Tricentis Tosca is a software testing tool that is used to automate end-to-end testing for applications. It is developed by Tricentis.
Tricentis Tosca combines multiple aspects of software testing, from test case design, to test automation, to reporting and analytics. It is used to test GUIs and APIs from a business perspective. Two of the most frequently-noted technologies used in Tricentis Tosca are model-based testing and risk-based testing.
Model-Based Testing
Instead of using scripting for test automation, it applies a model-based testing approach and creates a model of the application under test. Technical details about the system under test, test case logic, and test data are saved separately and joined together at test execution time. When the application under test changes, the technical details are updated once in the central model. Since the tests inherit from this model, the various tests that use this model do not need to be manually updated. [3]
Risk-Based Testing
Based on a risk assessment of the application under tests’s requirements, Tricentis Tosca uses risk-based test design to suggest the most effective test cases and identify the risk contribution of each test cases. It also uses a variety of methodologies (such as equivalence partitioning, boundary tests, combinatorial methods such as linear expansion) to try to minimize the number of test cases while increasing risk coverage. After tests execute, the tool aggregates risk coverage from business, technical, performance and compliance perspectives. [4]
Additional Technologies
Tricentis Tosca also features technologies for GUI Testing, API Testing, Mobile Testing Service Virtualization, Test Data Management, and Exploratory Testing. [5][1]
