Foundations of Tricentis Tosca Automation

Overview

Foundations of Tricentis Tosca Automation is a beginner-level course designed for QA professionals, manual testers, and junior automation engineers who want to get started with scriptless test automation using Tricentis Tosca. Taught by experienced Tosca practitioners, this course introduces you to the platform’s core components and workflow, helping you build a solid foundation in automated functional testing. Through guided walkthroughs, scenario-based videos, and hands-on activities, you’ll learn how to create Modules, scan applications under test (AUTs), build TestCases with TestSheets, and manage test data using Tosca’s TestCase Design framework. You’ll also discover how to run your first ExecutionLists, analyze test results using logs, and report defects effectively. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to automate tests across web, desktop, and API layers using Tosca’s no-code interface—kick-starting your journey into scalable, maintainable test automation.

Syllabus

Lesson 1: Setting Up Tosca & Creating Your First Modules

In this introductory lesson, learners will be introduced to Tricentis Tosca’s architecture, learn how to install and navigate Tosca Commander, and understand how to scan applications under test (AUTs) to generate reusable Modules. They will complete their first test automation setup by scanning a basic application and organizing Modules effectively for future TestCases.

Lesson 2: CI/CD Integration with Tosca: Automating Quality with Confidence

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to integrate Tosca automated testing into CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, secure, and consistent software delivery. You’ll explore how to configure Distributed Execution (TCI), embed quality gates, and manage test execution across different environments—all without writing complex scripts. By the end, you’ll be able to construct a CI/CD workflow that catches issues early, improves test reliability, and supports Agile and DevOps practices at scale.

Lesson 3: Executing & Evaluating Tests with Tosca Commander

In this final lesson, you’ll learn how to execute automated test runs using Tosca Commander and evaluate the results using built-in reporting features. We’ll explore how to manage ExecutionLists, interpret execution logs, and validate outcomes against business expectations. You’ll also review test coverage, failure diagnostics, and how Tosca integrates with dashboards for real-time visibility. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to confidently assess test results and translate them into actionable feedback for your team or stakeholders.
