What is Ranorex?
 What is Ranorex ?
- Ranorex is a software testing tool that allows you perform functional testing on desktop, web or mobile
applications in a single license. It supports many user interface (UI) technologies that includes Java, HTML,
C#, Flex/Flash, Android, iOS and Silverlight.

 Automate tests on a Windows desktop, and then execute them locally or remotely, on real iOS or Android
mobile devices or simulators/emulators. Run tests in parallel for fast results. Accelerate cross-browser
testing for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and more with built-in Selenium WebDriver.
 Ranorex Ide supports C# and VB.NET.

Ranorex recorder:
 The Ranorex Recorder is a tool used to record and replay the keyboard and mouse actions
during a manual test of the user interface. You can start the recorder independently or from
the Studio interface. The recorder operates from a small window with controls that you can
activate with your mouse or with shortcuts. During the recording you can create checkpoint
with the validate action. These validations can be done with the status of the elements of the
user interface or you can validate images or screen regions of an application.

Ranorex Spy:
 The Ranorex Spy provides the tool needed to explore and analyze your code and user
interface whether it is a Windows, mobile or web application.
Ranorex Test Suite Runner:
 The Ranorex Test Suite Runner allows you to run the test suite independently from Ranorex
Studio that can be done with only a runtime floating license. Each run of a test suite produces
a test report. Tests can also be run from the command line if you want to integrate them with
other tools like test management tools (HP Quality Center, etc.) or continuous integration
servers (TeamCity, Jenkins, etc.).
