Abstract

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platforms target the automation of repetitive tasks belonging to business processes, performed by human users. Web automation is a part of RPA that deals with the automation of web applications. In our previous work, we introduced a web automation tool in the form of a browser plugin that is able to discover simple processes on a target business web application and is able to later execute these simple processes automatically without human intervention. Our web automation tool relies on a description of the data model used by the target web application. This data model must be manually specified by the human user in advance. In our current work, we propose a new method for discovering this data model automatically from the target web application itself. We also performed some experiments in the paper that show that our method is viable.
