Coded UI Test Automation Alternative
Visual Studio 2019 is the last version with support for Coded UI. Here’s your solution for a Coded UI replacement.
Migrate seamlessly to a Coded UI replacement
The Ranorex testing framework provides an API for C# and VB.Net that completely replaces Coded UI. It integrates with Visual Studio in a few clicks and offers the most powerful object recognition on the market, plus an array of complementary API methods for vastly improved functionality.
Developers and technical testers can rely on over 10 years of trusted experience in .NET and continue to test in their preferred IDE. The Ranorex testing framework API can be accessed from within Visual Studio. Migration from Coded UI to the Ranorex testing framework is as easy as one, two, three. Open Visual Studio, add Ranorex core assemblies as references and write your code to continue testing in Visual Studio without Coded UI. That’s it! You can now build robust and flexible tests in the language you know using Ranorex’s industry-leading object recognition without ever having to leave the comfort of the IDE you call home. And that’s not all.

Analyze effortlessly with Ranorex Spy
Experience the most reliable object recognition on the planet with Ranorex Spy, the tool that developers and technical testers love.
Use the Ranorex Spy Tool to analyze your AUT, its element structure, available object properties and attributes, and build the most robust and reliable XPaths for use in Visual Studio.
Be in full control of your XPaths. Increase or decrease dynamism in line with the complexity your tests require. Add variables to your XPaths and customize how you uniquely identify UI elements even when testing mixed technology applications.
Get the benefits of coded video reporting
VideoRecordingOptions( )
Take advantage of the only coded video reporting functionality in the marketplace. Add one line of code to see a video of each test case in your report. Go further and configure your video reporting at code level to record only failed test cases, change bitrate and frame rate, and even pause and resume recording during test runs.
The three Rs of increased functionality
Reporting
Ranorex.Report.Success
Benefit from fully customizable XML-based reports, and obtain a comprehensive overview of the test execution flow. It includes screenshots, videos, and is JUnit-compatible meaning integration with your CI systems is a breeze, enhancing transparency and giving instant feedback.
Repository
MyRepo.AddEntry
Choose the API with object repository access built-in and benefit from the hierarchical tree structure the Ranorex object repository offers. Each object automatically receives a unique and logical name, includes its own screenshot, and is kept separate from test actions for improved test maintainability.
And everything else
Code when you want, record when you can
Compliment your code with the Ranorex recorder and effortlessly enhance your tests with validations and parameters.
