13. Questions

14. FAQs
FAQ 1:Can you perform data-driven testing in Studio Web?
•No, data-driven testing features are currently exclusive to Studio Desktop. These include creating test cases, adding test data sources,
viewing test results, and assessing activity coverage.
FAQ 2:What is the difference between the Auto-Generate option in test data sources and Generate with Autopilot?
•Auto-Generate creates basic test data based on rules like If statements and Switches, often resulting in less relevant variations. AI-Generate
with Autopilot uses advanced AI to produce more realistic and valuable data based on specific prompts.
FAQ 3: How can I manage test data across multiple test cases?
•To manage test data across multiple test cases, you can select the option to "Update all test cases using the same test data"when updating
the test data. This ensures consistency across all related test cases.
FAQ 4: How can I ensure that my AI-generated test data is effective for my testing needs?
•For effective test data generation, follow best practices such as creating robust arguments, using clear instructions for your preferred data
combinations, and providing specific prompts to customize the data set. Refer to the "Generating synthetic test data" guide for detailed
recommendations.
FAQ 5:How do I analyze the impact of changes in my SAP system using Heatmap?
•To analyze changes, select "Analyze Transports" in the Heatmap. Hover over the information icon for a preview of the number of transports
that can be analyzed.

15. FAQs
FAQ 6:How does the Heatmap link test cases to executed transactions?
•The Heatmap links test cases to executed transactions using unique labels (e.g., TRAN). To enable this linkage, set "Enable SAP monitoring"
to True in your Studio project settings under UI Automation Classic.
FAQ 7: What are the prerequisites and best practices for using data-driven testing in UiPath?
•To use data-driven testing, you need to have Orchestrator version 2022.4 or higher. For effective use, ensure you debug and run data-driven
test cases exclusively from the Test Explorer panel. For more details on managing and executing test cases, visit the Working With Test
Explorer documentation. These data driven testcases can then published to Orchestrator and executed to run as unattended as test sets.
FAQ 8: How is Autopilot licensed and what are the usage limits?
•Autopilot actions are licensed based on usage. Each user on the Enterprise plan receives 600 actions per month, while other plans provide 5
actions per day. Actions reset monthly, and usage details are tracked through user license management. For more details, refer plan
breakdown
FAQ 9: How do I access Change Impact Analysis in the Heatmap?
•To access Change Impact Analysis: Open the Heatmap > Select "Analyze Transports" from the top-right menu. If you have Transport units'
licenses, the Transports view will open, allowing you to analyze the impact of changes. If not, you will only see an overviewofpreviously
analyzed transports.
FAQ 10: What conditions are required for performing Change Impact Analysis?
•To perform Change Impact Analysis, Test Manager must have a direct connection to your SAP instance. It supports SAP ECC, SAP
S/4HANA, and SAP EWM systems.
