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

Our usage was at least seven to eight months ago. We have web-based and desktop Windows applications, and automating the desktop applications was challenging. Ranorex provided the necessary keywords, especially for our shallow testing needs. We did a couple of POCs using this solution. But at the…

Powerful automation tool with a user-friendly interface, codeless automation, and adaptability to complex business processes, particularly in SAP environments

The tool itself is highly effective, especially when it comes to comprehensibility for newcomers. Even during the initial learning phase, I found it remarkably user-friendly. It facilitates quick onboarding and training of new resources. It offers features for building automation scripts, such as search and certify capture. A notable advantage is that it doesn't rely on other tools like Micro Focus UFT or Micro Focus ALM for script execution. Worksoft can run independently without the need for support from Microsoft Office, although the option to use it for maintaining data exists. The tool also includes debugging features and comprehensive reporting capabilities, generating PDF reports for easy analysis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

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

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

"Object identification is good."

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

"Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"The turn around time for getting the automation tester familiarized with the tool is very quick, as it doesn't have any coding. It is fairly simple to understand."

"The tool is easy to use. It is a drag and drop Microsoft type of solution."

"The most valuable feature is its time saving. Once development is complete, the short time that it takes to execute a test is invaluable. It saves a number of dollars and man-hours."

"The solution has cut our clients' test maintenance time for changes, like patches or system upgrades. They used to take a lot of time until the production validation completed. Now, it is just seconds until it is ready, so they can do executions within couple of minutes."

"Worksoft has helped us position our company better because the product lets us show our value in terms of the benefits that we bring."

"The Capture 2.0 feature is good. Our clients like using it. It does not take long to create documentation."

"What I found most valuable in Worksoft Certify is its identification feature. I also found its automation feature valuable."

"If we write a new test that's 80 percent the same as an existing test, it is pretty straightforward to reuse the steps from existing tests for our new tests and build upon them."

More Worksoft Certify pros

Cons

"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."

"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."

"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."

"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."

"Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls)."

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

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

"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."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"Web UI testing was difficult in the beginning, as we had a homegrown product, and we had to do the proper object naming."

"There are some other more complete tools than Worksoft Certify, such as Tricentis Tosca. It has a quicker way of taking in a customer's feedback with more efficiency. I do not see Worksoft Certify having a lot of progress over the years that we have used the tool in this area."

"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where certain improvements are required."

"The product had some UI issues."

"We would like this to be able to be used outside of SAP applications, as it would be good for other types of products."

"Reportings are not user-friendly."

"They have a scheduler in Execution Manager, but it is not customizable. Its UI needs a lot of improvement. The lights-out testing is a bit difficult with that particular tool, and it needs a lot of improvement. Of course, there are so many integration options with Worksoft for execution, but when it comes to Execution Manager, which is their own tool, there is a lot of scope for improvement."

"One feature that we have been asking for has been to treat tests as code and store the source code for tests in a configuration management tool. Right now, for version control of testing, it's all internally within the tool. If we have a test of a business process and want to revive that test, our methodology now is purely manual work. We go into the tool, create a copy of the existing test, and call the next one: v2. Now, we have two of them and the only way you can tell them apart is by its naming convention."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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)."

"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."

"On our last big SAP implementation project, we inserted an automation resource into the beginning of the project. Between automating regression processes, data staging, and using our automation to help repair cutover and conversion issues. We saved the project about $1,700,000."

"We saved $1.3 million using Worksoft Certify in 2017."

"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."

"I can only judge based on the situation that we had around six years ago when we did the tool evaluation. Worksoft was not the cheapest, but it provided the value. For 25 concurrent licenses, we paid more than €400,000, so it was not cheap. In the end, if you see how much time you are saving and compare it with others, its price is okay. We had also compared its cost with the licensing costs for HP and Tricentis, and they were at another level. Now, as we have already booked the licenses, we only have to pay an annual maintenance fee, which is 70%, and that is okay."

"The initial investment is probably a little high. It was a little hard for me to sell, but it was a one-shot deal and that's why it's so high. All we are doing now is paying annual maintenance, which we don't have to do if we don't want upgrades, but we do."

"We have seen ROI by being able to free up and give time back to the business for other value-added work."

"This solution has enabled us to automate in order to tremendously save time. Only first time when you are recording and creating the script will you spend some time with it, the rest of the time, you are just executing."

"We've saved over 80 percent in time savings."

Reviews from Real Users

Jens N., Enterprise Architect SAP Solutions at a computer software company, writes, “As compared to other tools for test automation, what is very good in this tool is the ability to implement logic into the scripts without coding and learning a complex script language. It is comparable to defining formulas in Excel. It is pretty easy to learn how to make your scripts more intelligent and more flexible as per the situation.”
