Even though my team was small and part-offshore and part-onshore model team, and almost everyone was at graduate level, at the end of year one, I was able to show savings of roughly $90,000 for my customer. We were able to successfully deliver the product to the market on time, and we were able to execute several times to find critical defects, and I can’t imagine executing the scripts that many times manually.

The solution has its advantages, as it supports virtual machines. Thus, we can integrate it with the DevOps processes and Jenkins server.

Six years ago, the only real alternative was QTP. Having previously used other tools, including Rational Robot, Winrunner, TestComplete and others over the years, we wished to move away from the typical VB scripted approach. Selenium was in its infancy and still a basic tool. QTP, whilst still good, was struggling to keep up with new technologies, despite still being a market leader. For us QTP’s antiquated IDE was no longer adequate and VBscript did not offer the power of newer programming languages.

Ranorex at the time was the only solution able to easily handle the new Ajax web implementations of the day. Our company had just moved to ExtJS 2 and QTP did not provide support for that technology. HP support was not able to rectify the issue whereas Ranorex worked out of the box.

Ranorex support was great also. Support responses were always quick and they were able to work with us to find solutions, weather they were solutions out of the box, or construct solutions for us if they weren't yet available.

For people starting out in automation or even people who have been doing it for years, Ranorex provides an automation solution that can get you up and running with limited fuss. Whilst we no longer use the solution in the way they would intend i.e. we’ve abstracted all of their functions within wrapper classes and simply use Ranorex for interacting with the application, I still believe it is a great tool that caters for a wide range of technologies for testers that are new to automation.

Ranorex helps us to test our apps more effectively on a daily basis.

I implemented this tool for several of my customers and I can see the ROI rightaway. The tool is very easy to use and test automation can be started rightaway and improvements can be done later on. Perhaps this is the only tool where I would reply on Record and Playback because it just does excellent job same as manually adding automated test steps.

We automated hundreds of regression tests using this tool and they run every weekend and every time the test fails, an email is sent out. Earlier we used to run one big round of regression test every quarter but now we do it every week. Huge savings!!

With completed test automation suites we have greatly reduced the amount of time spent manually regression testing after each software release.

With this product we are continuously getting rid of manual regression tests that had to happen each deployment manually by key users. It brings more accuracy in regression tests, more time for involved people for their daily tasks, and more confidence to the application. In the future we plan to incorporate automatic execution in the continuous integration process.

As a company, we have tried several approaches to institute automated front-end testing with limited short term success. Currently, we are in full production executing thousands of test cases, multiple time per sprints across various platforms. By doing this we have freed up the team to -

1. Do more automation; and
2. Conduct in-depth testing not done previously.

The end results are a significant drop in customer-found defects.

The product supports multiple repositories and the ability to sort and maintain the repository in a positive way. I used the repository in combination with shared functions to pretty easily create reusable functions, that only needed repository maintenance with code changes.

Automation coverage overnight is very useful. Compared to Selenium, Ranorex has a very small learning curve, so most of the technical QA people can start development with it right away.

It gives us various options to work as a consultancy with our different size clients.

• Quick development of automation framework
• Easy to maintain
• No need of external or third party test runners as Ranorex Test Runner is very good.

It made it possible to automate a lot of processes in our Windows Forms applications, and we also plan on using it in a web application. Now, we’re able to execute tests overnight which would be forgotten if we only had manual tests.

We have used Ranorex for one of our biggest client to automate Web (Asp .net, Sharepoint and Silverlight applications) & Desktop (Windows and WPF) applications. We had smoke and regression test were running on daily basis on Production environment. Now doing some migration on the existing scripts for CRM support.

• Automatic testing of a web solution every night and after every deployment
• Every morning we get a test status of our different brands. We've created status pages that read the test status from a database, so we get a clear overview of all the tests that have been running at night or after each deployment
• Everybody have access to our status pages and can have a look of the status of a specific test

Firstly, I can say that Ranorex offers easy-to-use test automation software for developing and managing projects which enables more efficiency with implementing new test cases.

Also, the results of test execution are represented with more details and in a very concise and effective manner. Log failures, successes, info, warnings, screen captures, etc. are possible to use to make the reporting more representable.

By using this product, we have been able to explore some more advanced strategies in developing our automation which has been able to carry over to other automation teams. This has made all of our automation teams suites more robust and accurate with their testing.

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

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.

Due to the ability to code our own adaptors, the code maintenance effort has been reduced. We do not use the Ranorex Studio thus there is no “spaghetti code”, which is difficult to maintain, being created.

We have a flex application and it is difficult to use Java/Selenium, Ranorex helped to automate these flex application and improved our test coverage to deliver a bug free application.

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

I have been able to run specific tests on different platforms and browsers.

Need few upgrades to automate desktop applications

Unfortunately, we were not able to drive this project to completion due to incompatibility between our offerings and product functionality, as well as internal politics.

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

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.

As per my knowledge, we don't have a (Free) robust tool for functional and GUI testing in desktop application testing field. This is way better than QTP and Silktest when compared to in following aspects:

User friendly UI

Cost of Tool

Continuous Integration

Instant release of updated add-on as per latest technologies and browsers.

Full fledged trial product for exact 30 days.

It's reduced the manual effort in verifying the user interface of the product under test.

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 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.

It's improved our company in a numbers of ways, but most importantly it helps us save time and the report preparation is nice and easy.

Using the "User Defined" functions has helped me a lot in testing my applications in different ways.
