Case Study: Control4 achieves reliable, low-maintenance cross-technology test automation with Ranorex
A Ranorex Case Study
How Control4 found their way to test automation success with Ranorex Studio
Control4, a leading provider of smart‑home operating systems, needed robust test automation across a heterogeneous stack (Flex, Flash, ASP.NET, Java, and WinForms), including dynamic Flex Advanced Data Grids and integration with .NET Web Services. Prior tools like Rational Functional Tester and FlexMonkey lacked stable object recognition, WinForms support, and generated high‑maintenance tests, so Control4 struggled to automate reliable UI and non‑UI testing.
Control4 adopted Ranorex Studio, using RanorexPath and C# scripting to build resilient object maps, full support for Advanced Data Grids, and native testing against .NET Web Services—allowing useful tests to be automated within hours. The result was more stable, lower‑maintenance tests, more accurate tracking of WinForms dialogs, and improved integrated reporting via Test Case Manager, enabling standardized libraries, clearer test structure, and actionable QA results.
