Ranorex unveils software testing tool

GRAZ, AUSTRIA: Ranorex GmbH, provider of automated software testing solutions has announced the release of Ranorex V1.5, the newest version of its flagship software testing application.

Leading the additions in Ranorex V1.5 is Ranorex Studio, a complete test development environment that brings all Ranorex features together, allowing the user to create and maintain professional test automation projects through a single, easy-to-use interface.

Ranorex is a cost-effective and comprehensive GUI based software automation framework that simplifies both integration and acceptance testing for developers, SQA managers, and testing professionals, regardless of their programming or scripting experience.

Ranorex supports standard programming techniques and common languages such as C#, C++, or Python, as well as VB.NET or any other .NET language. It also supports any integrated development environment for these languages, for example Visual Studio and Eclipse.

The addition of Ranorex Studio V1.5 brings an even greater speed and convenience to the test environment. "Over the past two years, Ranorex has added several highly valuable tools for testers and developers including Ranorex Recorder, WebSpy and SpyPro," said Jenö Herget, co-founder and managing director of Ranorex GmbH. "Now, with Version 1.5, Ranorex offers a single test environment that helps users create and maintain complete, automated test scenarios. This is our most powerful and efficient test interface yet."

Ranorex Spy, another tool within the Studio environment, is a Win32-based utility that instantly uncovers properties and other information about a selected GUI element.

Also new in Ranorex V1.5 is a "Validator" class addition to the application library that helps establish checkpoints for better est reporting. The new Validator addition not only makes code easier to read, but also eliminates potentially hundreds of lines of code.

With the new capability, users can validate information at a certain point; for example, checking expected values within a textbox or other visible text controls. All checkpoints using the Validator function report automatically in HTML to a single test result summary using either standard, or user-defined, messaging.
