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.”

UiPath has a differentiated opportunity to leverage its portfolio synergistically both for software testing efficiency and to address demand for RPA testing.”
