Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Ranorex Studio and Eggplant Test compete in automation testing. While both offer strong features, Ranorex Studio has an upper hand due to its superior code control and customization with C#, appealing to more technical users.

Features: Ranorex Studio offers C# code control, an easy test recording and execution interface, and comprehensive element recognition. It also benefits from robust support forums and cross-platform capabilities. Eggplant Test provides strong OCR technology, AI-driven automation, and image recognition, enhancing versatility across various platforms.

Room for Improvement: Ranorex Studio needs to improve support for non-Windows systems, enhance coding interface flexibility, and strengthen compatibility with non-.NET applications. Eggplant Test could improve in user-friendliness, integration with external tools, and expand support for more programming languages.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Ranorex Studio supports on-premises deployment with reliable customer support praised for responsiveness. It encourages community support benefits. Eggplant Test offers both on-premises and cloud deployment, providing similar customer service levels but faces licensing complexities.

Pricing and ROI: Ranorex Studio is considered expensive, utilizing a licensing model that offers flexibility and good ROI by reducing manual regression efforts.

Has required frequent manual adjustments due to screen resolution but supports simple automation with minimal effort

I would prefer more UFT because it has VB scripting capabilities. While Eggplant Test also has this feature, it's not very user-friendly. I prefer the features of UFT compared to Eggplant Test. When needing to do quick automation, I would prefer Eggplant Test, but otherwise, I would always choose UFT. It depends on the complexity of the tasks. For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective. With Eggplant Test, if you have very low complexity automation, such as simple click sequences and validation, then it would be preferable; with more complexity, I would not recommend Eggplant Test.

Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet

There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."

"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."

"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."

"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."

"It is easy to set up."

"DAI's newest release allows us to test via scripts rather than models, because we have done 95 percent of our development in functional, not through modeling. I am really happy that then we can use the controller to run scripts rather than having to translate things to models. There are lots of options."

"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."

"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."

More Eggplant Test pros

"Object identification is good."

"Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization."

"Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding."

"The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance."

"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."

"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."

More Ranorex Studio pros

Cons

"The execution times are a little slower, and the two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture."

"There was no free trial in it."

"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."

"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."

"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."

"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."

"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."

"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."

More Eggplant Test cons

"If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it."

"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."

"Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls)."

"The solution's technical support team could be responsive."

"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."

"When Ranorex is upgraded, the compatibility with other projects, in version control, in-house or on-premise, fails on occasion. However, overall, the stability is good."

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

"Part of the challenge is that Ranorex's support is over in Europe, so we can't get responses on the same day. If we had support in the United States that was a bit more timely, that would be helpful."

More Ranorex Studio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."

"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."

"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."

"It probably has a yearly license."

"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."

"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."

"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
