Ranorex GmbH is an Austrian information technology company that produces test automation software. The company headquarters are in Graz, Austria's second-largest city and capital of the federal state of Steiermark (Styria). Ranorex also has a US subsidiary, Ranorex Inc., located in Clearwater, Florida. As of September 2017, more than 3,500 customers in over 60 countries were using the company's flagship product, Ranorex Studio.
In 2004, Ranorex co-founder Jenö Herget was a programmer working on a software development team in Graz. The team wanted to automate the repetitive tasks inherent in software testing. Since Herget could find no suitable product on the market, he wrote his own testing tool. Convinced that there was a need for this type of product and assisted by his son Gabor Herget, Jenö Herget expanded the product and made it publicly-available online for free in 2006 under the name "Ranorex". Reception of this early version was positive, earning recognition at the 2006 .NET conference in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, the BASTA. With assistance from EOSS Industries Holding GmbH, Jenö and Gabor Herget founded Ranorex in September 2007. At the time of the company founding, Ranorex was both the name of the company and of its flagship software testing product. The first team members were Christoph Preschern, Michael Gissing, and Alexander Hoisl.
One year after the company's founding, 90 percent of sales were to customers outside of Austria; as a result, Ranorex was recognized by the Styrian Chamber of Commerce with the Styrian Export Award in 2008.
In October 2017, Ranorex was purchased by IDERA, Inc. for an undisclosed sum.
In December 2015, Ranorex was identified as a "niche player" in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Test Automation.
Ranorex was recognized as one of "Austria's Best Employers" in the small business category in 2016, and in the medium business category in 2017, by the Great Place to Work® organization.
In May 2017, the Federation of Austrian Industry listed Ranorex among 91 "IT gazelles," or fast-growing IT companies in Austria that had at least 10 employees in 2010, and experienced staff growth of at least 80 percent between 2010 and 2016.
In July 2017, Zion Market Research identified Ranorex as a key player in the global automated software testing market.
