Ranorex Studio Erfahrungen

Bewertung Ranorex Studio

Vorteile:

Am besten gäfllt mir an Ranorex, das es sehr benutzerfreundlich ist und sich einfach bedienen lässt. Des Weiteren ist Ranorex sehr Vielseitig, es unterstützt die verschiedensten Anwendungen und Technologien, egal ob Webanwendungen, Desktopanwendungen und mobilen Anwendungen.

Nachteile:

Als Nachteil fällt mir nur eine Funktion ein das er aus den aufnahmen gleich eine Dokumentation erstellt und eventuell wäre es besser nicht immer die absoluten pfade der Elemente zu nehmen um nach Veränderung des Diesiges auch die Elemente noch auffindbar sind.

Ranorex: Easy and Powerful Software Automation Tool

Kommentare: Our organization works on a legacy desktop project using some relatively old Java Elements for its front-end design combined with C++ backend using CORBA calls. Some of the GUI objects are relatively new.
So our project has a mix of legacy / old Java objects [swanky toolbars] / new Java objects and c++ for backend. Overall, the learning curve for the Ranorex Automation Tool was not steep.
I genuinely enjoy the coding and designing part for the project using this powerful tool as a senior architect for the project. My Genuine Advice: Before purchasing, please use the free version of the tool and try building up an object repository for the system under test which can give you the confidence whether this tool is right for your project or not.

Vorteile:

[My Organization got 20+ licenses for Ranorex after trying it out for 30+ days for free - I am neither related to Ranorex nor is this a paid review] Pros: 1. The tool is comparatively easy to learn [Compared to QTP-UFT]. 2. There is amazing support available from Ranorex - This was possible because of the 20+ licenses purchased and Ranorex Representatives coming in to solve our specific queries. 3. The tool is powerful in the sense that it can help recognize and work with / take care of blinking objects / tooltips which disappear quickly / dynamic object which are difficult to recognize from automation perspective. 4. I like the idea that the tool gives you the power to start easy [simple recordings] and then you can take charge [for more complicated stuff - to harden the solutions] by designing User Code Methods / Modules.

Nachteile:

1. The tool is not cheap. [But worth the money spent] 2. Every-time you need to execute your code / automation recording, the whole solution needs to be re-built which takes time and is annoying. 3. Using the GitHub tool along with Ranorex for maintaining the code from various developers / maintaining versions and releases can be tricky and needs a little practice and patience.

The best tool for mobile testing automation

Kommentare: As I described above - Ranorex is highly useful for creating and executing stable mobile tests on our devices (Android, iOS). In future we plan to use this tool for web automation, too.

Vorteile:

Complexity. The tool is proffesional (we have been used free Katalon Studio earlier which was buggy). It is very useful for mobile testing automation for our Android nad iOS apps. Tests are stable and easy to maintain.

Nachteile:

Unfortunately - the costs. This tools isn't cheap. Also, Ranorex because of its complexity, it is not easy to at the first glance. You need some training and time to learn how to prepare tests.

Rough around the edges but very powerful

Kommentare: Positive - while it may not be the easiest to use, it is one of the most versatile and powerful automation packages out there.

Vorteile:

Ranorex can be used by those with no knowledge of code through recording modules, and 99% of the time this is all that is required. In addition it allows code modules to be written and run by those experienced in C#, and this means that almost anything is possible to automate.

Nachteile:

The software is finicky and difficult to use and understand; it can sometimes be frustrating. I would recommend using it on a powerful PC with lots of RAM as the Ranorex Studio and Spy software can sometime freeze on weaker PCs.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Tricentis Tosca

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Ranorex Studio: Ranorex seems the most versatile solution as it can be used by coders and non-coders alike. Also the customer support and online Webinars are helpful for continued learning of it's features.

Ranorex rocks!

Vorteile:

What I really like about Ranorex is its wide coverage of technologies, relative easy to learn and use UI, pretty robust and reliable element recognition and very helpful and responsive support. In fact, their proactive and friendly support was one of the major decision points for me. I'm working with Ranorex since 2012 and so far, I was always able to achieve my goals (automating mainly desktop and web-based apps).

Nachteile:

Unfortunately, I really don't like Ranorex API documentation. While the general Ranorex user guide is great both for novice and advanced users, advanced coders may find Ranorex API documentation pretty inadequate and lacking samples. Luckily, Ranorex user forum is already filled with tons of use cases and code examples. Still, Ranorex API documentation really needs an overhaul.

Meeting all of our automation needs

Kommentare: Ranorex has helped our small staff, with limited resources, develop a large series of regression suites that test our software weekly. It has become an invaluable tool for us, and something we are continually finding new ways to incorporate. They have great customer service, and are continually updating and adding useful features.

Vorteile:

Ranorex is an affordable alternative that is easy to get up and running. We use it for testing our web solutions, and in-house software. You can do most things without knowing a lot of code, but it is robust enough that, for someone with coding experience, the possibilities are pretty limitless.

Nachteile:

While customer support is exceptional, there is a smaller user base, so finding solutions in the community can sometimes be more difficult. This isn't a fault of the software, but a limitation all the same.

Ranorex user since 2.3

Kommentare: I use Ranorex to automate our software suite that spans many windows and web applications. It's great to be able to use one framework to automate all of our software and not have to split it up between web and desktop.

Vorteile:

Works with many technologies. I use it for web and windows. What I like the most about it is the Visual Studio integration, where I just reference the dll's in my own solution.

Nachteile:

As a whole, I like Ranorex a lot but if I had to complain about something, it would be that occasionally (once a month) during my automation executions, I have element identification issues and/or crashing Thread.Abort issues. Both are very hard to reproduce manually and I pretty much gave up on them. I will note I use the Visual Studio integration.

Ranorex lives up to the hype!

Kommentare: My overall experience has been great with a few hiccups that have always been promptly resolved. For our team, we have a broad range of test cases that we automate on various platforms, web, mobile, and desktop. Using Ranorex, we have been able to integrate our automation seamlessly into our testing environment and we have covered a lot of tests that have saved us time and money. Great experience and once you have the tool under control and some coding experience with C#, the possibilities are endless.

Vorteile:

Its flexible and allows for end to end cross platform automation solutions. I really like that I can use my own code to automate features that I need more control over. So far, whenever I have hit a problem the support team has worked with me to resolve the issue.

Nachteile:

I wish there were a full dark mode. I also hope that mobile automation capabilities are expanded in the future as more software moves to mobile platforms.

Great Automation Tool

Kommentare: Ranorex is great for testing UI applications, the other options I have seen(UFT) are not as good as Ranorex. When it comes to web applications, Selenium is king. For UI Ranorex is great.

Vorteile:

I've been working with Ranorex for the last 2 years. Its a pretty good automation tool with great features. The data binding framework is great. The reporting features are great.

Nachteile:

Git issues. Ranorex has a hard time merging repositories and test suites. They recently came out with a git merge tool but its not perfect, there are still issues when merging. Another con, which may be seen as a pro for some, is the fact that it requires little coding. This is a con for developers who want to retain their skills.

Test automation toll Ranotex - Improve development time and reduce maintenance efforts.

Kommentare: We have above 1000 automated tests...
1. Help in daily regression and early defect identification
2. Reduced manual efforts in formal test execution by 30% and we are planning to have 60 to 80% formal automated tests.
3. Ranorex tooling helped us to improved our test development time and reduced maintenance time.

Vorteile:

Better object recognition, structured recording, Test parameterization, reusable modules and customize reporting, faster debugging and fixing test issue using Ranorex studio by disabling other modules functions of the same tests from UI -no need to run full test again and again for debugging.

Nachteile:

asynchronous popup handler - some time mess up report.

One years experience with Ranorex

Kommentare: Overall great experience. I had not heard about Ranorex until I started my new position. It has good support for many technologies.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

Lack of support for newer versions of c#

Quick and easy to use

Kommentare: Used for regression testing common business process; automating repetitive tasks e.g. password validation; cross browser testing.
But licences expensive. Would stick with Selenium if you already have framework in place. Ranorex would be useful if starting from scratch as much faster to build tests than Selenium especially if your web site is built on iframes.

Vorteile:

Test suites can be put together vey quickly using record feature and organised logically using smart folders. Ranorex Spy very useful for creating paths to elements. Easy to add additional code and Ranorex helpers provided for common procedures. White List feature can be used to only include the required processes which avoids interruptions during playback. Ranorex Agents can be installed in remote machines for parallel running (need runtime licence for each active Agent). New features and improvements being added all the time. I have only used the web testing part so far so cannot comment on mobile or desktop support.

Nachteile:

Integrates with Selenium but the number of parallel tests is restricted to the number of Ranorex licences you have which excludes one of the main features of Selenium. No graphic representation of modules and workflow as exists in other products e.g. HP UFT. Does crash occasionally.during record sessions apparently due to McAfee. User Guide could have more detail.

OneTool4All

Kommentare: Excellent tool
every feature of this tool is valuable and i like the user poll for feature to be built. I like the forum as i get most of my answers from the public forum.

Vorteile:

Broad coverage of technologies and ease of using this tool and integration with all new source control systems and broader api coverage for multiple platforms. This tool has replaced all existing UI tools in my organization because of its richness in features.

Nachteile:

I wish this tool can provide or connect to cloud infrastructure to automatically run tests on schedule times as integration with different cloud platforms is a painful process for engineers to deal with

Ranorex is easy to use, easy to learn, powerful IDE, and a great value.

Kommentare: We have several Ranorex solutions and share common libraries between them. This allows us to reuse modules and allows us to cover a lot of regression testing quickly.

Vorteile:

The IDE makes it easy to write console apps, class files, methods, custom code, etc.

Nachteile:

The WPF recognition technology was recently improved. But pre-existing objects in the repository that were captured using the older WPF technology cannot be converted. It would be a huge effort to create a new repository. Not having a conversion process is what I like least.

Ranorex for C#

Vorteile:

We are using RR for testing our program in C# WPF. Software is really easy to use, intuitive UI and you can enhance testing writing C# code modules (similar to programming in VS). Customer Support is really fast.

Nachteile:

When project is big (when project has a lot of test cases - ca. 500++ test cases), program gets slower while editing. At runtime, it runs at normal speed. It is a good thing then to divide a project. When using special components in C# program (such as DevExpress) then RR has some troubles but usually are solved by the help of support.

Helped speed up our daily validation

Kommentare: Ranorex has been an incredibly helpful tool. It works seamlessly with our large tool base, saving us time from the most monotonous tests you can imagine. While there have been technical glitches with our primary tool, it has allowed us to save many hours in the day and explore new possibilities to improve our development pipeline.

Vorteile:

What I liked about this software was how it took a 6+ hour process and turned it into a 2-3 hour process. We can run the automated tests while we work on other tasks and it will send in a report once it's done.

Nachteile:

Two things. 1. No dark theme. 2. It runs very poorly with our in-house editor. We get WPF errors often that force us to restart our primary tool.

Good piece of software which is going forward

Vorteile:

The basic functionallity and recording is almost slef explanatory and the rest can easily be learned with the userguide! The devs really work on new features and take a look on request on the user voice page.

Nachteile:

More advanced features like functionality, which we use c# for, are not well documented and can be tricky to wrap self head user guide. The support is unfortunately slow and not super helpful.

Ranorex

Vorteile:

Writing Usercode for a functionality is pretty easy and even without the coding language, we can easy structure the code as we want. We can also do multiple validation parts even into the database and into the server.

Nachteile:

As I have just started working on this tool, I didn't notice anything least about this tool.

Ranorex Studio Review

Vorteile:

Easy to use and so much features. And supports so many technologies.

Nachteile:

Price could be smaller but Ranorex surely is not the most expensive eather

Easy to use test automation software

Vorteile:

Easy recording of actions and easy editing.

Nachteile:

Desktop to Mobile switches within a test suite can be unpredictable with successive runs.

Automation with Ranorex

Vorteile:

- it is the easiest automation Product - the user doesn't need programming experience - works with all environments: windows, web, android, apple

Nachteile:

Some important features/functionalities are still missing, such as Pinch and Zoom in Android.

My review

Kommentare: Creating regression test cases to reduce the regression testing time before deployment.

Vorteile:

Ability to generate test cases with a designer without writing much code.

Nachteile:

Slowing on connections via remote desktop connection.

Easy to use and quick to get going

Kommentare: We purchased it a year ago and have managed to automate our SAP regression suite. It has saved us so much time and cut costs significantly. Upskilling has been easy.

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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

Ranorex Studio automation

Vorteile:

Desktop application, web application is simple to automate by using ranorex studio.

Nachteile:

having nice tool to get xpath / create xpath

Great automated test solution for a variety of platforms!

Kommentare: Reducing time spent manually testing the code, and getting immediate feedback on the condition of branches.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.
