Why reinvent the wheel? Download and share Ranorex automation modules.

Ensuring reusability of automated test steps is one approach to reduce the effort in maintaining automated tests. A Ranorex test should always be separated into small reusable test actions. Simply split up an already recorded test sequence into multiple test actions, and further reuse the same module in multiple test cases. Since the code modules are smart and able to be parameterized, the result is accelerated creation of automated test cases.

You can now download and share useful automation modules easily on the "Automation Modules" forum page.

• Cleanup Folder Module
  It is often required to delete a folder or files – created by the system under test during a previously executed test run – to initialize a new test execution. This code module deletes a folder, including the files and subfolders which are part of it.
  
  
• Manual Validation Point Module
  During a test run it might be necessary to manually validate a specific state of the system under test. Add this module to any position within your test suite where a manual validation is required. A pop up dialog interrupts the test run, and enables the tester to manually validate the system’s current state. Finally, the tester specifies whether the validation step fails or succeeds and closes the dialog by pressing the “Yes” or “No” button.
  
  
• Send Mail Module
  Use this module at any position within your test suite to get informed about test runs by email. This is especially useful for overnight test executions on runtime machines.

Every test automation project has its own challenges, but sometimes you might have implemented a nice module, which could be useful for other Ranorex testers all over the world as well. Maybe you’re interested in sharing and discussing your modules with other testers? Or, maybe you’re looking for an already existing automation module before starting to develop it on your own? If yes, just have a look into our new “Automation Modules” forum page.
