Cross-platform and cross-technology
Get the strongest desktop technology support in the industry
Test your desktop application without limits – whether it’s based on CEF, WPF, Java or SAP.
Ranorex Studio has 10 years of trusted experience in desktop application testing. Includes native support for WinForms, WPF, Qt, Java, Delphi, SAP, UWP, MSAA/UIA, CEF, .NET Core, Office and many more. Offers GDI and GDI+ plugins to support those hard to reach areas. The best question is not what desktop technology Ranorex Studio supports but what it does not. Ranorex Studio will instantly recognize all objects in your application – even dynamic IDs, custom controls, and libraries, and is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Whether it is state-of-the-art technology or the most difficult to test legacy applications Ranorex studio will locate UI elements, leaving the kitchen sink as one of the few things Ranorex will not be able to find.
Unrivaled Object Recognition
Let Ranorex Spy Illuminate your UI
Experience the industry’s most robust and reliable object recognition. Use Ranorex Spy from within Ranorex Studio or in conjunction with your IDE of choice. Use the tool to analyze your AUT, its element structure, available object properties and attributes, and build the most robust and reliable XPaths on the planet.
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.
The three Rs of increased functionality
Start test automation now. No credit card required.
Record, code, or both
Desktop test automation that is not just for everyone but for everything
Get the best of all worlds with fully interchangeable and modifiable recording and coding modules. Capture entire workflows for replay or convert your actions to user code and modify it for the most complex test automation tasks. Ranorex is suitable for everyone on your team and all UI test automation tasks.
Reporting
Understand your desktop tests with both video and XML-based reporting
Benefit from fully customizable reports and obtain a comprehensive overview of how your application under test has performed. Understand your test results at a glance with screenshots, text, and videos. Ensure transparency and obtain instant feedback by integrating Ranorex Studio’s Junit-compatible reports with your CI system.
Repository
Get built-in object repository access
Manage your test with the highly maintainable object repository and take advantage of the hierarchical tree structure. 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 reusability.
Take giant leaps forward with your regression tests
Make flaky, hard-to-maintain tests a thing of the past with the number one tool for regression testing
If you want desktop test automation for regression tests you need Ranorex. It’s that simple. The ability to test all desktop technologies, market-leading object identification, reusable and modifiable code and recording modules, and object repository access all combine to make Ranorex Studio the perfect fit for desktop regression testing. Build and edit tests quickly from existing action modules and repository items, then run your test locally or in parallel using Ranorex Remote.
Absolute cross-technology and cross-platform functionality
Test desktop, web, mobile, SAP, and ERP from one place and the only place to offer true cross-technology/cross-platform test automation.
Upload a file using your desktop app, modify it using your web browser, and validate the changes on mobile, all from the same test suite in Ranorex Studio or your IDE of choice. Place an order on your webshop, validate order handling has happened in SAP, before validating the payment process, again all from the same test suite. No matter the platform, the technology, or the task Ranorex Studio holds the solution to automating your test.
Ensure maximum test coverage
Simultaneously run desktop tests remotely in different environments with Ranorex Remote.
Use your time to the fullest by distributing tests to remote machines. Using the Ranorex Remote feature in Ranorex Studio, you can simultaneously test your desktop application in multiple environments – using different system configurations, versions of the application under test, operating systems, and many more. You can continue working on your local machine in the meantime and will receive an automatic notification once a test has been executed and its report is ready. Ranorex Remote is also great for working in teams. Users within a network can access and deploy tests to the same agents, as well as receive all test reports from the remote machines to keep track of the project status and performance.
Trusted by over 4000 companies worldwide
An S&P 500 computer software company increased testing efficiency, shortened test cycles, and gained robust and reliable test automation using Ranorex Studio with Jenkins and Jira.
