What's new in Tosca Cloud

Test data management

Make your test data last longer with the new Test data - Find and provide item module. This module allows you to use multiple rows from the same data source for the same test case.

Updated handling for dynamic expressions in passwords

By default, Tosca Cloud now no longer fails a test step if there's an invalid dynamic expression . Tosca Cloud leaves the original password unchanged. This new default behavior minimizes the risk of password leaks because of invalid syntax.

For backwards compatibility, you can create the following environmental variable where you run your tests: TBOX_FORWARD_PASSWORD_WITHOUT_PARSING = False. With this environmental variable, Tosca Cloud shows exceptions like it always has.

Support for the ARIA role treegrid

We've added support for the ARIA role treegrid as a TableTree control. This allows Tosca Cloud to recognize and interact with complex hierarchical data grids.

Improved Inventory

Get full visibility into your modules, reusable test steps and test cases by accessing the new Inventory page. View key information about your assets at a glance and group, move or update them in no time.

Test case editor API

We've made our API available for creating and managing modules, test cases, and reusable test steps. This gives you more ways to automate and integrate your test cases.

Improved name editing for playlists

You can now easily change the name of your playlist by clicking the pencil icon next to it on the top left corner of the Playlists page. This makes editing more intuitive and gives you more control.

Create playlists faster

It's now even more intuitive to create a new playlist. Instead of seeing modal prompts, you can now directly create a playlist, which makes the process easier.

Japan now available as a data region

When registering for Tosca Cloud you can now select Japan as your region. If your team is based in Japan, it means your data will be stored locally and processed with faster response times.

View data region on My plan page

Admin users can now see their data region in the top right corner of the My plan page. This makes it easy to see where your data is stored and processed.

Manage mobile connections

Creating and configuring mobile connections is now easier than ever. Access the new Mobile page and set up local or cloud device connections with just a few clicks.

Improved text box scanning for Host applications

We've made scanning and steering Host text boxes more consistent for your test cases. Tosca XScan now creates your Host modules based on the Content Preview.

Duplicate module attributes

Creating and editing modules just got faster and easier! You can now duplicate any module attribute and quickly customize it to your needs.

DokuSnapper improvements

We've made a few updates to DokuSnapper:

• A new look for buffer test steps in your DokuSnapper reports. You can use a new test case parameter to display a table with information about your buffer for these test steps.

• More clarity and consistency for test case start and end times in reports. You can use test case parameters to define how Tosca Cloud formats time in your reports.

Customizable reports in PDF, Word, and Excel

You can customize reports, get screenshots of each test step, and have your report in PDF, Word, or Excel format. Simply enable "DokuSnapper" with a test case parameter and have your report in the Attachments tab or on your local machine.

Parameter overwrite per run via API

You can now overwrite parameters for each run using Tosca Cloud API. This gives you the flexibility to change input values between runs, without touching the original test case or playlist.

Vision AI scanning

Create stable, self-healing modules for any UI with Vision AI. After scanning, Vision AI can reconize and steer controls based on their visual components, making automation and testing more reliable.

WebDriver scanning

We've added WebDriver to the scanning options. You can now create modules for remote browsers and embedded applications.

Australia now available as a data region

When registering for Tosca Cloud you can now select Australia as your region. If your team is based in Australia, it means your data will be stored locally and processed with faster response times.

Improved standard modules

We're now automatically updating standard modules to the latest version, so they're always up to date.

Also, we've moved them from the Modules tab to the Standard objects tab of the test case editor. The Modules tab now only contains modules you created manually or by scanning, as well as modules you uploaded from Tosca on-prem.

Generate test cases with Tosca Agentic Test Automation

We introduced Tosca Agentic Test Automation, a generative AI assistant that you can interact with via chat. With your prompts, Tosca Agentic Test Automation can quickly generate test cases, speeding up your test authoring process. Try generating a test case and check out these two key features:

• For all test case generation, Co-create is the default mode, visible at the bottom of the chat window. While using Co-create, Tosca Agentic Test Automation will describe each step and ask for your verification to proceed, allowing you to collaborate with the AI assistant for more precise results.

• For test cases generated for SAP Fiori applications, Tosca Agentic Test Automation generates a set of work steps, outlining the steps it will follow to create your test case. You can edit the work steps or proceed with them as they are.

Support for cloud service provider capabilities

You can now use the test case parameter WebDriverJson_<ProviderOptionsTag> to manage the capabilities of any cloud service provider, greatly expanding your control during remote testing.

Support for ARIA role treegrid

We introduced support for the ARIA role treegrid. Tosca Cloud handles it as a table tree control, optimizing the way Tosca Cloud steers web applications.

WebDriver support for application scanning

You can now select WebDriver when scanning applications.

Extended validation period for license activation codes

You can now take your time when activating your Tosca Cloud license.

Work with AI

Interact with Tosca Cloud directly from AI assistants like Cursor AI and Visual Studio Code. Use natural language to generate test cases, analyze failures, run tasks, and simulate APIs—all without leaving your development environment.

Bulk edit user roles

Admins can now select multiple users and assign them the same role in one step.

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.

Launcher log 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.

Monitor testing status in SAP Solution Manager

We've made it easier for you to track your test status and progress right in the Tosca Cloud interface.

Import and export test cases

You can now import and export test cases, which are compatible also with Tosca on-prem. Note that you can't import or export screenshots, secrets, and objects larger than 10MB.

SAP Solution Manager compatibility improvement

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.

April 2025

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 Cloud Home 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:

• Results from your most recent playlist runs.

• A list of playlists scheduled to run next.

• Statistics and recent activity related to your test artifacts.

Additional automation support

We've added support for more technologies. Here's what your tests can now also cover:

• PDF

• Mobile

• Image-based test automation

• Remote terminal

Allow read-only access

Now, you can give relevant stakeholders read-only access to up-to-date data and testing results without worrying about your limits for user seats. The viewer role no longer consumes a Tosca Cloud seat.

Enhanced modules

Manage modules more effectively, extend automation coverage, and seamlessly update test cases as you edit modules with these new features:

• View module configurations, including attributes and properties, and easily create test cases with significantly improved automation coverage.

• Fully manage and control your modules by editing the module properties.

• Automatically update all test cases that use edited or updated modules, which enables efficient change management at scale.

API simulation

You can now easily simulate interactions with dependent components that are unavailable, under development, or evolving. This reduces the cost of AI implementation and exploration, enables testing before services are available, reduces the cost of using connected services, and helps verify API service performance.

API testing

We've improved the API testing experience for you:

• Add verification to your API tests with an intuitive visual builder, complete with real-time feedback and detailed error insight. This new process requires less coding knowledge.

Enhanced Tosca Cloud trial

Now, anyone who creates a trial for Tosca Cloud will begin their journey in Tosca Cloud, instead of in Tosca on-prem. Create your Tosca Cloud trial, explore in-product guides, and begin creating and running tests.

You can also start a trial of Tosca on-prem directly from Tosca Cloud. Use the instructions in the On-premises trial quick start guide on the Tosca Cloud home page to get started.
