GUI Automation is the process of simulating mouse and keyboard actions on windows and controls. Most automation tools are based either on the coordinates of the controls or the text they contain, but this is not always reliable. UiPath understands the internals of all the major GUI frameworks, from Win32 to WPF, HTML, and Java. It can recognize graphical objects by their platform-specific attributes and provides a unified GUI automation API that works the same way everywhere. In very particular scenarios, where object recognition is not available (such as with remote desktop apps or in Citrix environments), UiPath can still do a great job using image and OCR text-based automation.
