Ranorex Studio Reviews

Ranorex Spy is the most valuable feature for us, as it provides functionalities for analysis of host or web applications, as well as information for test automation.

We are using Robot Framework for test automation. We have our own Python library that uses the Ranorex API.

I've used it for seven months.

We didn't have any issues with deployment.

There have been no stability issues.

It's scaled just fine for us.

I haven't had to use technical support yet.

This is the only product I've used in my current role.

The initial setup was completely straightforward.

It is reliable and fast. I've had no problems in the seven months I have used it.

UI Automation for web and desktop applications is a valuable feature. 

Also, the Studio tool is so easy to use and manage Ranorex projects.

Using this product, we have been able create and manage UI automation in the best possible way. It has helped us to improve our product's UI quality.

They need to improve their support of different web browsers along with Flash support. Also very important (at least to our team), Ranorex should provide Python support. Currently they only support C# and VB

I've been using it for five years.

We need some tricks on instrumenting flex based web applications.

It was straightforward. You install the .exe and you are done. 

We installed and did the set-up in-house.

It’s good that Ranorex has not changed to floating runtime licenses. This means that users can have flexibility for the managing of their test environments, and get the best return on their investment of license.

We evaluated Selenium and HP Quality Center. We found Ranorex very helpful in supporting both web and desktop based application. It’s very easy to use.

It's excellent for desktop based applications (win forms), and the best for web based applications, with some instrumentation tricks on Flex/Flash based applications.

The most useful features to me are the ability to write test scripts in C#, and also record/playback any and all test steps. Ranorex Spy is also a very useful tool.

Ranorex has significantly cut down the time it takes me to run through multiple, repetitive test steps.

They should have support for other OS’s, aside from only supporting Windows. It would also be great if they supported JavaScript as a usable language to write code modules in.

I’ve been using Ranorex for about five to six months.

Ranorex’s customer service is outstanding.

When something is out, I immediately email their tech support and will usually hear back from them within an hour. The forums are also very helpful.

Setting up Ranorex and jumping into your first test suite is extremely easy, even for non-programmers The record/playback feature makes it easy for anyone to automate a test case..

The best advice I can give is geared towards implementation. If you’re capable of writing your own test scripts, then I wouldn’t suggest using the Record/Playback feature at all, aside from maybe looking at the generated code module for help on starting a new test case. There are a lot more constraints that come with using the record/playback method, and you cannot easily implement conditional statements or parameters, like you would be able to in the code modules.

Cross browser testing and the ability to perform mobile test automation. Due to this, you do not need to buy two different solutions for mobile and web channels separately.

Our core banking application is developed as a plugin of Chrome. Most of the automation tools do not work properly on Chrome, but Ranorex provides this with less maintenance costs. Also, the automation platform is useful for us.

I encountered a problem during div element recognition. This point could be enhanced.

I've used it for three years.

I had experience on QTP and RFT. They do not support the latest version of browsers or mobile environments. Their costs are high, accordingly.

It was simple.

We implemented it in-house.

It is simple and stable solution.

Live tracking along with capturing the RX path of objects, and cross browser testing is the most valuable feature of this product. Also, its seamless integration with any test management tool is the best feature.

In total, the test execution times of the test automation projects were significantly improved. In conjunction with a new test case design, ease of use, the functionality of the software and C# as the standard programming language, new test cases can be implemented more effectively than with the older software.

The results up to now indicate that much less time is needed for execution with Ranorex robust tests compared to the previously used automation tool

Object recognition of Outlook add-ins instead of raw text recognition could be better. Ranorex should also provide features for Windows Mobile automation.

I have been using this tool for the last two years, and I love the way that they have frequent updates that provide new features and support for the latest technology.

8/10.

Ranorex has provided on-line training for my company, particularly for test automation, so 8/10.

I've seen and used many different test automation solutions like HpP QTP. Not only is Ranorex's solution one of the most powerful and easy to use, it has one of the lowest cost entry points resulting in a quicker ROI.

Also, their end user support and communication has been second to none. C# language support is an added advantage of that.

It was very straightforward, just click on the EXE file and it will do the rest automatically.

The initial set-up was quiet simple, and there was no need for any external help.

We found that the tool could also be used in reproducing defects and automating user cases, which were very hard to do manually.

Ranorex doesn't provide automation for Windows Mobile, and lacks some of the basic functions like table comparison etc. Although one can achieve this through C# or VB.net, it would be better if it provides the UI comparison. However, Ranorex uses power of C# to built a highly competitive Automation tool.

You should go for it and it will not let you down.

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.

Need few upgrades to automate desktop applications

• Snapshots for WPF applications taking too long than expected.

I've used it for three years.

A few times with Android and iOS devices, but Ranorex support resolved quickly.

A few times without proper scripting skills the build will be always unstable.

A few times with Android and iOS devices, but Ranorex support resolved quickly.

Ranorex support team is really supportive and resolve issues as soon as possible.

Easy installations no hiccoughs.

The ROI is being able to automate the web, mobile, and desktop applications.

We're really satisfied with the pricing as well and buying licenses is easy. If you have a large automation team try floating license and runtime license which is cheaper than premium license.

We tried using HP QTP and Selenium, but opted for Ranorex because of its reasonable price and the ease of use of the automation tool.

Go through the user guide and update your library files for your mobile automation process.
