Ranorex Studio
Ranorex Studio automates tests for desktop, web, and mobile applications.
What Ranorex Studio is
Ranorex Studio automates tests for desktop, web, and mobile applications. Users can record actions and arrange logic with drag-and-drop tools, or write custom test flows in C# or VB.NET. It also supports behavior-driven tests written in plain English with Gherkin syntax. Ranorex Spy uses RanoreXPath to capture dynamic elements and build object repositories. Tests can run remotely and in parallel across Windows, browsers, iOS, and Android. Reports can include screenshots, logs, and video playback, with Jira and TestRail integrations. Other listed integrations include Jenkins, Azure DevOps, BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, Selenium Grid, Git, Subversion, and Team Foundation Server. Ranorex Studio integrates with Visual Studio, where developers can extend scripts in C# and VB.NET. Annual subscriptions use time-based concurrent-user licenses that can be activated on multiple machines, and additional seats can be added. A 14-day trial offers full access without a credit card. Pricing is on request, and no free plan is listed. Documented requirements include Windows operating systems and .NET Framework 4.8.
