What do you like best about Ranorex Studio?

We have been using Ranorex as our primary automation tool for over a year now, focusing on its effectiveness in streamlining our quality assurance processes. Here are some of our key findings:

Pros:

User-Friendly Interface: Ranorex offers a highly intuitive interface that makes it accessible for both experienced testers and those new to automation testing. The tool’s drag-and-drop UI and comprehensive tutorials facilitate quick adoption.

Cross-Platform Testing: One of the standout features of Ranorex is its ability to perform cross-platform testing. We have successfully used it to test desktop, web, and mobile applications, leveraging its robust multi-platform support.

Codeless Automation: For testers with limited coding experience, Ranorex’s codeless automation options are a significant advantage. The recorder functionality captures user actions and converts them into reusable scripts.

Integration Capabilities: Ranorex integrates well with other tools in our tech stack, including JIRA and Jenkins. This integration has streamlined our continuous integration and continuous testing (CI/CT) pipelines, enhancing overall project efficiency.

Reliable Object Repository: The tool’s object repository effectively manages UI elements, allowing for easy updates and maintenance of test scripts. This feature has significantly reduced the overhead associated with script maintenance.

Overall, Ranorex has proven to be a valuable asset in our automation toolset. Its user-friendly interface, versatile testing capabilities, and robust integration options have greatly enhanced our QA processes. While there are some areas for improvement, such as resource optimization and expanded cloud support, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. We look forward to continuing our use of Ranorex and exploring its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ranorex Studio?

Limited Cloud Support: Although Ranorex supports various platforms, its cloud testing capabilities are somewhat limited compared to other tools that offer more robust cloud integration options.

Learning Curve: Despite its user-friendly interface, new users may face a steep learning curve when diving into more advanced features or scripting capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ranorex Studio?

What do you dislike about Ranorex Studio?

While Ranorex Studio offers a comprehensive set of features, one area for improvement is its performance with very large test suites. When dealing with extensive projects containing thousands of test cases, we've noticed that the tool can become somewhat sluggish, particularly during test execution and report generation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ranorex Studio?

Powerful tool, allows to cover almost all types of desktop apps.

Ability to implement code using Ranorex API and in Ranorex Studio gives great flexibility. Other features I like is: object spy, support of Web and Mobile apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ranorex Studio?

price :)

if you have dozens of running agents and couples of engineers who work on test automation price can be decent.

But if you manage to optimize your infrastructure and apporach, price can be much lower Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ranorex Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had several projects with Ranorex,

on the first one we migrated desktop app from 32 to 64 bit system and used Ranorex to make sure there is no regression during migration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ranorex Studio?

Easy click and recording for actions of the tested application.

I especially liked a lot that there were training sessions online for free for the users. I also likes that the content of these sessions was of big variety, and that there are sessions for users of all levels of experience with Ranorex and testing in general, from novices to experts. The support also is really helpful, they are keen on helping you with understanding how ranorex works, working around problems and even help you with implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ranorex Studio?

I faced a lot of difficulties in recording when more than 1 technologies are used for the app.

There was no clear resolution for this matter, I just had to give up testing of this part of our software that used a different techology (.net) than main one (java).

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ranorex Studio:

Use ranorex if you have a team of testers doing manual testing- switch to automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ranorex Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automation testing . trying to create test scripts then applying them into cases using recording tool and also code when necessary. The business problem was that manual testing takes some time and also you can test more things with automated testing, there are always more ways to test your software faster if you mix manual testing with automated testing as well.

No actual benefits unfortunately. I could consider a benefit that I gained some experience in the cases where Ranorex can be applied succesfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ranorex Studio?

There are several aspects of Ranorex that I enjoyed. Creating new tests is simple, especially for those with less programming knowledge. I am starting testing from any point or evaluating any line sans executing the entire examination. Cross testing and the Ranorex Spy application make it simple to locate site parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ranorex Studio?

It would be nice if it were a bit cheaper, but it does a great deal for businesses implementing QA into their workplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ranorex Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are adding and automating all modifications to our Base goods. It saves us time during bug testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ranorex Studio?

It has a lot of flexibility to help you work through some of its shortcomings. The code modules are its saving grace Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ranorex Studio?

We have been dealing with a number of bugs in the system for years. Support is hard to communicate with, never seem to understand the root of the issue, and our sales rep changes monthly. Took years to resolve a blocking issue that kept us on old versions. Reporting works well for small tests, but becomes unuseable in any sort of large scale tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ranorex Studio:

Make sure it works with ALL the technologies you want to test. Not just surface level, make sure it can see the elements in all the places of your application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ranorex Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automation is a wonderful tool that has helped us do a lot of testing quickly. API changes lend themselves well to testing, and has helped catch many bugs caused by other features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jacqueline King of Ranorex Studio

Hi! This is the Ranorex team. Like many other companies, the pandemic affected our staff and ability to fill open roles. But in the past 6 months we've expanded our support team and greatly reduced our ticket backlog. We'd appreciate the chance to earn a better review. Please reach out to your account manager with any tickets that are still open so we can help get them resolved. If you don’t know your account manager’s name, send an email to marketing@ranorex.com and we’ll get you connected.
