Skills for testing

Skills available in Delegate for testing workflows, delivered through the Test Cloud plugin and connecting Delegate to UiPath Test Manager.

Skills for testing​

The skills are delivered via the Test Cloud plugin, which is enabled by default when the QA/Testing persona is configured.

What does the Test Cloud plugin consist of?​

The UiPath Test Cloud plugin is a testing automation skill bundle that connects Delegate to UiPath Test Manager, the web application that manages the full testing lifecycle for UiPath projects.

Core capabilities​
CapabilityOperation
Discover test casesFinds test cases by name, key, or assignment within a Test Manager project
Execute test casesRuns individual test cases or entire test sets step-by-step, capturing traces
Publish resultsPushes execution results, logs, and assertions back to Test Manager
Email reportsSends execution summaries, failed test lists, or status reports via email
Publish-only modePushes pre-existing test results to Test Manager without re-executing the test case

How do I trigger the skills specific to Delegate for Testing?​

The skills are triggered when users enter a prompt in natural language, in the following contexts.

  • Users want to create, generate, build, or export a test report or test result summary.
  • Users mention 'test report', 'execution report', 'test results', or 'test summary'.
  • Users want to share test results with stakeholders.
  • Users want to link an existing automation to a Test Manager test case.
  • Users want to execute a manual test case through Test Manager.
  • User asks about test coverage, regression analysis, pass/fail summaries, or go/no-go decisions based on test results.
  • User mentions test personas like tester, QA engineer, or release manager.

Trigger the testing skills when saying things like:

  • "Run test case X"
  • "Execute the login flow test"
  • "Execute test cases assigned to me from execution Y"
  • "Publish test results to TestManager"
  • "Email me the test execution report"

What skills are available in Delegate for Testing?​

For the current release, the Test Cloud plugin ships with 1 skill, uipath-testcloud, built around 3 main capabilities. Users can also create their own additional skills for other testing purposes, such as usability testing, security testing, performance testing, or accessibility testing. To build a custom skill, use the skill-creator workflow in Delegate. Custom skills can be tailored to your team's specific testing processes and used alongside the built-in Test Cloud capabilities.

Goal

Link an existing Orchestrator automation to any Test Manager test case.

Key workflow steps

  • Authenticates via uip login status behind the scenes.
  • Discovers the test case and reads its steps.
  • Links the specified Orchestrator automation to the test case in Test Manager.

Sample prompts

  • "Link the LoginFlow automation to test case 'Login – valid credentials' in project MYAPP."
  • "Hello Delegate, I have an existing automation for the checkout flow — can you link it to the matching test case?"
Capability 2: Generate test reports​

Goal

Generate persona-tailored, shareable reports from Test Manager execution data.

Key workflow steps

  • Fetches test executions from the test set (filterable by status, type, date interval).
  • Asks the user: "Who is this report for?"
  • Tailors the answer based on the persona: QA Engineer, Release Manager, Developer.
  • Generates reports with the following information: execution status, test case log counts (passed/failed/restricted/none), top failing test cases.
  • Saves report as test-report-release-YYYY-MM-DD.md; optionally email it.

Sample prompts

  • "Generate a test report for TestSet1. Then, send the report to [email_address]."
  • "Hello Delegate, I need to provide leadership with an update of our release readiness for the latest version of UiBank."
Capability 3: Execute manual tests​

Goal

Autonomously execute a manual test case on the desktop and publish results back to Test Manager.

Key workflow steps

  • Retrieves assigned test cases which have the Pending status.
  • Fetches test steps and executes each step using the UiAutomation (computer use) tool.
  • Records pass/fail per step and publishes results back to Test Manager.
  • Records per-step execution artefacts linked to the test case; each step is checkpointed and the trace is finalized before publishing.
  • Internally tags each published test case log to distinguish AI-executed runs from human-executed ones.
  • Offers to email the results report on completion.

Best for large SAP migration programmes where hundreds of one-off tests do not justify full automation investment.

Sample prompts

  • "Execute the manual steps in [object]. Notify me when the results can be checked in Test Manager."
  • "Hello Delegate, I have to execute the tests from my SAP Smoke Test Set. Can you help me with that?"

Capability 3 relies on the uip Command Line Interface (CLI) to communicate with Test Manager.
