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.

Smart locators and small learning curve streamline test automation, minimizing maintenance and boosting efficiency.

Testim has a specific feature called a smart locator. Anyone experienced in test automation knows this is one of the most complex parts of developing automated scripts. The Testim feature automatically finds the locators, which helps us build stable test scripts. Stable scripts are crucial for receiving faster and more reliable feedback. I have also seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Object identification is good."

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

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

"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."

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

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

More Ranorex Studio pros

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

"The product is easy to use."

"It is a highly stable solution."

"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."

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

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

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

More Testim pros

Cons

"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 automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

More Ranorex Studio cons

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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 product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."

More Testim cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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."

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

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

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

"The solution is not expensive."
