Wildcards

Wildcards are a stand-in for other characters. They're especially handy for these things: 

• Simplifying a search or a data match. For example, to look for any column whose name starts with Order.

• Increasing the stability of controls you identify by property. For example, to replace session-based information in a property value. This ensures that Tosca Cloud can find the control at runtime, even if its property now has different session-based information.

To use a wildcard in Tosca Cloud, enter an * asterisk. You can use wildcards in the following cases:

• In values that you enter in a test step.

• In column identifiers for table cell identification.

• In property values during the scan with Tosca XScan.

• In the values of properties, if you identify controls by properties.

You can enter more than one wildcard. For example, *Tricentis*.

Note that if the asterisk in your value functions as a special character and not a wildcard, you need to escape it. For example, if you want to insertTric*ntis as plain text into your application.
