UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a leading enterprise automation software company, today announced that it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud Testing 2022 Vendor Assessment – Empowering Business Velocity.* The report, which includes UiPath for the first time among traditional software quality tools, examines cloud testing adoption trends and their influence on organizational success through the development of secure, high-quality software.

Within the report, the IDC MarketScape recognizes UiPath for capitalizing on its Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology and dominant position in the enterprise automation market to help enable timely, needed coordination and synergy for the testing of automations.

In the report, Melinda-Carol Ballou, Research Director for IDC's Application Life-Cycle Management (ALM) program, writes: “The breadth, depth, and preeminence of UiPath’s RPA portfolio provide a solid foundation for the company’s testing portfolio. The open architecture and API integration strategies position UiPath to expand and augment its testing portfolio functionality and offer the benefits of broad, supported products that are popularly adopted and dominant in the market. At the same time, businesses are increasingly dependent on RPA.”

Ballou continues, “The demand is growing for testing business-critical RPA components and capabilities that have become increasingly vital with the rise of no-code development, which UiPath is singularly well positioned to address. UiPath has a differentiated opportunity to leverage its portfolio synergistically both for software testing efficiency and to address demand for RPA testing.”

“We want our platform to enable every company to be a fully automated enterprise. That means providing capabilities that allow companies to scale automation and take full advantage of it throughout their operations through the strength of our cloud offering,” said UiPath Senior Vice President of Product Management, Testing Products, Dr. Gerd Weishaar. “We’re the first RPA platform to offer automated RPA testing, and we continue to be innovation leaders in providing an easy-to-use, scalable, flexible automated testing tool that provides superior testing capability to RPA teams as well as application testing teams. We’re incredibly proud of our recognition from the IDC MarketScape, and we believe it validates automation’s role in software testing market.”
