System Configuration Using Robotic Process Automation

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying a computer program for performing a method for setting up a software application for use, said method comprising:

• receiving, from a user, a request to configure the software application;
• in response to the request, importing a content package of the software application;
• deriving, using Natural Language Processing (NLP), configuration data from the content package, the configuration data including a sequence of steps having a first end and a second end;
• storing the configuration data in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
• creating, for at least one of the sequence of steps, a robotic process automation (RPA) bot from the configuration data;
• using the RPA bot to provide at least part of the configuration data to the software application in the at least one of the sequence of steps;
• testing the sequence of steps according to a path including the first end and the second end;
• reporting to the user, a summary including a status of the testing.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a software program, executable on said computer system, the software program configured to cause an in-memory database engine of an in-memory database to:
• receive, from a user, a request to configure the software application;
• in response to the request, import a content package of the software application;
• derive configuration data from the content package, the configuration data including a sequence of steps having a first end and a second end;
• store the configuration data in the in-memory database;
• create, for at least one of the sequence of steps, a robotic process automation (RPA) bot from the configuration data;
• use the RPA bot to provide at least part of the configuration data to the software application in the at least one of the sequence of steps;
• test the sequence of steps according to a path including the first end and the second end;
• report to the user, a summary including a status of the testing.
