Ranorex Studio

What Ranorex Studio is

Ranorex Studio automates tests for desktop, web, and mobile applications. Users can record actions and arrange drag-and-drop logic, or write custom flows in C# or VB.NET. Behavior-driven tests can use plain-English Gherkin syntax. Ranorex Spy uses RanoreXPath to capture dynamic elements and create object repositories. Tests support remote execution and parallel runs across Windows, browsers, iOS, and Android. Reports may include screenshots, logs, and video playback, with Jira and TestRail integrations. Listed integrations also include Jenkins, Azure DevOps, BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, Selenium Grid, Git, Subversion, and Team Foundation Server. Ranorex Studio works with Visual Studio, allowing script extensions in C# and VB.NET. The product offers a 14-day trial with full access and no credit card required, but pricing is on request and there is no free plan. Annual subscription licenses are time-based concurrent-user licenses activatable on multiple machines, with additional seats available. Runtime licenses are required for extra concurrent endpoints and Ranorex Remote agents. Documented Studio requirements list Windows operating systems and .NET Framework 4.8.

Who it suits

Ranorex Studio suits teams automating desktop, web, and mobile application tests. It fits organizations needing low-code recording, coded extensions, parallel execution, and integrations with development or test tools.

Limits

The trial lasts 14 days. Studio Runtime only executes tests and requires at least one Studio or Enterprise license for test creation; additional concurrent endpoints and Ranorex Remote agents require runtime licenses.
