Tosca Server features

Tosca Server is a bundle of complementary features that extends your test environment, scope, and execution. When you install Tosca Server, you install all features, but that doesn't mean you have to use all of them. You can pick and choose.

So let's take a look at what you get with Tosca Server.

Tosca Administration Console

The Tosca Administration Console is key to an efficient and scalable testing infrastructure.

The console includes Tricentis User Administration, which lets you centrally manage users across multiple repositories. This saves you time and effort as your testing efforts scale. The console also offers an automated migration feature that simplifies and speeds up the upgrade process.

Tosca License Administration

Tosca License Administration is an intuitive web interface for monitoring your licenses. It tells you whether you're using the licenses you bought—and who's using these licenses. This helps you optimize your license usage and ensures that you have enough licenses when you need them.

Tosca Distributed Execution

If you're serious about fast and continuous testing, you'll want Tosca Distributed Execution. It allows you to distribute the execution of your automated tests across all computing resources at your disposal, such as computers in your network, virtual machines, or the cloud.

Tricentis Test Data Service

Tricentis Test Data Service helps your teams create, design, locate, manage, and use consistent test data—fast. It's a centralized approach to test data management that speeds up your automation, especially in complex end-to-end testing scenarios or distributed environments.

  • Tricentis.TestDataService

Exploratory Testing

Exploratory Testing gives you a structured approach to large-scale exploratory testing with multiple agile teams. Testers can easily plan exploratory sessions, set charters and test objectives, automatically record test actions, and share detailed results. Tosca collects and stores all information in a central location.

  • Tricentis.ExporatoryTestingServer

Interactive Testing

Interactive Testing helps you coordinate manual test efforts in distributed teams, where not everybody is a full-blown tester—and not everybody has Tosca. Test managers set up sessions in Tosca and distribute tasks. Teams execute their tasks in an easy-to-use agent, which reports results back to Tosca. This gives you a single source of truth for evaluating the performance of your application under test.

Tosca Server Windows Service for this feature:

  • Tricentis.InteractiveTestingServer

Tricentis File Service

Tricentis File Service is a web-based application that stores your Tosca files in a separate file system. Testers can still access the files through their workspaces, but the files don't take up storage space, which keeps workspaces slim and improves their performance. So your testers can do their jobs without holdups.

Tosca Server Windows Service for this feature:

  • Tricentis.FileService

Tosca REST API 

The Tosca REST API is a powerful API that lets you extend Tosca and integrate it with other tools. For example, you can build your own program and use the REST API to steer Tosca: schedule or trigger tasks, download your results.

  • Tricentis.Tosca.RestApiService

Tosca Gateway

Tosca Gateway is a default feature of Tosca Server. If you use Tosca Server, you use Tosca Gateway. It’s a firewall and communication proxy that ensures safe, seamless communication between Tosca Server services and clients. It includes the Tosca Server landing page, which gives you easy access to Tosca Server features and configurations through a single web interface.

Tricentis Notification Service

Tricentis Notification Service is the data interface between Tricentis Tosca and other applications. It's a crucial component if you plan to integrate Tricentis Tosca with qTest, SAP Solution Manager, Tosca Dashboards, or qTest and VERA for pre-execution approval.
