Luc Vangrunderbeeck - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Test Engineer at Infrabel
Testing solution supports Java testing with good reliability
There is nothing you can do for almost every application. If you do it for a single version, it is rather easy. However, if you want to run it for different versions of the software, then you need the Qt version of Java. You need to set up some special environment variables to be able to do that.
Aws V - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco
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

"Squish saved our time and money by creating reusable operating system independent test scripts."
"This product can work with QT applications and cross-cut from them, both on Windows OS and on Mac, as well as on mobile operating systems like iOS and Android too."
"Squish is integrated with Qt, which enables us to test the user interface effectively."
"Squish data-driven testing is very powerful and we can easily check for bulk and huge data without any issues."
"If you are looking for simple, not expensive, with nice support and for Qt-application tool – I think, it’s the best one."
"The biggest ROI is the time that we got back from our QA team because they didn’t have to manually regression test our product every release."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"Our previous, haphazard approach to testing was not effective, and using Squish has led us into an organized mode of testing."
"It's easy to use the test suite and add test cases to do our product bug fixes, and software pre-release regression tests, and continuous Integration testing with Jenkins CI tool for each software build test."
"Ranorex support is speedy, reliable and very friendly."
"Ranorex is a very good product, especially for testing Windows Forms applications but also companies with web applications and mobile applications will be very pleased by the product as it has also perfect UI recognition for these platforms."
"The most valuable features of this solution are object recognition and the fact that you can memorize the objects."
"If you are looking for an automation tool that is easy to implement, easy to understand, and works with most of technologies on the market, Ranorex is the appropriate solution for you."
"Ranorex improved our ui automation by providing handy features such as WaitForExists, Exists, Enabled, Visible"
"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Ranorex is that it is a powerful tool, it is far-reaching, and it works as advertised."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, I had problems, but their support team resolved almost of them in short time."
"ID could be improved with suggestions of names, variables or class."
"I like it how it is, but it's not cheap."
"The only criticism I have is the IDE needed a bit of polish in version 5.2 (this may have been fixed in the latest versions)."
"Squish is lagging in handling swing objects, but I believe Squish will overcome this shortly."
"It still requires better solutions for object identification and an enhancement to identify all the objects of the AUT before building the object map."
"Support isn't always helpful. I sometimes need to find solutions myself."
"Recording tests with Squish IDE creates quite ugly code and it is very difficult to maintain tests that have been recorded."
"For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."
"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."
"I would like to see Ranorex come up with a load balancing tool for test execution."
"Snapshots for WPF applications taking too long than expected."
"The current version of Ranorex Studio IDE is based on an old version of SharpDevelop IDE (3.2), but this is going to change soon (planned update to SharpDevelop 4.x)."
"The compatibility with different browsers needs to be improved."
"I think it still needs to improve a lot."
"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

"It is expensive."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"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)."
