Set up transition to Tosca Cloud

We offer different integration options between Tosca on-premises and Tosca Cloud. If you choose the transition option, your team can upload on-premises test artifacts to the cloud.

To do this, you must first enable the connection between the two deployments. This topic tells you how.

Before you start

To enable the connection between a Tosca repository and Tosca Cloud, you need to have the following accounts: 

  • An administrator account for Tosca.

  • A user account for Tosca Cloud. This doesn't have to be an administrator account.

To disconnect a repository, you only need to have an administrator account for Tosca.

Enable the connection

To connect a repository to Tosca Cloud, follow these steps:

  1. Open a workspace in Tosca. This workspace must belong to the repository you want to connect to Tosca Cloud.

  2. Access the connection dialog in one of the following ways: 

    • Click on the Not connected to Tosca Cloud message in the lower-right corner of the status bar.

    • Right-click the project root element and select Connect to Tosca Cloud from the context menu.

  3. Enter your Tosca Cloud URL:

    https://<your tenant name>.my.tricentis.com

  4. Authenticate with the user credentials of your Tosca Cloud account.

You can connect multiple repositories to the same Tosca Cloud tenant. To connect additional repositories, repeat this process for the other repositories.

Handle timeouts

Tosca communicates with Tosca Cloud whenever you perform an integration-related task, such as connecting the repository or uploading a TestCase. By default, Tosca tries to complete this communication within two minutes and times out if it can't.

If two minutes aren't enough for your use case, define a different interval in the Timeout setting at Project->Settings->Tosca Cloud Integration.

You need to adapt the setting in all workspaces where users experience timeouts. Alternatively, you can create project settings that apply to all workspaces connected to the repository.

Disconnect a repository

If you don't want your team to upload tests from a particular repository anymore, you need to disconnect it from Tosca Cloud. You can simply end the connection to Tosca Cloud, or you can deactivate the functionality altogether:

  • End the connection if you want to stop your team from uploading from this repository. To do this, right-click the project root element and select Disconnect from Tosca Cloud from the context menu.

  • Deactivate connections altogether if you want to keep your team from accidentally connecting this repository again. To do this, go to Project->Options->ToscaCloudAddin and deselect the Enabled checkbox. You need to do this in all workspaces that have access to this repository.

What's next

Now that you've established the connection, your team can start uploading.
