Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Ranorex Studio and Eggplant Test compete in automation testing. While both offer strong features, Ranorex Studio has an upper hand due to its superior code control and customization with C#, appealing to more technical users.

Features: Ranorex Studio offers C# code control, an easy test recording and execution interface, and comprehensive element recognition. It also benefits from robust support forums and cross-platform capabilities. Eggplant Test provides strong OCR technology, AI-driven automation, and image recognition, enhancing versatility across various platforms.

Room for Improvement: Ranorex Studio needs to improve support for non-Windows systems, enhance coding interface flexibility, and strengthen compatibility with non-.NET applications. Eggplant Test could improve in user-friendliness, integration with external tools, and expand support for more programming languages.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Ranorex Studio supports on-premises deployment with reliable customer support praised for responsiveness. It encourages community support benefits. Eggplant Test offers both on-premises and cloud deployment, providing similar customer service levels but faces licensing complexities.

Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability

There was no free trial in it. So, I studied it through a page that tells how it works. It will be good if a free trial is provided for users. Moreover, I would like to give some feedback on the installation process. There are other tools that are much easier to install and get started with. Eggplant could improve its installation process.

Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet

There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."

"Good text reading ability."

"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."

"Eggplant Test is valuable due to its OCR technology, which is independent of underlying technologies and can identify applications based on labels such as 'username' and 'password'."

"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."

"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."

"The solution is a stable one."

"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."

More Eggplant Test pros

"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."

"Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."

"The solution is stable."

"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."

"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

More Ranorex Studio pros

Cons

"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."

"It has low productivity."

"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."

"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."

"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."

"Its performance and stability could be better."

"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."

"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."

More Eggplant Test cons

"Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better)."

"When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."

"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."

"Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."

"When Ranorex is upgraded, the compatibility with other projects, in version control, in-house or on-premise, fails on occasion. However, overall, the stability is good."

"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."

"Part of the challenge is that Ranorex's support is over in Europe, so we can't get responses on the same day. If we had support in the United States that was a bit more timely, that would be helpful."

"For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."

More Ranorex Studio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."

"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."

"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."

"It probably has a yearly license."

"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."

"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
