Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Ranorex Studio and Eggplant Test compete in automation testing. While both offer strong features, Ranorex Studio has an upper hand due to its superior code control and customization with C#, appealing to more technical users.

Features: Ranorex Studio offers C# code control, an easy test recording and execution interface, and comprehensive element recognition. It also benefits from robust support forums and cross-platform capabilities. Eggplant Test provides strong OCR technology, AI-driven automation, and image recognition, enhancing versatility across various platforms.

Room for Improvement: Ranorex Studio needs to improve support for non-Windows systems, enhance coding interface flexibility, and strengthen compatibility with non-.NET applications. Eggplant Test could improve in user-friendliness, integration with external tools, and expand support for more programming languages.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Ranorex Studio supports on-premises deployment with reliable customer support praised for responsiveness. It encourages community support benefits. Eggplant Test offers both on-premises and cloud deployment, providing similar customer service levels but faces licensing complexities.

Pricing and ROI: Ranorex Studio is considered expensive, utilizing a licensing model that offers flexibility and good ROI by reducing manual regression efforts. Eggplant Test is more expensive, targeting larger enterprises with its robust features. Its ROI is enhanced through saving manual testing hours and flexible licensing. Some users appreciate Eggplant’s support-inclusive pricing model.

Has required frequent manual adjustments due to screen resolution but supports simple automation with minimal effort

I would prefer more UFT because it has VB scripting capabilities. While Eggplant Test also has this feature, it's not very user-friendly. I prefer the features of UFT compared to Eggplant Test. When needing to do quick automation, I would prefer Eggplant Test, but otherwise, I would always choose UFT. It depends on the complexity of the tasks. For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective. With Eggplant Test, if you have very low complexity automation, such as simple click sequences and validation, then it would be preferable; with more complexity, I would not recommend Eggplant Test.

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

"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."

"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."

"The best feature of Eggplant Test is that it's very easy to use; you just capture those pictures of the objects in your application and it's easy to automate."

"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."

"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."

"It provides very strong cross-platform support."

"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."

More Eggplant Test pros

"The solution is stable."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

More Ranorex Studio pros

Cons

"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."

"The solution would crash from time to time."

"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."

"Its performance and stability could be better."

"The execution times are a little slower, and the two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture."

"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."

"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."

"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."

More Eggplant Test cons

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

More Ranorex Studio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It probably has a yearly license."

"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."

"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."

"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."

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

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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)."

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

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

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