TechValidate Research on Ranorex


Ranorex Case Study

Small Business Transportation Services Company

Introduction

This case study of a small business transportation services company is based on a November 2022 survey of Ranorex customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled company asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

“The application had got too big to do full regression testing manually before each customer release. With Ranorex, we can regression test an overnight build every day, which has meant that we are capturing regression issues much faster and more importantly before releases are built.”

“It’s pretty good for what I use it for (which is fairly limited as regards its potential), but there are some niggles that mean it takes time it shouldn’t from my day; almost certainly down to my misuse, but I am not techy enough to understand the ins and outs, and my tech colleagues don’t have time to get involved.”
