Test Automation in Tosca

 🔍 What is Tosca?

Tosca is a continuous testing platform developed by Tricentis. It's widely used for functional and regression testing across various platforms like web, desktop, mobile, APIs, and enterprise applications (SAP, Salesforce, etc.).


✅ Key Features of Test Automation in Tosca:

1. Model-Based Test Automation

Tests are created using reusable components called Modules.


No scripting needed — test steps are created by dragging and dropping modules into Test Cases.


2. Reusability & Maintainability

Common steps and data can be reused across multiple test cases.


Changes in modules automatically update all linked test cases.


3. Test Data Management

Integrated Test Data Service (TDS) and data-driven testing capabilities.


Supports separation of test logic from data (e.g., Excel, databases, synthetic data generation).


4. Risk-Based Testing

Tosca supports Risk-Based Testing (RBT) to prioritize tests based on business risk and impact.


5. API & UI Testing

Combines API and UI testing in a single test case.


Supports REST, SOAP, and other API types.


6. CI/CD Integration

Integrates with tools like Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Jira, Git, and others for continuous testing.


7. Distributed Execution

Tosca Distributed Execution (DEX) allows parallel execution across multiple machines/VMs.


📌 Components in Tosca:

Component Description

Modules Reusable representations of UI elements or API endpoints.

Test Cases Built using modules and test steps.

Test Case Design Supports data-driven testing with templates and test sheets.

ExecutionLists Collections of test cases ready for execution.

Tosca Commander Main user interface for managing all test artifacts.

Test Data Service (TDS) Central repository for test data.


⚙️ Sample Workflow:

Scan Application: Use Tosca XScan to identify UI or API elements.


Create Modules: Automatically generated from scanning.


Design Test Cases: Drag and drop modules, define actions and validations.


Parameterize with Data: Use TestCaseDesign or Excel to drive test data.


Execute Tests: Run via ExecutionLists, CI tools, or Tosca Execution Server.


Report & Analyze: Analyze test results via Tosca Reports or integrate with dashboards.


📈 Benefits of Using Tosca:

No-code/low-code test creation.


High reusability and scalability.


Fast automation of complex workflows (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Salesforce).


Strong enterprise tool with broad technology support.
