What's new in Tosca Cloud

Unattended tests: Alternative to Autologon

You can now use loopback Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) as an alternative to Microsoft Autologon for unattended test runs. This option is ideal for environments where Autologon isn't permitted. Configure your team agent with loopback RDP to ensure reliable, uninterrupted test runs.

API test: Create module attributes from API messages

Create and reuse module attributes directly from your API messages in the API playground to build smarter test cases with less effort. By combining the technical view and API playground into one intuitive workflow, we eliminate the need for in-depth API knowledge. Build reusable automation faster and see results sooner.

Test your data sets with Data Integrity

You can now use Data Integrity in Tosca Cloud, giving you the ability to validate data quality and consistency directly in the cloud alongside your other automated testing assets. This ensures faster feedback on data issues and simplifies access for distributed teams.

Take a look at the Data Integrity assets we introduced:

• Data Integrity modules

• Data Integrity connections

• Custom data readers

• Report viewer

• Report exporter

Once your Data Integrity license is activated, you can upload existing Data Integrity tests from Tosca on-prem (opens in new tab) and run them in Tosca Cloud. Alternatively, you can set up your Tosca on-prem tests to run on Tosca Cloud (opens in new tab) saving on your local resources.

Create private workspaces

Now when you create a workspace, you can choose between two workspace types: open and private. Open workspaces have the same functionality as workspaces in the past, all users in your tenant have access. For private workspaces, only assigned users have access. Manage who has access on the Workspace users tab.

Enhanced values editing

We've added a helper to simplify adding control properties and dynamic values. Just select in your test step and use the dropdowns to make your test steps as intelligent and dynamic as the software that you're testing.

Improved playlist creation

We've streamlined the way you create playlists by adding your Inventory folder structure to the playlist builder. The left panel now mirrors your Inventory folders, making it easier to browse and drag test cases directly into your playlists.

Inventory API

Our new Inventory API makes it easy to access and search for assets in your workspace. You can quickly get a single asset, search by type, or look through several types at once. This helps you automate asset handling and integrate data when using the UI isn’t practical or possible.

Improved PDF table scanning

We've added an easier way to edit columns and rows when you scan tables in a PDF. Now, you can edit them when creating PDF modules.

Integrate CI/CD tools

You can now run tests automatically by integrating Tosca Cloud with a CI/CD pipeline, such as Jenkins. This integration streamlines repetitive tasks, so there's no need to log in, start tests manually, or track progress yourself.

Launcherimprovement

When you install Launcher, it now also installs the browser extensions for Chrome and Edge. This update simplifies setup required for Tosca Cloud.

Updated menu

The left menu has been reorganized to reflect an optimal workflow in Tosca Cloud. Explore the tools available in each workflow step and use Create to quickly create any asset in seconds.

Streamlined test case design

Design one, create many: our new business flow functionality helps you build a robust test suite with strong coverage, faster.

First, you define user activities and journeys through your application in a business flow. Its visual nature makes it easy to collaborate with stakeholders and align testing with real business goals. You’ll end up with a clear, actionable framework for high-priority testing scenarios.

Once everything's in place, you generate your test cases with a single click. And since a business flow is a living artifact, you can update it anytime and regenerate test cases as your application evolves.

New integrations page

You can now find all integrations on our new Integrations page. Go to User menu > Settings > Integrations to explore.

Scanning files

We've added support for scanning JSON and XML files. You can now scan and create modules from these file types.

Skip test steps

You can now skip any test step to exclude it from all trial and test runs. That means you can update and fine tune your test step until it's ready. Or streamline debugging by skipping any test steps you want.

Tricentis SeaLights integration

Our new integration with SeaLights can help you reduce the effort and cost of faster deployment:

• Skip tests that cover unchanged code to cut test cycle time.

• Focus only on relevant tests to troubleshoot and fix issues sooner.

Convert reusable test steps

You can now leverage your existing test cases and streamline your tests. This new feature lets you take any test step folder and convert it into a reusable test step. This means you can reuse the modules, values, and actions across multiple test cases. Updating the reusable test steps updates all test cases with those test steps.

It's also possible to convert your reusable test steps into test step folders. This lets you edit and fine tune test step values for a test case without changing your reusable test steps.

CPQ support available for Salesforce Scan

You can now automate key Salesforce CPQ scenarios with Salesforce Scan.

Launcherlog retention

We've changed Launcher so it only keeps local logs for a maximum of 10 days. This saves local storage on any machine where you install Launcher.

Tosca Cloud is now fully compatible with the latest versions of SAP GUI, SAP NWBC, SAP UI5, and Fiori. This means you can automate test cases smoothly, even when there are new software updates.

Module parent control identifiers are editable

You can now use the IdentifyingContext module property to manually update how Tosca Cloud identifies embedded elements during testing.

Easier access to Tosca XScan settings

We added a new access point to Tosca XScan settings in the Select Application window. This allows you to configure your preferred scan settings before you actually scan your application. So, you no longer need to open the scan, define your settings, and restart.

Automate test data

Get ready to become faster and more effective with our latest addition to Tosca Cloud: test data in the cloud.

Here's what this addition helps you achieve:

• Faster test cycles with less manual effort. Automate the process of creating, managing, and provisioning test data. Let your team focus on creating great tests instead of coming up with test data—or fixing hardcoded data in test cases.

• Enhanced test coverage. Build a broader range of test scenarios with diverse test data.

• Improved resource efficiency. Easily create subsets of various data sets to provide your team with smaller, more relevant data pools.

• Better scalability and data accessibility. Build and host your test data in the cloud.

Plus, we're excited to share a sneak peek at what's coming next. In the (near) future, you'll be able to streamline test case design: define your business flows, then generate test cases based on these business flows. Stay tuned for more updates!

Recovery scenarios

Make your test cases more reliable and stable by using recovery scenarios and cleanup scenarios. A recovery scenario tells Tosca Cloud what to do, test step by test step, when there's a failure. Use a cleanup scenario to make sure your system under test is ready for a test run. There's even a parameter to let you choose whether you want to retry on the test case, test step, or test step value level.

View dashboard data

The Tosca CloudHome page now features a dashboard that gives you a high-level view of activity in your selected workspace. For some sections, you can also customize the data by selecting a time frame.

Explore the dashboard sections to see a variety of data:
