Unit testing checks individual workflow components in isolation, while integration testing validates that the bot correctly interacts with all connected systems end-to-end.

Question 58: What did RPA look like in its early stages?

Robotic data
Coding bits
Screen scraping (Correct answer)
Software matching

Correct answer: Screen scraping

Explanation: The early form of RPA existed as screen scraping or screen scraping automation tools.
