Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Worksoft Certify and Ranorex Studio are strong competitors in the automation testing tools market. Worksoft Certify appears to have an advantage in ERP automation, especially for SAP, while Ranorex Studio stands out for its robust UI recognition and cross-platform capabilities.

Features: Worksoft Certify offers lights-out testing, supports a variety of ERP systems including SAP, and is a no-code platform suitable for users lacking programming skills. It integrates with various applications using Capture 2.0 for effective process documentation. Ranorex Studio excels in UI recognition, offers scripting flexibility with C#, and supports cross-browser and mobile testing with ease. Its seamless integration with third-party tools and strong module support enhances its automation capabilities.

Room for Improvement: Worksoft Certify has challenges with complex upgrades, lacks web application support, and its UI could be more intuitive. Other issues include database management and limited report customization. Ranorex Studio's limitations include multi-OS support beyond Windows and insufficient modular capabilities for concurrent tests. Its UI is somewhat outdated, integration with Angular can be tricky, and users seek better API documentation and language support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Worksoft Certify is mainly used in on-premises and hybrid environments. While customer service is positively noted, there can be slow response times from technical support. Ranorex Studio is adaptable for both private and public cloud setups, praised for its responsive customer service, though support quality may vary with different representatives.

Pricing and ROI: Worksoft Certify is pricier, reflecting its value in large ERP deployments like SAP, offering significant ROI through reduced manual testing time. Smaller setups may find its costs less feasible, leading to calls for more flexible licensing. Ranorex Studio, similarly expensive, provides cost-effectiveness for smaller teams due to its floating licenses, with ROI driven by its extensive feature set covering diverse testing requirements.

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.

Best tool for SAP Environment & Powerfull Automation tool with user friendly interface

From my experience, Worksoft Certify is a good tool for automating SAP, and it also works fine with web apps. But while creating or running scripts, we do face some automation abort issues, which break the flow and need rework. Also, sometimes it feels a bit slow, especially when running more scripts together. If the speed and stability can be improved, that would really help. We are using CTM for scheduling and managing runs it’s useful, but there’s still some scope to improve things like live monitoring and checking results more easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."

"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."

"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."

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

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

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

"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."

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

More Ranorex Studio pros

"Worksoft has helped us position our company better because the product lets us show our value in terms of the benefits that we bring."

"If we write a new test that's 80 percent the same as an existing test, it is pretty straightforward to reuse the steps from existing tests for our new tests and build upon them."

"The most valuable feature is having a no-code solution for automation, so our QA team and some of our business users can work on automation. Then, they don't have to be developers."

"Worksoft Certify Mostly is an easy-to-learn tool and does not require any extensive training."

"It does allow for good reusability. When it's designed properly and utilized properly, we can put things in a way that allows for reusability, meaning a lot of reuse of VA01, if they're very similar flows, to keep it simple."

"It is a pretty easy tool to use as far as automated testing tools go."

"The Worksoft Capture feature is most valuable. For example, if you are creating a sales order in SAP, you do not need to go to each field and do everything. You do not need to write code for each and every line. You can just turn on the Worksoft Capture feature and manually perform your actions. It will capture all manual actions, and it will give you the steps. It will write the steps for you."

"It's script-free, which is really important for our end users because we are usually dealing with colleagues who are not developers and who do not always have the technical background of developing and scripting. It's very useful that there is a nice UI and the tool is script-free."

More Worksoft Certify pros

Cons

"When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More Ranorex Studio cons

"Capture 2.0 is not as useful when you get into more mature automation."

"I would like BPP to have more filtering options during the report creation. This would make our customers happy."

"I would like the GUI to be more user-friendly and intuitive. We want to be able to move assets from project to another project without having to be in the same project or the same folder structure."

"We can't get the process intelligence module to work properly. We can't get the impact comment that analyzes the incoming development code to run, either. We've also had bugs in the CTM and execution manager in the past year. It took technical support a long time to resolve this issue. We escalated it so that the vice president of the company was included as well."

"What could be improved in Worksoft Certify is its integration with other tools, for example, test management tools such as Jira, ALM, or any other test management tools. That integration is missing."

"The problem with Worksoft Certify is that it's not always stable. It runs on a live platform that's constantly changing, so the test script needs to be adjusted every time, which is very painful."

"We ran into some issues with the version that we were on during the initial setup. We ran into a bug on one version, then they upgraded us to a new version, and we got hit with another bug. So, they had to put us in a beta. That was a little frustrating. However, besides the bugs that we ran into, the install was pretty straightforward."

"It would be great if our business testers could develop their own automated test cases. With every release you do, you have to go back and touch your old test cases and bring them up to speed, or develop new test cases. In the beginning, that is a challenge because you have to have someone who is certified in the tool to help you develop these test cases."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

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

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

"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."

"This solution is expensive."

"We have seen that the initial Worksoft implementation has helped our customers reduce their testing cycle time by 50 percent. With further continuous improvement, we have seen cycle time reduced up to 75 percent. That is the level of productivity achieved using Worksoft Certify."

"Worksoft has paid for itself fives times over."

"The price is in line with everyone else's in the market. They are not cheaper nor more expensive than anyone else who was in our RFP."

"Automating our manual processes has saved us 70 to 80 percent in time."

"We saved $1.3 million using Worksoft Certify in 2017."

"It is expensive compared to some of the other automation tools in the market. However, the benefits and ROI has proved that it has been a good investment."

"The typical range that we see is between 50 to 90 percent improvement in speed capabilities. Another aspect comes with the depth that they're able to test. It increases their capabilities overall to test at a broader level."
