Ranorex Webtestit Beta Program
Try a lightweight IDE optimized for building UI web tests with Selenium or Protractor
More testing, less boilerplate coding
Ranorex Webtestit significantly reduces the effort to build robust and reliable UI tests for web applications
Test everywhere
Cross-browser testing on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android mobile devices. Test all popular browsers or a headless browser on your local machine, distribute tests on a Selenium grid or to cloud-based providers.
Easy setup
Ranorex Webtestit manages the tedious setup process for you, including scaffolding of a test framework. Webtestit even automatically downloads the drivers needed to test your application on various browsers.
Efficient automation
Increase your productivity. Let Ranorex Webtestit scaffold your project based on recognized best practices and create boilerplate code for you. Save even more time with intelligent test-specific code completion.
Standard language support
Develop tests in Java and Typescript, and Webtestit generates native Selenium or Protractor code. Coming soon: additional languages such as JavaScript and test automation libraries such as WebdriverIO.
Build robust, reliable automated tests
Get optimized workflows with built-in best practices to eliminate flaky, brittle tests and reduce maintenance.
Designed for web test automation
Create robust, stable tests using Java or Typescript, for standard web technologies including Selenium and Protractor. Save development time with automatic application of page object patterns, built-in code snippets, useful keyboard shortcuts and intelligent code completion. Ranorex Webtestit is a standalone integrated development environment (IDE) built just for web testing.
Efficient Selenium-compatible code
Solve your Selenium pain points. Generate UI element locators with Ranorex Selocity, a free Chrome extension that generates robust and reliable locators. Then, drag a UI locator directly into the Ranorex Webtestit code editor to automatically generate the corresponding Selenium Webdriver user interaction method. Learn more about Ranorex Selocity here.
Reduce maintenance with embedded best practices
Automate your tests quickly without sacrificing quality: Ranorex Webtestit includes built-in best practices such as creation of page objects, separating test code from the testing framework, creating modular and reusable tests, cross-browser testing, and more. The result is automated tests that are more stable and maintainable.
Selective test execution
Spend less time debugging your automated test workflows with selective test execution. Run only the failed tests or run a single test within your test suite.
Instantly generate UI selectors
Ranorex Webtestit works with Ranorex Selocity, a free extension for the Chrome DevTools, that instantly provides unique and robust selectors for your web page.
Create a reference screenshot for selectors
When you send a selector from the Selocity extension to Webtestit, a reference image of the element is created automatically. To see the image, just hover over the selector in the code editor.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay a fee to join the program or pay for the software?
How can I get support?
How do I leave the Webtestit open beta?
How do I provide my feedback to Ranorex?
What operating system can I run Webtestit on?
We support Windows and macOS as well as various Linux distributions.
How can I try out the TestRail integration?
To try out the integration of Webtestit with TestRail, you will need a valid TestRail license. If you don’t have one, you can register for a free trial of TestRail.
How do I receive new versions of Webtestit?
- For Windows and macOS, the built-in auto-updater will update the app to the latest version on every app start.
- For Linux, we’ll notify you about new updates and provide you with either an AppImage or Debian Package download.
Do you support Python?
Not yet. Good news, though: Webtestit makes use of the industry standard Language Server Protocol which opens up support for a wide range of possible languages. Stay tuned!
Does Webtestit include a test recorder tool?
No. Creating tests quickly is just part of test automation. Keeping them maintainable and easy to extend is an entirely different issue. We support testers by applying the Page Object pattern and guiding you through best practices to well-constructed and maintainable tests.
