Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Ranorex Studio and Testim compete in the automated testing tools category, each catering to distinct user needs. Ranorex Studio tends to have the upper hand in pricing and customer support, while Testim shines with its advanced feature offerings.

Features: Ranorex Studio provides robust desktop testing and supports all-in-one solutions for test automation across desktop, web, and mobile platforms with codeless automation. Testim excels with AI-driven capabilities for enhanced test maintenance and scalable testing in cloud environments focusing on AI and cloud scalability.

Room for Improvement: Ranorex Studio could improve by incorporating more AI features, enhancing cloud testing capabilities, and providing better automation for non-desktop environments. Testim could benefit from reducing initial complexity, lowering subscription costs, and offering extensive offline support for varied environments.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Ranorex Studio offers traditional installation and straightforward deployment with regular customer support. Testim's cloud-based deployment allows for rapid setup but may require adjustments for teams unfamiliar with this model.

Pricing and ROI: Ranorex Studio has a higher upfront setup cost but offers a comprehensive toolset with broader ROI in extensive environments. Testim's subscription model might appear costlier initially but offers scalability and advanced features that could deliver high ROI for those seeking innovative testing solutions.

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.

A stable tool to help users take care of the implementation phases in their environment

There are a few minor areas where improvements are required, but they are not something that I can discuss at a high level. I will have to ask the team that uses Testim since they can give a better response to what requires improvement in the product. I only manage the team that uses Testim. I cannot be exactly described as an end user of the tool. There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it. There were some trial and error methods our company had to deal with while using the product's documentation, after which we were able to get through the setup phase. I want the documentation to have more information to help users with the setup process. I want the product to be more scalable in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

"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 solution is stable."

"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."

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

"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."

"The REST API features allowed integrated testing for select products to quickly make calls and test the UIs with API calls while the CLI allows us to matrix the grid function across browsers."

"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the recently added AI feature."

"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."

"The product is easy to use."

"The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios."

"The automating smoke and regression tests have become easier and handier and manual efforts are saved."

More Testim pros

Cons

"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."

"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."

"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."

"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."

"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."

"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."

"Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better)."

"Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."

"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."

"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."

"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."

"The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."

"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."

"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."

"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."

More Testim cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

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

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

"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)."

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

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

"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."

"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."

"The solution is not expensive."
