Get started

Adding artificial intelligence to your testing efforts is quick and easy.

Here's what you need to get started:

  • An administrator account for Tosca Cloud.

  • Screen display settings: scale set to 100% and resolution set to 1920 x 1080. If you're using multiple monitors, all monitors must have the same resolution.

When you meet these requirements, use the following instructions to access Tosca Agentic Test Automation.

Get Launcher

The Launcher installation includes all the necessary components to run Tosca Agentic Test Automation.

To install it, follow these steps:

  1. Select  Downloads from the top menu.

  2. In the pop up menu, find Launcher Installer and select Download.

  3. Install Launcher:

    • For GUI installations, double-click the LauncherSetup.exe file in your downloads folder and then follow the on-screen instructions.

    • For unattended installation, use the package management tool of your choice. Make sure to add the parameter --silent to your installation command. For example, LauncherSetup.exe --silent.

And you're done! Tosca Cloud silently updates Launcher when needed.

Manage browser settings

To allow Tosca Agentic Test Automation to do its best work, you need to make adjustments to your browser settings. You can use either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Allow browser notifications

Enable browser notifications so Tosca Agentic Test Automation can alert you when it needs instructions and keep your tests moving.

To allow browser notifications, adjust settings both in your browser and on your local machine.

The following instructions apply specifically to Google Chrome.

  1. Select the menu button in the top of the window and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

  2. Select Privacy and security from the left menu and then Site permissions.

  3. Select Notifications and then scroll down to the section Allowed to send notifications.

  4. Select Add and paste the web address for your Tosca Cloud domain.

  1. Select Add to save.

These instructions are specific to Windows operating systems. The process may vary from system to system.

  1. Open Settings and go to System > Notifications.

  2. Turn on Notifications and turn off Do not disturb.

  3. Check Focus to be sure there are no active focus sessions.

Adjust Microsoft Edge browser settings

If you use Microsoft Edge, you must disable the rounded corners feature. Vision-based automation like Tosca Agentic Test Automation is sensitive to pixel-level differences and will perform poorly if it can't successfully detect contours and dialog borders.

Follow these instructions to disable rounded corners:

  1. Open Microsoft Edge and enter edge://flags in the address bar.

  2. Search for rounded.

  3. Set Microsoft Edge rounded corners to Disabled.

Access Tosca Agentic Test Automation

After you've installed Launcher, you can access Tosca Agentic Test Automation from a few places in Tosca Cloud:

  • The icon in the top menu.

  • The Generate test case button on the Test cases page.

The first time you use Tosca Agentic Test Automation, you'll need to accept the Terms of Use before beginning.

Check your AI credits

Tosca Agentic Test Automation tracks your usage with AI credits. Each test interaction costs one credit. This includes clicks, text inputs, verifications, and buffer actions. All interactions count, even if they don't match your original test intent.

To check your credit status, go to the Tosca Agentic Test Automation settings. It shows you the following information:

  • Total credits assigned to your account.

  • Credits remaining.

Tosca Agentic Test Automation shows a warning when your balance drops below 5,000 credits.

If you reach 0 credits during a session, you can finish that session. New sessions are blocked until you add more credits.
