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

"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."

"Helps us to reduce the workload to check the system."

"Implementation of Oracle Application Testing Suite package has increased the overall efficiency."

"This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"For a few years, OATS was the only tool that allowed us to load test our Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) with Siebel."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

"My advice for anybody who is considering Ranorex is that it is a powerful tool, it is far-reaching, and it works as advertised."

"Ranorex improved our ui automation by providing handy features such as WaitForExists, Exists, Enabled, Visible"

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

"Not only is Ranorex's solution one of the most powerful and easy to use, it has one of the lowest cost entry points resulting in a quicker ROI."

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

"We have automated 15+ internal applications for our client, which reduced much manual effort on regression testing."

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

"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."

Cons

"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."

"Room for improvement would be for the reporting features. If they could improve the dashboards, that would be helpful."

"There are certain bugs which were present but was cleared in subsequent releases of application, but still there is room for improvement in the Functionality testing tool when automating form-based applications."

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

"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."

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

"Transaction handling was very simple and I’d say quite primitive."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

"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."

"Need support for other operating systems like Mac and Linux, and not just Windows."

"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."

"They need to improve their support of different web browsers along with Flash support."

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

"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."

"Any minor change to a repository can result in a version control system nightmare, making it more difficult when working in teams."

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

More Ranorex Studio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

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

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

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

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

"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)."
