Ranorex Studio Reviews

1 Easy to use. Even a manual tester can understand it very easily
2 Scripting is fast and maintenance effort for scripting is minimal
3 With one tool you can automate Web, Desktop, Mobile Apps, API
4 Provide multiple type format
5 Customer support is awesome

It requires active desktop to execute the scripts. You cann't run the scripts in headless mode. When scripts are executing you cann't work on your system

Ranorex can be used to effectively create automated tests for desktop, web and mobile apps. The Ranorex tool is user-friendly and their customer support team is most helpful and responsive. Using Ranorex, tests cases can be split into reusable and easily maintained modules improving the efficiency of the software testing project.

Tracking and Recording systems are really helpful

Repository items change xpath on its own in some systems. Shell32 code is not working.

Ranorex does exactly what I need it to do. Having c# as the programming language has made it possible for us to integrate Ranorex with our own test automation framework. I have successfully used Ranorex to primarily test Qt, WPF, and Html. Ranorex Magic Merger for git has been superb. Saved me a lot of time trying to merge large XML files.

Lack of support for newer versions of c#

Simplicity and Ease to use are the most important feature. Beside this, finding element through RenorexSpy is an excellent tool.

The mobile automation setup is a complex process, specially for ios. Instrumentation takes lot of time.

New features are keep on added based on the technology growth also I see whenever I feel issues with identifying the issues the support agents resolve the issue coming live with me and finish/rectify my doubts and issues. I am existing user with QTP, But after Ranorex.. I fell in in love towards with Bravo Team .. Looking further more in future..

One hard thing is ,Horizontal scrolling of mouse capturing is still a problem with mine lets hope it finishes soon it a Telerik control window.. that's may be the issue.

It was very simple to learn and use, and I have barely scratched the surface as far as what it can do.

I am not sure at this time, everything that I have been unsure of I have talked to tech support and they have come up with a solution for me.

The product generally has a simple to use interface to automate tasks linked to a product - we used it with an iOS mobile software, and it linked up easily on a mobile device, found the object identifiers quickly, and was able to integrate directly into our testing process. It did save us time and found regression issues on multiple occasions without us having to manually test and maybe miss the issues.

It is a bit pricey, but because it doesn't require detailed programming skills, necessarily (though you can enhance it with your own code), it is worth it to us.

1. Repository screenshots
2. Single tool works for mobile, web and desktop app

1. Community support is less.
2. Speed of execution is slow in case of coding part

Minimum Skills required
Supports Web, Mobile and Desktop

Required License
Supports only Windows Environment

This product provides feature to test Mobile, desktop and web which makes it easier to Automate and same script can be used across applications.

Supported language is what i hate, they focus on C# and .Net which is hard to find skill as majority of other tool focus on Java.

Use Rxpaths : You can use variables and make your test robust

Need some software development background to do complicated tasks.

The ease of test creation and maintenance. With the Ranorex element repository you can have a maintainable, tree that can be referenced over and over again. When something changes you fix in one place, not everywhere.

Wish it was cheaper, like if they broke it up into packages. My team only uses Ranorex Win32/WPF applications so we are paying for a lot of features that we don't need.

its nice for compiling the tool and run it in remote system against other tool which needs some agent to be installed.

Tool is bit complex when compared to Test complete .

The time it saves us on repetitive manual testing tasks.

The time it took to set up the repository; however, once it was set up it saved us more time.

Web object recognition and .NET capabilities the most.
Also, the flexibility of creating test cases.

Continues bugs improvements, but sometimes it is really better to receive a patch for improving small detail that affects my application instead of going to the newest version....efffort and time a lot .....

For a first time user of any automation software, I found it easy to learn the basics of Ranorex on my own. With a little digging and trial and error, it was easy to figure out the harder things as well. Also, they offer wonderful free webinars that are extremely helpful as well.

I really don't have anything to compare it to, so no cons here.

I love how there are so many features available in ranorex. Depending on the test your performing, ranorex is able to be modified in such a way to suffice what you need.

The software is wonderful, but I wish there was a one one teaching session with one of the ranorex agents to learn some more new features.

It is so easy to just pick up the tool and start automating even if you're not an automation person.

It doesn't have API testing and this means we can't leverage it for any applications with APIs.
