What is a Web Service?



Def1: Simply a Web Service is a method of communication (REQUEST + RESPONSE) between two electronic devices/machines over a network. Web services are self-contained applications that can run across the Internet on a variety of platforms.
Def2: A web service is a way of calling a function which is inside a software from some other software
Def 3: Web Services is a way to establish communication between software’s which could be running on different machines (different platforms or operating systems), having been developed using different languages e.g. java, .net, c++ etc.

Why we use Web Services?

·         Web Services can implement in a SOA structure
·         Web service is used to communicate 2 machines irrespective of their language support (i.e. machine1 supports Java and machine2 supports Dot Net) – Language Independent
·         It is a platform independent (A cross-platform, cross-language data model, facilitates the development of heterogeneous distributed applications)
·         It provides re-usability of functions/code (Reusing functionality of already developed (old) systems in new software’s)
·         Accessibility of applications through firewalls using Web Protocols(XML/HTTP) for Interoperability
·         It supports ‘Loosely Coupled systems’ (i.e. loose coupling (or loosely coupled) is a type of coupling that describes how multiple computer systems, even those using incompatible technologies, can be joined together for transactions, regardless of hardware, software and other functional components)

Brief Overview of RPA

Brief Overview of RPA:     §   In short, it’s a way for machines to replace human workers in regular activities done across the organization.     §   It works on both Front End & Back End applications/operations.     §   BOT provides Virtual automation agents , it acts like MIMIC HUMANS .     §   BOT ’s available in Clouds/Servers     §   BOT is nothing but a configurable software set up, works only on rule-based triggers     §   It automates Non-Value –added works     §   It is a Sub Domain of BPMS (Business Process Management Software)

RPA Life Cycle

RPA Life Cycle: It is similar to software development life cycle with some minor changes. Technically, we called it as ‘ Life Cycle of a Bot’   Analysis:           ·     RPA Cycle begins from ‘ Analysis ’ phase.           ·     In this, Business Team & RPA Strategist/Architect identifies business process to automate           ·     After finalizing feasibility on process, implement plan of work (which includes documentation, Resources count & Time  ...) Development:          ·       Dev. Team starts working on requirements wrt to Environment.          ·       We called this phase as ‘ Bot Development ’          ·       Based on Tool selection , Limited/No coding is required ...
