are High, Normal, and Low. The priority value determines the order in which the jobs are executed by the robots, with higher priority jobs being executed first. The priority value can be changed manually when starting a job, or it can be set dynamically using the Start Job activity in a workflow. References: [Starting a Job], [Job Priority]
