Blue Prism APD01 Exam Questions

Question 6 of 51

While automating a process involving a browser based application a popup window from the browser application appears that you need to work with. When you try to spy the popup window and its elements, Blue Prism throws the following error: "There was an error during the spying operation." Which of the following would be the most appropriate workaround?

Set the HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth Registry key to 2

Change the scope of the process so that the popup window does not need to be automated

Create a new separate object that attaches to the running instance of the popup and attempt to spy elements with this object instead.

Use Surface Automation techniques to interface with the popup window

Correct Answer: C

When automating a process involving browser-based applications and encountering issues with pop-up windows, the recommended approach is to create a new, separate object dedicated to interacting with the popup. This object can be configured to attach to the running instance of the popup and can provide an alternative method for spying elements, which can help resolve any errors encountered during the regular spying operation. This approach allows the automation to handle pop-ups more effectively and ensures that the process can continue smoothly.

Question 7 of 51

Which of the following is a recommend tip for dealing with problems when launching and attaching to Browser Applications?

Use the Start Process action of the Utility - Environment Object to launch the application followed by an attach stage to attach to the application

Hold the target URL in a data item as opposed to it being configured in the Application Modeller Wizard

Set the HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth Registry key to 2

Use Surface Automation to automate the application

Correct Answer: B

Holding the target URL in a data item as opposed to it being configured in the Application Modeller Wizard is a recommended tip for dealing with problems when launching and attaching to browser applications. This approach allows for easier changes to the URL without the need to modify the application model each time, thereby enhancing flexibility and reducing potential issues during automation.

Question 8 of 51

An action within an object has been written that automates a browser based application. All elements can be spied successfully and the object runs without defect in Object Studio. However, when ran in Control Room, exceptions are thrown that indicate elements cannot be found. This is because elements on the web page do not load all at once, they load slowly one after another instead. Which of the following would be the most appropriate to improve the resilience of the automation?

Use a Wait Stage with the Check Exists condition at the start of the action before continuing.

Use a Wait Stage with the Parent Document Loaded condition at the start of the action.

Use a Wait Stage with the Document Loaded condition at the start of the action.

Do not spy elements with HTML mode

Correct Answer: A

The most appropriate method to handle elements that do not load all at once and to improve the resilience of the automation is to use a Wait Stage with the Check Exists condition at the start of the action before continuing. This approach ensures that each element is present before attempting to interact with it, thereby preventing the exceptions caused by elements not being found.

Question 9 of 51

While trying to read a table in a browser based application into a collection an error message appears and the table cannot be read directly into the collection. This happens when using either AA or HTML mode. Which of the following would be the most appropriate workaround?

Spy one cell in the table using HTML mode and make the Path attribute dynamic. Use this dynamic element to read the required cells one be one into a collection.

Use Surface Automation techniques such as OCR to read the table

Set the HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth Registry key to 2

Use the Read HTML action in conjunction with regular expressions to read the table.

Correct Answer: A

When a browser-based application's table cannot be read directly into a collection using either AA or HTML mode, the most efficient workaround would be to spy one cell in the table using HTML mode and make the Path attribute dynamic. Using this dynamic element allows for the required cells to be read one by one into a collection. This method does not rely on slower or less reliable techniques such as OCR and is more appropriate for handling HTML data directly in a structured and dynamic manner.

Question 10 of 51

Which of the following statements, about interfacing with browser applications are true? (Choose three.)

To read or write to an HTML element, the element does not have to actually be visible on the screen. As long as the element exists on the currently loaded page reading or writing to it will work.

Having the Parent URL attribute checked will result in a faster, more reliable identification of an element

Elements within a Web Application can be spied using Active Accessibility mode

Win32 mode can be used to identify the Internet Explorer Window

HTML spy mode can be used to identify HTML elements in any browser application

Correct Answer: A, D, E

To interact with elements in a web application, the element does not need to be visible on the screen as long as it exists on the currently loaded page, making interaction possible. Win32 mode can be used to identify the Internet Explorer window specifically, ensuring accurate recognition of the browser window. HTML spy mode can be used to identify HTML elements in major browser applications like Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox, and Chrome, but not all browser applications.
