Tosca Automation 405i5k

TOSCA Automation Introduction Automation can be defined as the technology by which a process or procedure is performed without human assistance. For many software projects, test automation is becoming a vital part of the development process. This is because it enables teams to functionality, test for regression and run tests simultaneously in an efficient way. In this document, we are explaining about TOSCA Automation tool. This document depict about advantage, working model and best practices used for TOSCA Automation.

Problem Faced Regression and Integration testing being the core part of testing life cycle, takes considerable amount of time and efforts. This may impact the cost and timelines of the project .To overcome these issues, we prefer the automation testing. There are various automation tools available in market. For example: Tosca, Selenium, UFT etc.

Solution Approach/ Remedial Action Tosca is not just a solution that has functional superiority over other tools on the market in order to achieve higher test automation. Tosca’s disruptive approach is an enabler for optimized processes in the area of functional tests. By optimized processes we mean:  Implement highly effective and automated processes in the digital DEV-TEST-DEPLOYMENT organizations that enable real “continuous testing” as it is required in our agile- and DevOps driven world  Utilize/enable manual testers (majority of testers) to become the automation experts who achieve automation rates of 85+% due to it’s unique “model based test automation approach” – again a key requirement to deliver on the DevOps promise  Ability to directly address the effectiveness of the functional test by implementing “easy to use and adopt” methodologies that result in the design of only those test cases that are required to

achieve the desired risk coverage of the various test case portfolios (massive reduction of number of test cases while achieving tangible risk coverage of 90+%)

Benefits Quantitative Benefits Tricentis Tosca is a Continuous Testing platform that accelerates testing to keep pace with Agile and DevOps. With the industry’s most innovative functional testing technologies, Tricentis Tosca breaks through the barriers experienced with conventional software testing tools. Compare Tricentis Tosca vs Other Automation Tool Automation and Maintainability

Qualitative Benefits 1. Script less automation 2. Easy to learn, so you can train your team within very less time compared to QTP/UFT and selenium. So you can start automation very early. 3. Model based automation, you do not need to write framework for this. It is already present. 4. Reusability of assets and copy-paste features for test cases and modules 5. Test management and manual testing is also present. 6. Can be integrated with HP ALM, can run selenium scripts 7. A complete Test Management tool i.e. tracing requirements, managing test data, storing test casesautomated as well as Manual, managing logs of execution and binding defects with the Test cases/Execution results.

8. Mass updates - Tosca provides its own query language same as SQL called as TQL. You can change many test cased together using this. 9. Provides the ease of customization of reports, according to the requirements 10. Can easily find the critical and high defect in early stage of regression testing or integration which can save time and effort

Learning/ Improvements  We learnt how to use TOSCA as a complete Management tool starting from Requirement ->Test Csae design ->Test Case Creation ->Execution ->Reporting issue->Status Report which can help to track the project similar SDLC model.  We have prepared the TOSCA Automation Script for IOS application

Applicability to Other Projects TOSCA Automation tools can be used to automate any kind of application/Window/IOS application in which we perform Sanity/Regression/Integration Testing
