  In this paper, we explore the usability of a custom eXtensible Robotic
Language (XRL) we proposed. To evaluate the user experience and the interaction
with the potential XRL-based software robot, we conducted an exploratory study
comparing the notation of three business processes using our XRL language and
two languages used by the leading RPA solutions. The results of our exploratory
study show that the currently used XML-based formats perform worse in terms of
conciseness and readability. Our new XRL language is promising in terms of
increasing the readability of the language, thus reducing the time needed to
automate business processes.
