A standard UiPath design document includes the following sections:
Introduction:
Brief overview and purpose of the automation.
Process Overview:
Summary of the main steps in the process.
Requirements:
Detailed functional and non-functional requirements.
Process Flow:
Step-by-step breakdown of the process, often using flowcharts.
Data Flow:
Explanation of how data moves through the process.
Exception Handling:
Identification and handling of potential errors.
Technical Specifications:
Details on UiPath components used and integrations.
Testing Plan:
Approach and scenarios for testing the automation.
Deployment Plan:
Steps for deploying the automation to different environments.
Operational Runbook:
Instructions for operating and maintaining the automation.
It’s common to use a combination of flow diagrams and descriptive text to convey the details effectively. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding for all stakeholders involved in the automation process.
