Summary: Scott Robohn explores how UiPath Test Cloud mitigates the “release gap” caused by rapid, AI-driven development by offering a platform that blends a combination of deterministic automation, AI agents, and human oversight. By distinguishing between deterministic “robots” for efficient, cost-effective regression and flexible “agents” for complex reasoning, the platform empowers quality engineers to use agentic reasoning selectively while managing AI-related consumption and cost. Drawing on his network engineering background, Scott advocates for adopting these software testing principles to build greater resilience and adaptability within NetDevOps and broader IT infrastructure domains. Intro I had the pleasure of serving as a delegate for the UiPath Test Cloud Tech Field Day Showcase. I’ve heard a lot about UiPath from my consulting clients and in the market over the last few years, so I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of the delegate panel and hear directly from UiPath. Now, let me be clear about something important up front: UiPath is not presenting itself as a NetOps tool for network device config testing or network automation script testing. I say this because you may know me from my consulting work in networking, network automation, and conferences and events that all focus on network infrastructure. Over the last few years, coming from a “trad” network engineer and architect perspective, I’ve reached the conclusion that network operations and engineering is downstream from software engineering and deployment. DevOps principles make a lot of sense when …
