The Ranorex Studio user interface

Let’s take a quick look at the different elements of the Ranorex Studio user interface.

Test suite view
The test suite is where you build and control your tests. Your test suite already comes with a simple test case that contains three recording modules: StartAUT starts the Demo Application, Recording1 will contain the test actions we’ll record in the next chapter, and CloseAUT closes the Demo Application.

Click the tab Recording1.rxrec to switch to the recording module view.

Projects pad
The projects pad displays all projects, folders, references, and files associated with your test solution.

Module browser pad
The module browser provides quick access to all modules and module groups sorted by project.

Recording module view – actions table
This view is where you fill your recording module with actions and edit them. They are listed chronologically in an “actions table.”

Recording module view – repository
The repository contains all repository items that are referenced by actions. Repository items represent UI elements.

Output pad
This panel displays build information, errors, debug information, and search results.

Tutorial panel
This panel shows a quick tutorial that guides you through the first steps of building a test. While you are going through “Ranorize Yourself in 20 Minutes,” you don’t need to worry about it.
