About Ranorex
Ranorex is a commercial GUI test automation tool for desktop, web and mobile applications. It is used by QA teams and test engineers to automate user interface tests across the types of application they ship, instead of relying only on manual checks.
As a commercial product, it is not free software; the vendor publishes a pricing page with current options. It is aimed at teams that want a dedicated tool for UI regression testing rather than building a framework from scratch.
