Workflow Analyzer

Workflow Analyzer is a static code analyzer that ensures your project meets high quality and reliability standards. When triggered, it uses the configured rule set to check the project or workflow for inconsistencies without executing the project. It logs the errors found in the Error List panel, under the rule action.

Using the Workflow Analyzer, you can:

Edit, disable, and enable rules from studio.
Run validation or validation and analysis at file or project level.
Manage errors and warnings in the error list panel.
Build custom rules using the UiPath. Activities. API package.
Integrate workflow analysis with prebuilt and/or custom rules in CI/CD pipeline configurations.

Need of Workflow Analyzer

Workflow analysis plays a central part in project development. It is a tool for making sure your projects follow best practices, thus ensuring higher quality, reliability, and readability.

It is also used to enforce governance policies using file-based governance and UiPath Automation Ops.

Managing Rules

The project or file is analyzed based on a set of rules available in the Project Settings window:

In the Project panel, click the icon, then select Workflow Analyzer.
In the ribbon, click the Analyze File button, then select Workflow Analyzer Settings from the dropdown.
