Optimizing Agile Testing with Tricentis Tosca

Written by Anil Raghavendra Kulkarni | May 21, 2024 1:19:45 PM

Is your Company struggling to retain the right resources for manual testing, given endless test scripts, tight developmental cycles, and immense pressure on the testers? Inconsistency in manual testing leads to unidentified bugs, integration intricacies, human errors, and expensive mistakes, which are some of the issues attached to manual testing.

The global agile test automation market is expected to reach $49 billion by 2025. To catch this wave companies are adopting Technological Advancements like AI-driven test automation, Machine learning-based Operational enhancements, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

CirrusLabs has been working with numerous clients on implementations and consulting projects globally. As Agile-certified partners, we have adopted testing methods and automation software to help clients achieve maximum process output.

Tricentis Tosca to the Rescue

AI-driven Tosca by Tricentis is a comprehensive software testing tool designed to streamline and automate Agile testing processes. Tosca plays a crucial role in Agile testing by providing a visual model of your application's functionality, automating repetitive test cases, and adapting to application UI changes. Tricentis Tosca has been working with CirrusLabs on multiple projects. They always simplified the adoption of Agile testing methodologies for our clients.

Unique Features of Tosca

Some of the unique selling propositions of Tosca that make it highly regarded amongst Agile testers are:

  • AI-driven Capabilities: Beyond automation, Tricentis Tosca offers a powerful edge with its integrated AI capabilities. Risk-based testing, which focuses on providing additional testing and self-transformative test scripts, adjusts to UI changes automatically. This allows for a reduction in maintenance overheads and accurate tests even after system updates.
  • Based Automation: With Tricentis Tosca, you can effortlessly create a visual model of your application's functionality, eliminating the need to write scripts. This user-friendly feature allows testers and developers to easily understand the model, and it automatically adapts to changes in the application's UI, saving testers coding efforts.
  • Reduced Manual Effort: Tricentis Tosca takes care of many repetitive test cases, freeing testers' time to focus on more strategic tasks like exploratory testing and test design. This helps save time spent testing.
  • Seamless Maintenance: Maintaining code-based automation scripts can be time-consuming. Tosca's model-based approach simplifies maintenance and saves time.
  • Flexibility: Tricentis Tosca has self-healing mechanisms that adjust to UI modifications, and service virtualization fills in for missing APIs during testing. Vision AI, a cutting-edge UI driver, recognizes UI elements based on visual characteristics, making tests adaptable even with significant UI transformations. This helps testers adapt to different scenarios effectively. 
  • Integration with Agile Workflows: Tricentis Tosca is designed to work harmoniously with popular Agile tools and methodologies. It is easily integrated into existing workflows, making testing simpler.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Tricentis Tosca allows automating tests and reducing maintenance overhead by empowering Agile teams to achieve higher test coverage and deliver faster feedback loops.

Tricentis Tosca vs. Open-Source Tools

Tricentis Tosca competes with open-source testing tools like Selenium. However, they can complement each other in testing processes. Tosca is particularly effective in highly dynamic environments and complex test flows, while Selenium may be more suitable for simpler automation tasks. However, Tosca comes at a cost compared to open-source software, and its support community may be smaller for developers facing problems. 

The Allure of Tricentis Tosca

Several benefits of Tricentis Tosca make it an attractive solution for Agile testing:

  • Script Automation helped achieve Exceptional Automation Rates of up to 90% with Tosca.
  • The Power of AI and Machine Learning helped leverage AI for self-healing tests and machine learning Risk-Based Testing.
  • Data Integrity Testing allows functional testing to validate data accuracy and ensure consistency in data flowing through complex systems.

The Ideal Solution for Agile Testing

Tricentis Tosca offers a compelling solution for enterprise organizations seeking to optimize their Agile testing practices. Its adaptability is a key strength, allowing it to handle software application changes easily. CirrusLabs obtained great results like a rise in automation from 15% to 52% after implementing Tricentis. Time-tested results from Tricentis Tosca are why CirrusLabs cheers for them as the ideal Agile solution for automated testing.
