TechValidate Research on Ranorex


Ranorex Case Study

Busy Lamp Inc

Introduction

This case study of BusyLamp Inc is based on a November 2022 survey of Ranorex customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“The cross application feature and elements/path recognition are one of the standing points for us. Since we develop a browser app, the element recognition and identifying robust path is important for us, and from time to time we have to interact with Windows element and Ranorex does it without much hustle.”

“Overall I’m happy with Ranorex as a Test Automation tool. Having cross browser and native Windows support was important for us and Ranorex does it good and without much coding. I’m giving 8 points because Idera/Ranorex could improve in some areas, like saving the arrays/lists and accessing them in other recording/code modules and support should improve.”
