Can your app survive in the fragmented Android market landscape?
Detect issues that may cause your app to crash or deliver a poor user experience.
Multiple brands, versions of operating systems, screen sizes, performance levels, and capabilities: The fragmentation in the Android market creates unique challenges for development and mobile testing. At any given point in time, there is a vast amount of Android mobile devices on the mobile app market, with different Android versions in use. To reach the greatest potential user base, an Android app must be able to support the majority of Android versions actively in use. Developing an Android app that is compatible with all these devices is challenging – and so is designing automated tests for these apps.
Handle Android brand, O/S version & device variety
Release high-quality software faster with mobile automation testing.
Users can be unforgiving when it comes to defects in an Android application. Don’t allow undiscovered issues to lead to poor reviews in the Google Play store or cause users to delete your app. With Ranorex Studio, you can perform rigorous mobile testing on real devices or Android emulators, to have the confidence that your app is ready for release on all of the major Android platforms.
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 interacts 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.

Why use Ranorex Studio for Android application testing
Create, maintain and reuse robust tests for native, mobile web, and hybrid Android applications.
Increase testing efficiency and effectiveness by automating Android application testing with the Ranorex automation framework, and experience better results in the development and testing process, whether you are using a traditional or agile development approach. Our Android automation testing tools enable testers and developers alike to easily write stable automated tests using the codeless and coded test automation features. With our broad support for Android platforms and robust object identification, you can effortlessly maintain and reuse automated tests created for native, mobile web, and hybrid Android apps on real devices as well as emulators. Using Ranorex Studio, you will also benefit from:
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 the Ranorex automated testing capabilities. Due to the lightweight Ranorex Studio mobile tests that result in JUnit-compatible reports, 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-sources tools Selenium WebDriver and Appium to test native apps based on the Android SDK. This way, you can automate testing of the 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 Android testing tools to create robust and reliable mobile automation suites. The powerful Ranorex Spy enables you to instantly 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.
