Interview Questions & Answer

1) What is TOSCA Testsuite?

It is a complete Test Management Tool, that offers user-friendly platform for automated functional software tests, which is developed by Tricentis.

2) What are the Advantages of Tosca?

• It follows Model based automation.

• It reduces coding to minimum.

• It enables automating Web Applications, Desktop Applications, Mobile Applications, Web Services etc.

• it is user-friendly and well-organized layout leverages no coding knowledge required for automation purposes.

• It can be integrated to a no. of tools which are used in CD/CI activities like Jenkins, etc.

 3) What are the different modules of tosca?

• Tosca Commander,

• Tosca Executor,

• Tosca Wizard,

• Test Repository.

4) What is TC-shell?

The TC-Shell is the command-line control of TOSCA Commander which can be started in two different modes, interactive and script.

TC shell is used by TOSCA commander administrator.

5) what are TOSCA test Commander objects?

The TOSCA Commander Objects are,

• Modules.

• TestCase.

• and ExecutionLists

6) Explain Execution Lists Icon?

Execution Lists enable us to run your Testcases and also it facilitates logging the results of the test execution.

7) Why Model based test automation is required?

 The recent trends in the enterprise systems involving agile and scrum methodologies, test automation tools need to be very comprehensive, adopt itself and remain stable to the ever-changing environment.

TOSCA Testsuite follows Model based test automation approach which goes beyond scripting methods, provides cost effective, scalable and comprehensive testing solutions.

8) Explain Scratch Book functionality in TOSCA?

The Scratch Book provides a temporary assistance for executing Test Case subset while developing Test Cases. Scratch Book enables the partial execution of individual Test Steps.

Scratch Book also facilitates temporary arrangement and execution of Test Cases, so several Test Cases, Test Steps or test folders could be arranged together in any desired order and can be executed in Scratch Book

9) What is the current version of TOSCA?
 

The latest version of TOSCA Test suite is 9.1.

10) What is TOSCA commander?

It is a core for TOSCA Test suite. it enables easy creation, management, execution and analysis of Test Cases.

11) What is the Advantage of Test Data Management?

Test Data Management helps in managing the test data needed for test execution.

12) Explain Execution list in TOSCA?

Testcases are grouped into Execution Lists and can be organized using Execution List folders or Execution Entry folders.

There are two types of Execution Entry folders.

1. Synchronous Execution Entry folders are linked to Testcase folders.

2. asynchronous Execution Entry folders are created manually.

Each Testcase is listed as an Execution Entry in the Execution List.

Test Automation can provide significant benefits to organizations if it is done properly. Unfortunately, traditional testing tools have demonstrated lesser results.  The movement towards DevOps and CI/CD can be complex, so it requires a tool that compliments these goals…and Tosca does just that.

Below are SIX convincing reasons to explore Test Automation with Tosca:

1.  Maximize Risk Based Testing:  it allows the enterprise to identify critical and high-risk components of their application by using the risk rating capabilities of Tosca.  The tool will target not only high-risk areas but also recommend the appropriate number of test cases in order to achieve proper test coverage.

2.  Reduce Time to Market:  Test automation will minimize the manual effort and time to deliver but Tosca’s high rate of automation consistently exceeds industry averages of 30-40% by reaching rates of 90% or more.

3.  Optimize Testing Resources:  The need for highly trained technical resources is significantly reduced because manual testers can learn to automate test cases without having to master the programming skills. Making automation specialists out of manual testers, will optimize productivity and contribute to reducing QA expenses for company.

4.  Reduce Maintenance and Support:  Tosca work on Model Based testing approach which significantly decreases the effort for support and maintenance that has often contributed to the failure of traditional automation testing tools. The need for developing and maintaining code to steer tests through an application is removed with the use of Tosca’s script-less automation.

5. Improve Quality and Delivery:  Shift-left automation testing improves both the quality and frequency of delivering software. Tosca has automation capabilities and ease of integration with DevOps methodologies and CI/CD tools which makes it an outstanding strategic solution.

6. Reduce Overall QA Costs:  The combination of higher test automation rates, reduced maintenance and support efforts and the ability to have less expensive manual testing resource able to develop automated tests, these all contribute to lowering QA costs for the enterprise.
