Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Oracle Application Testing Suite and Ranorex Studio compete in the software testing automation category. Oracle has the upper hand for Oracle-specific projects, whereas Ranorex excels in cross-platform testing.

Features: Oracle Application Testing Suite provides a comprehensive package for automation, functional testing, performance testing, and load testing, especially effective within the Oracle ecosystem. Ranorex Studio offers strong support for cross-browser and cross-platform testing including mobile and desktop applications, Ranorex Spy, and robust code integration.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Application Testing Suite could enhance object identification, browser compatibility, and support for non-Oracle applications. Ranorex Studio could improve object recognition consistency, support additional operating systems like Mac and Linux, and enhance parallel execution capabilities and API documentation.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Application Testing Suite can be deployed on-premises or as a hybrid cloud solution with strong support within the Oracle ecosystem. Users find Oracle’s technical support responsive but occasionally delayed. Ranorex Studio is mainly deployed on-premises or via public cloud, facing challenges due to its Windows-only support. Its customer service is generally well-regarded but less specialized than Oracle's.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle Application Testing Suite is seen as affordable, especially for Oracle customers, offering favorable ROI and flexible licensing. Ranorex Studio, while potentially more expensive, justifies its pricing with a robust feature set and multi-platform compatibility, offering node-locked and floating licenses.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

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

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

"The solution is scalable."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

"The function test feature is valuable."

"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."

"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."

"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

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

"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."

"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."

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

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."

"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."

More Ranorex Studio pros

Cons

"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

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

"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."

"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 solution's technical support team could be responsive."

"If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it."

"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."

"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."

"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."

More Ranorex Studio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

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

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

"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)."
