Ranorex Studio Reviews

A non-technical person can record a test and execute the same. But, a technical person is required to write code module and test data.

As per my knowledge, we don't have a (Free) robust tool for functional and GUI testing in desktop application testing field. This is way better than QTP and Silktest when compared to in following aspects:

User friendly UI

Cost of Tool

Continuous Integration

Instant release of updated add-on as per latest technologies and browsers.

Full fledged trial product for exact 30 days.

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

• It offers many features of recognizing UI widgets, making test automation easy. 
• The spy feature is useful in updating the control address of modified UI widgets.

It's reduced the manual effort in verifying the user interface of the product under test.

There were some issues when the UI widget being tested was not developed in .NET, and the test resulted in some unknown actions when played back.

I used it for a period of two months.

Stability was an issue.

I did not get to interact with the customer service.

No previous solution was used.

It was straightforward.

We used an in-house team.

I believe ROI is pretty high, although I am not involved with the management of the product.

No other options were evaluated.

My advice is to spend some time reading the user guide and interacting with teammates who have already used the tool so that things become straightforward when you use it. It is a good tool to perform user interface testing over a .NET product.

Started with recording and playback and data-driven, later on we used the API with code module.

It's easy to use the test suite and add test cases to do our product bug fixes, and software pre-release regression tests, and continuous Integration testing with Jenkins CI tool for each software build test.

It needs a more robust capture & replay, and the GUI object recognition needs improvement too. Mobile device testing should not only bbe limited to phones and tablets, I would like to see if it can support user devices such as printers like Ricoh, Xerox, and Konica and their emulators.

I've used it for around three years.

So far so good.

We tried QTP many years ago, which was good but expensive. Also, Selenium is limited to browser and mobile, and does not support desktop app.

It very straightforward. So good, and easy.

The license types can be confusing.

In my company, the project is a desktop application. We are using Ranorex to record the test cases.

It has reduced the cost of production and operations. It has reduced the cost of QA in my company and reduced the human resources needed. And the tool is very easy to use.

Regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process.

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

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

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.

Scalability with Ranorex is a problem. The way to scale is to buy more licenses.

The support for Ranorex is very good and fast. User requests are answered quickly.

We knew we needed a new solution because testing was only executed manually. A better approach for the team was to automate testing to reduce costs.

When selecting a vendor, the most important criteria are support, providing a trial version for testing the tool, and the functionality the tool offers.

The setup is easy.

HPE, and Selenium WebDriver, which is open-source. We went with Ranorex because of compliance and the company's requirements.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10 because of the expense of licenses and lack of simultaneous execution. It's limited to only one machine or computer.

My advice is to compare solutions. Two years ago there were very different options in the market. Compare Katalon Studios with Ranorex.

Spy for X-path and data binding help us to loop or iterate some functions for any module an N-number of times.

It's improved our company in a numbers of ways, but most importantly it helps us save time and the report preparation is nice and easy.

I've used it for two years and three months.

With the new version of Chrome, some objects are identified differently, so we need to identify those and fix the x-path of the object.

It's very good as I have interacted a lot with a number of people (especially Bassem and Bernhard) when faced with the object identification, and they were able to help me.

8/10

We switched because the older solution did not support Chrome.

It was simple.

We can invest depending on the requirements of the business. Run-time licenses can be used if you don't need to develop scripts, floating-type license, or node-lock license.

It allows users to insert code.

Using the "User Defined" functions has helped me a lot in testing my applications in different ways.

SQL Connector has a lot of improvements to make, and they need to implement user-defined queries. 

Also, the invoke function doesn't work as it should to select the items down in the scroll tab.

We've used it for one year.

No issues encountered.

I've never had a chance to interact with the service provider.

I would rate it average -- neither straightforward nor complex.

Overall, it's a good product.

The product is a bit expensive, especially the licenses which should be cheaper.

We also looked at Coded UI.
