I found another high end testing tool for Web and Windows applications called Ranorex. Their website is full of information and they even have a demo version for you to play with. Company profile seems very solid and their site is top 400.000 which isn’t to die for, but at least gives you a serious guarantee that you are not dealing with a pizza shop.

The full package includes many app for test customization through .NET scripts, and support for 3rd party controls like DevExpress and QT. It’s a bit expensive, at 980 Euro (Premium License) But its extensive list of features might deserve the big bucks.

You can now change the layout, increase contrast, or even hide certain elements to match your individual likes. The people from UI Patterns and Janko at Warp speed give us deep insight about this new possibility in UI design and user experience.
