Tosca Modules: What They Are and How to Use Them

✅ Tosca Modules: What They Are and How to Use Them

🔹 What are Tosca Modules?

In Tosca (by Tricentis), Modules are the building blocks of automation. A module represents a UI element (like a button, input field, or table) or a non-UI control (like a database or API call) that you want to interact with in your test cases.


Modules store technical information about application controls, such as:


Control name (e.g., “Username field”)


Type (e.g., text box, button)


Properties (e.g., ID, name, class, XPath)


🔹 Types of Modules in Tosca

Type Description

Standard Modules Prebuilt modules provided by Tosca (e.g., file operations, Excel operations)

Custom Modules Created by scanning the Application Under Test (AUT)

XModules Technical representation of scanned UI elements

Business Modules Abstracted reusable logic, often created by combining multiple modules


🔹 How to Create Tosca Modules

✅ 1. Scan the Application

Open Tosca’s Tosca XScan tool.


Choose the window or browser screen to scan.


Hover over and select UI elements (e.g., username input, login button).


Save the scanned elements — these become XModules.


✅ 2. Use Standard Modules

Tosca provides built-in modules for:


File operations


Excel reading/writing


Web service/API testing


DB queries


These are found in the Standard Module folder.


🔹 How to Use Modules in Test Cases

Open your TestCase section.


Drag a module from the Modules folder into a TestStep.


Fill in the Input values or Verification conditions.


For example:


Field Action Value

Username Input admin

Password Input password123

Login Btn Click


🔹 Best Practices for Using Modules

Use naming conventions for easy identification.


Keep technical modules (XModules) separate from business modules.


Re-use modules across multiple test cases.


Update modules regularly if the application UI changes.


✅ Summary

Feature Description

Modules Represent UI or backend components

Created by Scanning applications or using Standard Modules

Used in TestSteps for execution

Benefits Reusability, maintainability, abstraction of controls

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...
