Luc Vangrunderbeeck - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Test Engineer at Infrabel
Testing solution supports Java testing with good reliability
There is nothing you can do for almost every application. If you do it for a single version, it is rather easy. However, if you want to run it for different versions of the software, then you need the Qt version of Java. You need to set up some special environment variables to be able to do that.
Aws V - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco
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

"It supports many platforms, which helps in getting automation solutions for most of the complex UI products."
"I can perform Java SWT."
"This product can work with QT applications and cross-cut from them, both on Windows OS and on Mac, as well as on mobile operating systems like iOS and Android too."
"Now we have completely automated the Squish runs using CI tools and Squish is not at all getting stuck or creating any problem."
"This product can work with QT applications and cross-cut from them on Windows or Mac."
"Our previous, haphazard approach to testing was not effective, and using Squish has led us into an organized mode of testing."
"Customer support was good; they work out of the box and are willing to add a new feature if we say and if it is feasible."
"Squish is integrated with Qt, which enables us to test the user interface effectively."
"The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining, and you don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance."
"Dynamically changing application or a desktop application which is challenging to automate, blindly go for Ranorex."
"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."
"Ranorex improved our ui automation by providing handy features such as WaitForExists, Exists, Enabled, Visible"
"Object identification is good."
"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."
"I implemented this tool for several of my customers and I can see the ROI right away."
"We went with Ranorex due to its relative ease of use, and its support for automating desktop/WPF applications out of the box."
 

Cons

"I like it how it is, but it's not cheap."
"Sometimes, I had problems, but their support team resolved almost of them in short time."
"It still requires better solutions for object identification and an enhancement to identify all the objects of the AUT before building the object map."
"Robotics automation could be added with Squish."
"We encountered issues with the embedded environment and building for the Qt version."
"We have faced some difficulties in identifying canvas objects initially."
"The most complete way of testing is on several OS's, even platforms. Here, the solution provided by Squish, through several Python script files, could be simplified in such a way, so that even black box testers could manage it easily."
"ID could be improved with suggestions of names, variables or class."
"It's the biggest drawback of Ranorex that it's limited to one operating system."
"While the product does well with its primary job of testing, when we are using Ranorex it would be nice if it would report directly in HTML."
"There was one instance where I had an issue and contacted them for a solution; they were unable to provide it, and I ended up finding a workaround on my own."
"I think it still needs to improve a lot."
"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."
"Need support for other operating systems like Mac and Linux, and not just Windows."
"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."
"Snapshots for WPF applications taking too long than expected."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is highly-priced."
"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."
"It is expensive."
"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"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."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"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)."
