Ranorex Studio Valuable Features

Aws V - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco

Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding. My team provides solutions to different teams, including those with limited technical expertise. 

Ranorex's user-friendly interface allows even non-technical users to automate with a minimal learning curve. So, the learning curve is less. The solution is accessible even to non-technical users with a shorter learning curve.

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 most valuable features of this solution are object recognition and the fact that you can memorize the objects. This is something that I have always had a problem with before.

It is user-friendly and the speed is pretty quick compared to other tools that I have been using.

Very easy to learn and use. In my project, other than me, the rest of the team members are college graduates. I learned this tool and trained them, and they were very effective in using this tool and I was able to show the ROI to the customer quickly with a cost effective solution.

This is not as expensive as other tools in the market, and at the same time it supports desktop, web and mobile applications and that, too, is different from the latest technologies.

I told the Ranorex support team that we are learning and using this tool and their support was excellent. In a few cases, they gave us a walkthrough of using the tools as well.

The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization.

Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations. Using the code conversion option means that you can easily write the code the way you want.

Through Ranorex, we are automating our test cases done for our internal CRM solution. We are using the keyword-driven approach available in Ranorex, and we get benefits from the essential support for Dynamics CRM (all versions). We are using also the runtime feature that runs the test suite independently on the server.

It's got very good support for automating desktop and mobile applications. 

Built in Object Spy and Ranorex Studio IDE. 

Also, Ranorex Runner where the test results can be customized and saved as HTML is good. 

It's also easy to update the object properties with the help of Object Spy. 

Object Repositories is a top notch feature which allows you to define variables for identifying objects and the value can be set through the code or during run time.

It has a good UI recognition and it is easy to maintain the tests. The RanoreXPath is very powerful and makes it possible to set-up a strong UI recognition even when the design is slightly redesigned. Also reporting is very useful with good description of the executed steps and screenshots when tests fail.

Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features.

The forum is very good as well.

Regarding other features, the solution identifies the elements very well. Creating and editing elements is very good. They offer automation solutions, and it's all in one tool.

The element library is quite nice.

Features that I have been using actively and bring the most value to me are:

  • Ranorex API – using different functions that the API provides to manipulate with the elements on the web page
  • Ranorex Spy – identifying the different elements on the web page and generating the element repository to be used in different tests
  • Ranorex Reporting – generating the report that shows the overall result of test execution, together with as much detailed as possible result of each step in a test case
