The Robotic Process Automation (RPA) lifecycle GIVES structure to the automation process, allowing us to CHECK that the deployment is going as planned at each stage. The stages are as follows:

• Stage 1 – Identification: RPA strategists and architects work with business TEAMS to define a business process for RPA development. The development is done in an agile and customizable manner.
• Stage 2 – Analysis: The requirements of the client's processes are analysed and identified by a Process Architect. The degree of automation is determined by this study and the process's complexity. As a result, the advantages and outcomes of automation are immediately highlighted.
• Stage 3 – Design: Process and Technical Architects generate PDDs (Process Definition Documents) based on requirement analysis, which describes the information for each step in each process. To better comprehend the flow of the process, develop an Object Model Diagram or a FLOWCHART. After the flowchart is complete, the RPA tool that will automate the process is chosen.
• Stage 4 – Development: Developers generate automation scripts and codes with the aid of specified RPA tools (UiPath, Blue Prism, ETC.) and technologies, as well as the reference of Process Design Document (PDD), during the development process/phase.
• Stage 5 – Testing: The testing team, which includes QA as part of the standard Systems Development Life Cycle, conducts post-development phase testing. Having a dedicated testing team to perform QA is the best approach. The bot is tested in a pre-production environment to confirm that it fulfils the need of automating a given task.
• Stage 6 - Implementation: Unit testing should be carried out once all of the components have been assembled. To ensure a smooth integration, all of the components are checked. If any faults are discovered during diagnosis, the bot is returned to the development and testing teams for resolution.
