Azure Test Plans vs. Ranorex Studio

It works well for express test case implementation with a short duration. You can define the tests for two weeks and run the activities documenting the software errors and fixes to control the effectiveness of DevOps. The graphic reports give the idea of the backlog phases advances and errors detected. It needs improvement if you have a large test project and need to design financial budgets and control over costs of the test plan.

Personally I rate it a 10 from my own experience, but from a company perspective, I would drop that to perhaps an 8. This is because while I have fun while finding it extremely easy to use and comprehensive enough, there have been times that relative to the project currently in works, Ranorex has not performed due to its shortcomings. If asked though I would certainly fully recommend Ranorex to a potential user, especially to someone less skilled in this field.

• Multi test plan access
• Well structured and easy to use
• Integrates with other azure features to work seamlessly ,connecting the data flow

• Initial setup.
• User guide.
• Getting money from customers.

• Graphic definition of the the Work Break Down Structure
• Gantt Chart to check the activity dependance and flow of the process
• Basic cost module to design test budgets.

• Language support is limited, c# and Vb.net only if i remember correctly compared to other tools which allow many more. This addition would certainly be appreciated if added on in a company like mine with a variety of differently skilled individuals
• Paid license. This is not always preferred. A free version without a limited trial but maybe limited features would be appreciated.

I suppose my experience is sort of mixed. Help documents are substantially helpful. I personally have not got the quickest responses from Ranorex support but at the same time, they are pretty good with updating their users frequently with info about their product/s and features. The community is really where I find support and I suppose that could look to be an extension of the product itself.

We're doing a full continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), continuous testing (CT), security, delivery, and monitoring. They have been lately adding features to the services on a regular basis. Every two weeks, they add functionality to Azure DevOps Services to match it with what Azure DevOps Server or on-prem would offer. So, we continue to get more robust functionality. My favorite right now is that they are starting to open up the API availability within Azure DevOps Services.

We have used Selenium as well. This has picked up more steam than Ranorex if i have to be honest.

• Pros: One stop solution for end to end traceability
• Pros: Exploratory testing used
• Pros: maximum coverage on multiple browsers, operating system combinations
• Cons: Integration with Non-Microsoft tools can be improved

• We were left without a working solution so the whole project had to been stopped.
