How to minimize Ranorex object identification time : General Questions

[vengaishiva]

Hi,
I have been using Ranorex v3.0 licensed version on a virtual machine. I have a window that needs to be identified. The path of the window is /form[@title='Application Error']. The problem here is Ranorex takes 3- 4 seconds to identify this. I need a better performance than this.I want it to be identified in less than a second Any tips on this?
The code looks like this :

Element window1 = null;
Host.Local.TryFindSingle(@"/form[@title='Application Error']",3000,out window1); //If i give less than 3000, its unable to identify all the times, sometimes it identifies.
//Doing some operations with this window1 after that.

Details about the automation :
I have written automation code such that, the automation runs for more than 45 mins. The above said line is a part of that automation.
OS used is Windows 7
RAM capacity 2 GB

Please help,

Hi,

How many processes are running on your VM, is the CPU Usage very high?
Maybe your VM is too slow or an application is running that needs much computational power?
Try to close all programs or processes which you do not really need for test purposes.
In this case I think that Ranorex is limited by the computational power of your VM.

What are the minimum system configuration required for having good performance with Ranorex v3.0 licensed version with Windows OS ?

Currently we have no official hardware requirements. We are working on it.
You want to know what's needed for Ranorex Studio or Runtime? I ask you because there is a big difference in the memory usage.

Hi,
We are using Ranorex Runtime, can you tell me the differences
Thanks,

Hi,

The difference between Runtime and Studio is the Ranorex Studio. This is based on GUI and GUI needs from scratch more memory. For the runtime should be a system with 1 Gb of RAM enough, but this is just an estimate and also depends on your OS and Unit Under Test. As told before we are currently on evaluating the Hardware requirements.
It would be very great if you can post or send us an example project where we can reproduce this issue.

Thanks in advance.
