RPA Solution Architect's Handbook

By: Sachin Sahgal

Overview of this book

RPA solution architects play an important role in the automation journey and initiatives within the organization. However, the implementation process is quite complex and daunting at times. RPA Solution Architect’s Handbook is a playbook for solution architects looking to build well-designed and scalable RPA solutions. You’ll begin by understanding the different roles, responsibilities, and interactions between cross-functional teams. Then, you’ll learn about the pillars of a good design: stability, maintainability, scalability, and resilience, helping you develop a process design document, solution design document, SIT/UAT scripts, and wireframes. You’ll also learn how to design reusable components for faster, cheaper, and better RPA implementation, and design and develop best practices for module decoupling, handling garbage collection, and exception handling. At the end of the book, you’ll explore the concepts of privacy, security, reporting automated processes, analytics, and taking preventive action to keep the bots healthy. By the end of this book, you’ll be well equipped to undertake a complete RPA process from design to implementation efficiently.

Module pattern

Module patterns are a way of organizing code in software development that involves breaking up a program into smaller, independent parts or modules. These modules can then be used in different parts of the program, making it easier to manage and update the code. In this section, we will discuss module patterns, their use in the software industry, some examples of module patterns, and how they can be used in RPA.

Module patterns in the software industry

Module patterns are widely used in the software industry as a best practice for developing large, complex software systems. By breaking down a program into smaller modules, developers can make it easier to understand and maintain, as well as allow for greater reusability and flexibility. Some common examples of module patterns include the Singleton pattern, the Factory pattern, and the Observer pattern:

  • Singleton pattern: This pattern ensures that there is only one instance of a particular class in a program...
