RPA Robotic Process Automation MCQ 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which RPA deployment model runs bots entirely on cloud infrastructure without any on-premises components?
- Attended automation
- On-premises RPA
- Cloud-native RPA (Correct answer)
- Hybrid RPA
Correct answer: Cloud-native RPA
Cloud-native RPA runs all bot orchestration, execution, and storage on cloud infrastructure with no on-premises footprint.
Question 2: In RPA, what is a 'hot bot' (also called always-on bot)?
- A bot that runs only during peak hours
- A bot continuously running and ready to process tasks immediately (Correct answer)
- A bot that handles exception escalations
- A bot that monitors other bots
Correct answer: A bot continuously running and ready to process tasks immediately
A hot bot remains continuously active and can begin processing new work items without startup delay.
Question 3: What is 'screen scraping' in the context of RPA?
- Deleting UI elements from a screen
- Extracting data displayed on a screen or application UI (Correct answer)
- Taking screenshots for audit logs
- Resizing application windows automatically
Correct answer: Extracting data displayed on a screen or application UI
Screen scraping is the technique of reading and extracting data from application UIs, even when no direct API exists.
Question 4: Which component in an RPA platform typically manages work item queues and distributes tasks to available bots?
- Bot Runner
- Orchestrator (Correct answer)
- Recorder
- Process Designer
Correct answer: Orchestrator
The Orchestrator manages queues, schedules bots, and routes work items to available Bot Runners.
Question 5: What is 'robotic desktop automation' (RDA)?
- Fully unattended server-side automation
- Attended automation that assists humans at their workstations (Correct answer)
- Automation of physical desktop hardware
- Automation of desktop publishing software only
Correct answer: Attended automation that assists humans at their workstations
RDA (Robotic Desktop Automation) is attended automation where bots assist human workers directly on their desktop during task execution.
Question 6: In RPA exception handling, what is a 'business exception'?
- A system crash during bot execution
- A network timeout error
- A case where data doesn't meet expected business rules (Correct answer)
- A licensing error in the RPA platform
Correct answer: A case where data doesn't meet expected business rules
A business exception occurs when data violates defined business rules (e.g., an invoice amount exceeds approval limits), requiring human review.
Question 7: Which practice is considered a best approach when automating a process prone to frequent UI changes?
- Use image-based selectors exclusively
- Rely only on absolute screen coordinates
- Use robust, attribute-based selectors with fallback strategies (Correct answer)
- Hard-code all element positions
Correct answer: Use robust, attribute-based selectors with fallback strategies
Attribute-based selectors with fallback strategies are more resilient to UI changes than image-based or coordinate-based approaches.
