Tosca Manual Test Case Execution Features

While Tosca is best known for its powerful automated testing capabilities, it also offers a well-structured and feature-rich approach to manual test case execution. In real-world scenarios, not all testing can be automated—especially in agile environments where time, complexity, or tools may limit automation feasibility. Tosca addresses this gap with its Manual Test Case Execution module, allowing teams to execute tests manually while still benefiting from centralized test management, reporting, and traceability.

In this blog, we’ll explore the key features of Tosca Manual Test Case Execution, and how they help QA teams stay efficient and organized.


📝 1. Structured Manual Test Cases

Tosca allows testers to design manual test cases just like automated ones, using the same Modular Test Case Design. You can create reusable test steps and modules that reflect the application under test.

Manual test cases can be designed with:

Step descriptions

Expected results

Data placeholders

Screenshots and attachments

This structured format helps maintain consistency, clarity, and traceability across test efforts.


👤 2. Manual Execution via Tosca Commander

Tosca provides a dedicated interface within Tosca Commander for executing manual tests. Testers can follow step-by-step instructions, mark outcomes, and log comments or defects directly during execution. The interface is intuitive and supports:

Marking test steps as Passed, Failed, or Blocked

Attaching evidence like screenshots or logs

Recording time spent per test case

Assigning results to individual testers

This makes it ideal for QA teams involved in exploratory, regression, or UAT testing.


📱 3. Tosca Mobile Execution Client (MEC)

For teams on the go or testing on physical devices, Tosca’s Mobile Execution Client allows manual tests to be run from tablets or mobile devices. This is especially helpful for:

Field testers

On-site UAT

Device or hardware interface testing

The MEC supports offline execution as well, allowing results to be synced back to Tosca Commander when reconnected.


📊 4. Real-Time Reporting and Traceability

Manual test results in Tosca are automatically logged and stored. These results can be:

Reviewed in Execution Logs

Linked to requirements or user stories

Included in dashboard reports and metrics

This ensures full traceability from requirements → test cases → execution → results, regardless of whether a test is automated or manual.


🔄 5. Transition from Manual to Automated

One major benefit of Tosca is the ease of transitioning manual test cases to automated ones. Since the same test case structure and modules are used, you can start with manual execution and later automate those same steps without rewriting everything from scratch.

This supports agile and DevOps practices, where automation can be added incrementally.


🛡️ 6. Role-Based Execution Control

Tosca supports user roles and permissions, ensuring only authorized testers can execute or edit certain test cases. This is critical in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, or aviation, where audit trails and compliance are mandatory.


✅ Conclusion

Tosca's Manual Test Case Execution features bring structure, flexibility, and control to manual testing activities. From detailed step tracking and offline execution to real-time reporting and seamless automation transition, Tosca ensures that manual testing remains a valuable, traceable, and integrated part of your overall QA strategy.

Whether you're at the start of your test automation journey or operating in a hybrid testing model, Tosca makes it easy to manage and execute manual test cases with professionalism and precision.

How to Use Tosca's Test Configuration Parameters

Tosca by Tricentis is a powerful model-based test automation tool widely used in enterprise environments for end-to-end testing. One of its most useful features is Test Configuration Parameters (TCPs), which provide flexibility and control in managing test execution. TCPs enable testers to create reusable test cases by passing dynamic values without hardcoding them. This significantly enhances test maintenance, scalability, and efficiency. In this blog, we’ll explore what Test Configuration Parameters are, how to create and use them, and the best practices to follow when working with TCPs in Tosca. What Are Test Configuration Parameters? Test Configuration Parameters are custom-defined key-value pairs that can be associated with test cases, test case folders, or execution lists in Tosca. They help manage configuration data such as environment URLs, browser types, credentials, or any other variable data that may differ across test runs. By using TCPs, you can avoid duplicating test case...

Using Hibernate ORM for Fullstack Java Data Management

In the world of fullstack Java development, managing data efficiently and seamlessly across the application is critical. One of the most powerful tools in the Java ecosystem for handling database operations is Hibernate ORM (Object-Relational Mapping). Hibernate simplifies the interaction between Java applications and relational databases, reducing boilerplate code and improving maintainability. This blog explores how Hibernate ORM works, why it’s widely used, and how it fits into the data management strategy of a fullstack Java application. What is Hibernate ORM? Hibernate ORM is an open-source Java framework that provides a powerful and flexible mechanism for mapping Java objects to database tables. It abstracts the low-level JDBC code, allowing developers to work with high-level object-oriented concepts. Instead of writing raw SQL queries, Hibernate allows developers to define database interactions using simple Java classes (also known as POJOs) and annotations or XML configurations...

Creating a Test Execution Report with Charts in Playwright

Modern test automation isn't just about running tests—it's also about presenting clear, visual feedback on test results. When working with Playwright, one of the most powerful end-to-end testing tools for modern web apps, generating detailed execution reports can help your team track progress, identify issues quickly, and make data-driven decisions. A visual report with charts brings your testing efforts to life. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to create a test execution report with charts using Playwright’s built-in capabilities along with third-party tools for enhanced visualization. Why Visual Reports Matter Plain text logs and console outputs are hard to parse at scale. A good report should answer questions like: How many tests passed or failed? What’s the overall success rate? Which tests are flaky or slow? How have test results changed over time? Visualizing this data with charts—like pie charts, bar graphs, or timelines—helps QA teams and stakeholders better underst...
