What is the Fix the RPA Bot Breakage That course about?

Every week, a bot passes QA only to fail during deployment due to environment mismatches, credential issues, or unhandled exceptions. You end up manually patching logs, rewriting error handling, and rescheduling releases. This rework kills momentum and makes automation feel unreliable.

Before vs. after

Before
Bots pass testing but fail during deployment due to environment mismatches, credential issues, or unhandled exceptions, leading to rework and delayed releases.
After
Bots deploy successfully first time, run reliably, and require minimal intervention, freeing you to build new automations instead of fixing old ones.
