Abstract
Screen response validation of robot execution for robotic process automation (RPA) is disclosed. Whether text, screen changes, images, and/or other expected visual actions occur in an application executing on a computing system that an RPA robot is interacting with may be recognized. Where the robot has been typing may be determined and the physical position on the screen based on the current resolution of where one or more characters, images, windows, etc. appeared may be provided. The physical position of these elements, or the lack thereof, may allow determination of which field(s) the robot is typing in and what the associated application is for the purpose of validation that the application and computing system are responding as intended. When the expected screen changes do not occur, the robot can stop and throw an exception, go back and attempt the intended interaction again, restart the workflow, or take another suitable action.
