Tricentis announced its spring release of new cloud capabilities for the company’s AI-powered, model-based test automation solution, Tricentis Tosca.

Designed to deliver Tosca’s innovative approach to automation in the cloud, this release goes far beyond with new cloud capabilities, including a reimagined solution for test data management and test case design through its new Business Flow Designer.

Leveraging Tosca’s new cloud-based test data solution, which automates the management and provisioning of test data, users are able to quickly access accurate and consistent data while removing time consuming and tedious manual effort traditionally required for provisioning test data when creating tests – time and effort that could be more effectively spent on more strategic activities. Combined with the new cloud-based Business Flow Designer, this release provides testers with a modernized, intuitive flow-chart view, allowing business and QA teams to easily collaborate and create tests that cover the most critical business functions. This ensures that test cases are designed to continuously validate business workflows against mission-critical business objectives, not just technical functionalities.

Additionally, this release offers the ability to take advantage of zero-footprint execution to free up resources often burdened by large-scale test execution that can be costly and time-consuming. Coupled with the power and efficiency of Tosca’s unique model-based approach to test automation for simplified test design and maintenance, organizations can achieve enterprise-ready automation with a low-footprint, streamlined solution fully available in the cloud.

Through this update, organizations benefit from a suite of advanced cloud capabilities, including:

- Advanced test authoring: Rapid and efficient test creation with reusable test step blocks, granular module control, and the ability to rescan modules and apply change at scale.

- Zero-footprint execution: Elastic Execution Agents offer flexible, scalable, parallel and cost-efficient test execution entirely in the cloud.

- Business Flow Designer: Intuitive visual interface to model business flows, understand dependencies, and depict business-critical end-to-end processes for comprehensive test creation.

- Test data capabilities: Automates the management and provisioning of test data, accelerating test case creation by removing the need to manually create accurate test data.

- Powerful dashboards: Provide real-time insights into test execution progress and key quality metrics with new embedded dashboards and reporting templates, allowing users to make informed decisions at every step.

- Low-footprint automation: Reduction of ownership, management, and maintenance costs of internal infrastructure and Tosca’s on-prem components.

- End-to-end testing: Further expanding supported technologies for testing your end-to-end IT landscape, such as Mobile, PDF, IBTA, and Remote Terminal.

- Coming soon: Powerful generative AI capabilities for the next big wave in automation and key integrations across the Tricentis portfolio for comprehensive quality engineering.

“Tosca revolutionized test automation with model-based testing, and now we’re extending that innovation to the cloud—introducing cutting-edge capabilities designed for modern QA teams,” said Mav Turner, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Tricentis. “This release gives our customers a more streamlined and efficient way to manage test data, design test cases that cover business-critical functions, and scale test execution in the cloud without the need for costly infrastructure.”
