Solution

In Ranorex Studio, a solution is the top-level container that contains all other test files. Solutions are organized into one or more projects.

Whenever creating a solution, we may identify the type of application we aim to test (e.g. desktop, web, mobile).

A solution has always a "test suite" project.


Project

A tailored place to organize test files.

A project can be of one of several types, including "test suite", which offer different capabilities.


Test suiteThe test suite is where you build, organize, and run your tests in Ranorex Studio. A test suite consists primarily of test cases.

Doesn't exist as an entity.

Will be visible and part of the definition of each Test issue.

Test caseA test, composed of Modules, which in turn are composed of Actions.Test issue.
Module

A modularized sequence of actions, that have a certain goal. Can be seen as a grouped sequence of steps in a test case.

Modules can be reused between Test cases.


ActionA step, inside a Module. Can be a mouse/keyboard interaction or a validation.
ValidationAn assertion, a validation.
Repository

A Repository contains Repository Items (i.e. UI elements) organized in a tree-like structure.

UI elements that contain other UI elements are represented as folders in the repository, with app folders acting as top-level elements and rooted folders as children.


Repository item

A representation of a user interface (UI) element used in a test.

Each repository item has a name and is defined by its RanoreXPath (i.e. path).

The overall result of a given test case will be available on the Test Run that will be created in Xray and associated to the correspoding Test issue.


Implementing tests

We will implement some automated tests for a dummy web site, providing an authentication mechanism that we aim to check, namelly the login and logout features.
