Orchestrating IAT, IPA, and RPA With Low-Code Platforms: Benefits and Challenges of Advanced Automation and Testing

Editor's Note: The following is an article written for and published in DZone's 2024 Trend Report, Low-Code Development: Elevating the Engineering Experience With Low and No Code.


When software development teams face pressure to deliver high-quality applications rapidly, low-code platforms offer the needed support for rapidly evolving business requirements and complex integrations. Integrating intelligent automated testing (IAT), intelligent process automation (IPA), and robotic process automation (RPA) solutions, which can adapt to changes more readily, ensures that testing and automation keep pace with the evolving applications and processes. In a low-code development environment, as shown in Figure 1, IAT, IPA, and RPA can reduce manual effort and improve test coverage, accuracy, and efficiency in the SDLC and process automation.
