Test Automation in Tosca

🧪 Test Automation in Tosca

🔹 What is Tosca?

Tosca is a model-based test automation tool developed by Tricentis. It allows testers to automate functional, regression, API, and end-to-end tests without writing code. Tosca is widely used in enterprise environments for fast, scalable, and maintainable test automation.


🔹 Key Features of Tosca

Feature Description

Model-Based Testing Create reusable models of your application instead of scripts

Scriptless Automation No coding required; test cases are built using drag-and-drop

Cross-Technology Support Supports web, desktop, mobile, SAP, APIs, and more

Risk-Based Testing Focuses testing on areas with higher business risk

Test Data Management Built-in data generation and management tools

CI/CD Integration Integrates with Jenkins, Azure DevOps, etc. for continuous testing


🔹 How Test Automation Works in Tosca

✅ 1. Scan the Application

Use Tosca’s Scan tool to explore and map UI elements of your application. This creates a Module, which is a reusable object model of the UI.


✅ 2. Create Test Cases

Drag and drop Modules into a Test Case folder.


Enter input values and expected results directly in the test steps.


Tosca will use this to run automated interactions.


✅ 3. Assign Test Data

Use TestCase Design to separate test logic and data.


Create data combinations using Templates and Instances.


✅ 4. Execute Tests

Run tests on different environments or machines using ExecutionLists.


Results are stored and can be viewed in detail (pass/fail, screenshots, logs).


✅ 5. Review and Maintain

Reuse Modules to avoid redundancy.


Update Modules once if the UI changes; all related tests update automatically.


🔹 Types of Testing Supported by Tosca

Type Description

GUI Testing Automate tests for web, desktop, mobile apps

API Testing Create and run tests on REST/SOAP APIs

Database Testing Validate data directly from DBs (SQL, Oracle, etc.)

End-to-End Testing Combine UI, API, DB in a single flow

Performance Testing With Tosca NeoLoad integration


🔹 Key Concepts in Tosca

Term Meaning

Module Reusable component for UI/API elements

Test Case Sequence of steps using Modules

Execution List Group of test cases to execute

TestSheet/TestCaseDesign Data-driven testing management

Test Configuration Parameter (TCP) Dynamic control of test runs

Business Component Reusable test block for model-based automation


🔹 Advantages of Tosca Test Automation

✅ Scriptless – good for non-technical testers


✅ Fast test creation with reusable Modules


✅ Easy maintenance and updates

✅ Rich reporting and dashboard options


🔹 Sample Use Case: Automating a Login Test

Scan the login screen → Create Module (Username, Password, Login Button)


Create Test Case:


Set Username: testuser


Set Password: password123


Click Login


Verify successful login text or URL


Add test data variations using TestCaseDesign


Add to ExecutionList and run


🔹 Integration and DevOps Support

CI/CD tools: Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab


Test management: JIRA, qTest


Reporting: HTML reports, Tosca Analytics, dashboard views


✅ Summary

Tosca provides a powerful, no-code approach to test automation, with features like:


Model-based testing


Cross-platform and API support


Reusable test components


Test data and configuration management


It’s ideal for enterprise-level automation, especially in complex business environments with high regulatory or quality standards.

Handling Frames and Iframes Using Playwright

Handling Frames and Iframes Using Playwright When automating modern web applications, you’ll often come across frames or iframes—HTML elements used to embed another HTML document within the current page. If you're using Playwright for browser automation, knowing how to handle frames properly is crucial for interacting with elements inside them. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to identify, access, and interact with frames and iframes using Playwright with code examples in JavaScript and Python. 🧾 What Are Frames and Iframes? <frame>: Rarely used now; part of the outdated <frameset> HTML structure. <iframe> (inline frame): Embeds another HTML page inside the current one. Common for third-party content like ads, maps, or payment gateways. 🎯 Why Frames Matter in Automation Elements inside an iframe are not part of the main DOM, so trying to interact with them directly will result in errors unless you switch the context to the frame. 🔍 Locating an Iframe in Pla...
