Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."
"Object identification is good."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization."
"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."
"The solution is stable."
"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."
"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."
"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 object detection functionality needs to be improved."
"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."
"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."
"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."
