Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Ranorex Studio and Testim compete in the automated testing tools category, each catering to distinct user needs. Ranorex Studio tends to have the upper hand in pricing and customer support, while Testim shines with its advanced feature offerings.

Features: Ranorex Studio provides robust desktop testing and supports all-in-one solutions for test automation across desktop, web, and mobile platforms with codeless automation. Testim excels with AI-driven capabilities for enhanced test maintenance and scalable testing in cloud environments focusing on AI and cloud scalability.

Room for Improvement: Ranorex Studio could improve by incorporating more AI features, enhancing cloud testing capabilities, and providing better automation for non-desktop environments. Testim could benefit from reducing initial complexity, lowering subscription costs, and offering extensive offline support for varied environments.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Ranorex Studio offers traditional installation and straightforward deployment with regular customer support. Testim's cloud-based deployment allows for rapid setup but may require adjustments for teams unfamiliar with this model.

Pricing and ROI: Ranorex Studio has a higher upfront setup cost but offers a comprehensive toolset with broader ROI in extensive environments. Testim's subscription model might appear costlier initially but offers scalability and advanced features that could deliver high ROI for those seeking innovative testing solutions.

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.

A stable tool to help users take care of the implementation phases in their environment

There are a few minor areas where improvements are required, but they are not something that I can discuss at a high level. I will have to ask the team that uses Testim since they can give a better response to what requires improvement in the product. I only manage the team that uses Testim. I cannot be exactly described as an end user of the tool. There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it. There were some trial and error methods our company had to deal with while using the product's documentation, after which we were able to get through the setup phase. I want the documentation to have more information to help users with the setup process. I want the product to be more scalable in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"The solution is stable."

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

"The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance."

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

"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."

"Object identification is good."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."

"The REST API features allowed integrated testing for select products to quickly make calls and test the UIs with API calls while the CLI allows us to matrix the grid function across browsers."

"The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios."

"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."

"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."

"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."

"The automating smoke and regression tests have become easier and handier and manual efforts are saved."

"The product is easy to use."

More Testim pros

Cons

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More Ranorex Studio cons

"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."

"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."

"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."

"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."

"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."

"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."

"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."

"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."

More Testim cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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)."

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

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

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

"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."

"The solution is not expensive."

"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
