Through hands-on activities, interactive discussions, and real-world case examples, you'll explore tools like retry mechanisms, error handling, and dynamic data management to build scalable and resilient automation processes. Whether you're streamlining automation pipelines or handling complex test environments, this course will help you develop strategies to optimize, scale, and recover from test failures—ensuring consistent, reliable test results in unpredictable conditions.

Syllabus

Lesson 1: Mastering Distributed Execution and CI/CD Integration in Tosca

In this introductory lesson, we will focus on mastering the distributed execution (TCI) and CI/CD pipeline integration features in Tricentis Tosca. You will learn how to distribute your test execution across multiple environments using Tosca’s distributed execution feature, enhancing the scalability and efficiency of your test automation framework. Additionally, we'll cover how to seamlessly integrate Tosca with Jenkins and Azure DevOps to enable continuous testing within CI/CD pipelines, ensuring faster and more reliable test cycles. By the end of this lesson, you will have a deep understanding of how to optimize test automation at scale through distributed execution and CI/CD integration.

Lesson 2: Advanced API and Database Testing with Tosca

In this lesson, we will explore how to develop and customize Tosca modules for API and database testing. You will learn how to create robust Tosca modules tailored for testing RESTful APIs, SOAP services, and complex database queries. The lesson will cover advanced techniques for parameterization and validation, ensuring your tests are comprehensive and reliable. We will also delve into how to customize these modules to handle real-world scenarios, including integrating them into your overall test automation framework. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to develop highly efficient and reusable Tosca testcases not modules for both API and database testing, ensuring your automation covers a wide range of critical application layers.

Lesson 3: Mastering Failure-Resilient TestCases and Recovery Scenarios

In this lesson, we will explore how to master failure-resilient TestCases and recovery scenarios within Tricentis Tosca. As test automation grows in complexity, ensuring your tests can recover from failures is critical for maintaining reliability and efficiency. In this lesson, you will learn how to design and implement TestCases that can handle common failures like network issues, timeouts, and unexpected data discrepancies. You will gain hands-on experience with Tosca’s advanced features for creating recovery scenarios—automated mechanisms that allow your tests to continue execution after encountering an error or failure. By the end of this lesson, you will be equipped to build failure-resilient TestCases that automatically recover from disruptions, ensuring smooth and continuous test cycles even in complex environments. You'll also learn to set up monitoring and notification systems to track failures in real-time and take proactive action to resolve issues. This lesson will empower you to design more robust and reliable automation processes that reduce the impact of failures, ensuring your tests maintain consistent accuracy and performance across diverse testing environments.
