Test your mobile app on real Android mobile devices or emulators

Ensure your Android app performs consistently across Android versions and devices. Start today with a free, full-featured trial.

With a diverse ecosystem encompassing multiple brands, versions of Android, screen sizes, performance levels, and capabilities—including React Native applications—the Android market presents unique hurdles for development and mobile testing. Developing an app that is compatible with all these devices is challenging, and so is building automated tests.

Ranorex Studio delivers the tools you need to perform in-depth Android app testing wirelessly or over USB–with no need to jailbreak a phone or tablet.

Reuse tests across different displays

Automated tests created with Ranorex Studio utilize the powerful RanoreXPath query language to uniquely identify UI elements, rather than relying on coordinates. This makes your mobile tests robust against UI changes and reusable across different screen sizes and resolutions.

Access device-specific information

Include device-specific parameters in mobile tests to ensure your application behaves as expected with real Android devices. Ranorex Studio enables you to effortlessly access information from the phone such as text messages, calls, battery, memory and CPU state as well as mock its GPS information.

Simulate real user interaction

Ensure your Android app is fully compatible with the gestures allowed by different devices on the market. Test on physical devices and emulators to simulate real user interaction, by combining UI objects and text fields with actions such as “swipe”, “touch” and “change orientation” from portrait to landscape.

Just 3 steps to robust Android automation testing

The most time efficient and effective way to test your Android application on real devices or emulators.

Use a Wi-Fi or USB connection

A stable and reliable connection is essential during Android automation testing. Using Ranorex Studio, it’s up to you to decide which connection type you prefer: Wi-Fi or USB.

Instrument without device modification

You don’t have to jailbreak, unlock, or root your device. Once you’ve connected your mobile device to Ranorex Studio, the instrumentation wizard will prepare it for automation testing.

Create tests instantly

Designing mobile app tests requires no coding and takes just a few clicks. Once you’ve designed a test, you can reuse it across platforms, browsers and O/Ss.

Apply continuous integration

Increase agility and integrate automated mobile testing into your CI/CD environment to run tests as part of automated builds. The Ranorex test automation framework directly integrates with the version control systems SVN, TFS or Git as well as popular continuous integration servers such as Jenkins and Bamboo. This way you can automatically test new code as soon as it is checked-in.

Incorporate best-in-class tools

Continue using the tools you already work with and further enhance Ranorex's automated testing capabilities. Ranorex Studio mobile tests are lightweight and result in JUnit-compatible reports, meaning mobile automation tests can seamlessly be integrated with multiple testing and infrastructure tools.

Test native mobile apps

Combine your automated mobile tests created in Ranorex Studio with the powerful capabilities of the open-source tools Selenium WebDriver and Appium to test native apps based on the Android SDK and React Native framework. This way, you can automate testing of native browser Chrome on real Android devices and automatically review installation and update processes on your app under test.

Design once, run everywhere

Get the most return for your test automation investment and perform cross device and cross browser testing with Ranorex Studio. Once you have designed a test, you only have to change a single parameter to instantly reuse it across O/S versions, browsers and devices, regardless of its screen resolution: from Android wearables and tablets to smartphones.

Comprehensive report & easy debugging

Each test run results in a comprehensive report with a pie chart summarizing all test cases, log messages and screenshots that provide a graphical overview of the test execution flow. When a test automation step has failed, you can rapidly debug it using the quick links “Jump to Item” and “Open in Spy”. If desired, you can send the report via email or save it as PDF.

For testers and developers

Use our comprehensive React Native and Android testing tools to create robust and reliable mobile automation suites. The powerful Ranorex Spy enables you to track GUI elements in your application, without the need to code. If you’re more into programming, you can access the C# or VB.NET automation API to benefit from increased flexibility and further enhance your Android application tests in code.
