Do i need to write some code in addition to Ranorex Code ?

Post by Venkatesh Katpally » Mon Aug 15, 2016 4:52 pm

Hi All,

I am new to Ranorex. After recording a scenario in Ranorex, can I do the Automation testing with the default code generated by Ranorex or do i have to write some coding in addition to that ?

Hi,

As long as you are happy with recorded scenarios, you should not be needed to write any additional code. However, soon or later, you will find some showstoppers and limitations of record-only approach. Many things are way easier to do with simple for...next loop and if...then...else conditions. So it's definitely a good idea to start learning C# basics. And why I'm recommending C# and not VB .Net? Because if you check this forum, you will quickly realize that at least 90% (if not more) code-related topics are in C# ;) So there is a better chance to find answers on code-related questions.
