Introduction
Image automation is the process of automating tasks by using images as inputs
and developing robots to execute the automation process. It is particularly valuable
in Citrix automation due to the challenges presented by virtualized environments
and remote desktops.
Benefits of image automation
1. Universal Automation: Image automation can be applied to virtually any application
or system since it operates based on visual recognition. This makes it versatile for
automating legacy systems, virtual environments, or custom-built applications.
2. Accuracy: Image automation is highly accurate when set up correctly, as it
relies on visual cues. This can reduce errors in tasks like data entry or interacting with
complex user interfaces.
3. Robustness: It can handle changes in the target application's layout or appearance,
making it robust even in dynamic environments where UI elements change frequently.
Use Cases of Image Automation
1. Citrix Automation: Image automation is especially useful for automating processes
within Citrix environments, where traditional automation methods may not work efficiently
due to the virtualized nature of the environment.
2. Automation of Virtual Desktops: In scenarios where users work on virtual desktops or
remote machines, image automation enables seamless automation of tasks within those
environments.
3. Robotic Process Automation (RPA): Image automation is a key component of Robility,
allowing robots to interact with any application, regardless of the underlying technology.
4. Automation of Web Applications: For web applications with dynamic elements, image
automation can automate interactions and data extraction accurately.
5. Data Validation: Image automation can validate data by cross-referencing it with visual
cues or predefined patterns.
