1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
executing a robotic process automation (RPA) process by one or more RPA robots;
receiving an event log of the execution, the event log including source activities and destination activities;
receiving a process model representing an expected execution of the RPA process, the process model including a plurality of nodes and one or more control regions, wherein:
reachable nodes for each respective node in the process model are nodes of the plurality of nodes connected to the respective node through one or more edges and/or one or more gateways only without being connected through any intervening activity nodes of the plurality of nodes in the process model; and
conformance of the RPA process to the process model is based on transitions from the source activities to the destination activities in the event log, the reachable nodes, and the one or more control regions; and
displaying the conformance of the RPA process to the process model on a display device.
