TOSCA INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

1. A) What is Cross Browser testing

B) Why is it necessary to be done
C) Will Tosca supports Cross Browser testing?

A) Testing a web application in multiple browsers is called Cross

Browser testing.
B) Why it is necessary: To make sure the SUT or web applications works
in multiple browsers and also to check the quality of application, it is
necessary to do the Cross Browser Testing
C) Yes, Tosca Supports CBT

2. How Tosca supports cross browser testing?

For multiple test cases, the browser can be defined only one (that could
be chrome or IE or Mozilla etc...) In that case, we can set Buffer for each
browser and we can perform desired steps in that particular browser.

Example:-
There is a case, where we have to perform 10 steps in Tosca, First 5
should be performed in Chrome and remaining five steps should be
performed in edge [CBT].

This can be achieved by following steps

1. For first five steps that should be performed in chrome are:-
A. Define Buffer Browser value as Chrome by adding Tbox set Buffer
in test case before performing actual steps
B. Define first five steps, this will make the test steps to perform in
edge.
2. For remaining five steps that should be performed in edge should
follow below steps: -
A. Define Buffer Browser value as Edge by adding Tbox set buffer in
Test case
B. Perform remaining steps, this will make the test steps to perform in
edge.
3. How do you test an application that is opened in two tabs in same
browser?

To operate in such cases, we have to add configuration parameter by right

clicking on the module and we have to set the configuration parameter
name as ConstraintIndex and set the value as the number of tab you have
to perform (set value as 1 or 2 to perform actions in 1st tab and 2nd tab
respectively).

There is alternative way to handle multiple tabs

In Test step add Tbox set Buffer module
Then set Buffer name as Index
And add the value as the number of tab
Then navigate to that particular module and add configuration parameter
as ConstraintIndex and define the value as the {B[Index]}
This will set the value of ConstraintIndex

4. How do you close a particular tab when multiple tabs are opened in the
same browser?

5. What is the purpose of Explicit Name and how do you create it and what
will you define the value for it?

6. What are the different sections available in Tosca? And explain each
section elaborately.
 Requirements
 Test case design
 Test cases
 Modules
 Execution
 Issues
2. What are the different types of control Identifications in Tosca?
 Identify by Properties.
 Identify by Index.
 Identify by Anchor.
 Identify by Image.
Identify by properties:
If at all Tosca is unable to identify any control uniquely with the properties
that are captured during the scanning, then we can use Identify by properties
and select the required properties to identify the control uniquely so that
Tosca can identify the control and continues the execution.
Identify by Index:
If at all Tosca is unable to identify any control uniquely when we have 1 or
more controls with same labelling, then we can use Identify by Index and
select the Index of that Particular control to Identify the Control uniquely.
Identify by anchor:
If at all Tosca is unable to identify any control uniquely then we can use
Identify by Anchor and Drag and drop the Parent control information to
Anchor drop box to identify the Control uniquely.
Identify by image:
If at all Tosca is unable to identify any control uniquely then by using
Identify by Image we can select particular region in the application to
identify the Control uniquely.

3. What is Module? What are the different types are Modules available in
Tosca?
Module stores controls Information in the form of list of properties and each
test step must be associated with one module and basically there are 2 types
of modules available in Tosca,
 Standard Modules.
 User defined Modules.
Standard Modules: Standard Modules are the default modules which comes
by default and we can use directly them wherever needed in our test cases,
Ex: OpenUrl, Tbox Wait, Close Browser, etc.

User defined Modules: User defined Modules are the application specific
modules which will be created by Automation test engineers according to
their requirements.
4. What is Verify Action Mode in Tosca?
Verify Action Mode is used to Verify whether the Control is
Exists/Enable/Visible or not and Verify Action Mode is also used to verify
the Inner text of any Control.
5. What is Buffer Action Mode in Tosca?
Buffer is used to store some value, for Ex: We can store innertext of any
control to buffer and we can call that buffer whenever we need to verify
innertext of any control.
There are 2 types of Buffers in Tosca
 Static Buffer
 Syntax: {B[Buffername]}
 Dynamic Buffer
Syntax: {XB[Buffername]}

6. What is TCP?
Test configuration Parameter is used to configure/passing some value to the
parameters and we can call those parameters wherever required.
Syntax: {CP[TCPName]}

7. What is Synchronization Timeout in Tosca?

Synchronization is process of making the Tosca to wait till it identify the
Control, we can set some Timeout duration under
Project>Settings>TBox>Synchronization, So Tosca will wait till that time
duration to identify the Control.

8. What is the difference between Synchronization Timeout and Tbox Wait?

Synchronization timeout will make the Tosca to wait till it Identify the
Control within the specified time, suppose if the control is identified in few
seconds only then it will not wait for remaining time and Tosca will movie to
next step.
But in Case of Tbox wait, it will make the tool to wait entire specified time
forcefully even the control is identified in between.
9. What is Library and Reusable Test Step block?
Reusable Test Step blocks are Reusable scripts which can be created only
under libraries
Usually in any web application we will have some set of actions which needs
to be executed in each and every test scenario, so in this case instead of
creating the same test steps again and again in each Test scenario we will
create the Reusable Test step blocks and We can call those references
wherever it is required.

10.What is Business Parameter?

Creating Business Parameters is the only way to pass different values to the
Reusable test step blocks.
Business Parameter are reusable parameters which can be created only under
the reusable test step blocks, under reusable test step blocks we can create
Business parameters and can link the test step values with the Business
parameters and we can call these Business parameters wherever required and
we can pass the values directly into test cases.

11. How to take the screenshot in Tosca?

Tosca provides a Standard module called Tbox Take screenshot, we can add
this TBox Take Screenshot within the test cases wherever it is required, one
need to give environment as Desktop, Directory location and file name, so
that Tosca will save the screenshot on that particular location.

12.How to get the length of the String? The syntax for the length of the
string is
{Calc[Len(“”””StringName””””)]}
{Calc[Len(“”””{XB[Buffername]}””””)]}

13.What is Recovery Scenario?

During the execution if Tosca faces any problematic situations to continue
the execution due to unexpected dialog box or popup windows, by
considering these problematic situations we can create the possible required
Recovery scenarios to that Test case, so during the execution if Tosca get any
need of those Recovery scenarios, Tosca will be using them and continue
with the execution.
14.What is Cleanup Scenario?
Even if Recovery scenario is also fails to continue the execution and finally
Tosca will go Cleanup Scenario and it will the execute steps mentioned in
the cleanup scenario and it come out from the application.

15.What is the use of Scratch book?

Scratch book is used to perform trial runs while creating the test cases and
Scratch book allows us to execute the scripts in testcases folder level, test
cases level and test step level.
And Scratch book displays the flash status of the execution, and the
execution status will not be stored anywhere if we close the scratch book
status window, we cannot see those result again.
16.What is Rescan in Tosca?
Rescan is used to update the existing user defined modules with the new
attributes and Rescan is also used to update the existing attributes under the
existing modules.
17.What is Regular Expression?
If at all Tosca is unable to Identify the object due to regular changes in any
control’s properties value, then we will replace the constant value with
suitable regular expression (wild card [*]).
18.How to use Mouseover in Tosca?
Directly Tosca cannot scan the attributes present under Mouseover in the
applications in such cases we will go the Advanced view and expand the
Filter items bar and manual select the required item and we will add them to
the Modules.
19.What is the WaitOn Action Mode in Tosca?
WaitOn is used to make the Tosca to wait till it identify the specified control
until the specified time mentioned in Tbox synchronization settings.
WaitOn is a dynamic wait statement, it will just wait till it identify the
control and the will not wait for the complete specified time.
20.What is the use of Tbox Start timer and Tbox Stop Timer?
Tbox Start timer and Tbox Stop Timer is used to measure the execution time
of any test cases, we need to mention Tbox Start timer in the starting of the
testcase and Tbox Stop timer and the end of test case. And we can also insert
a verification point to verify the maximum time.
21.How to fetch the data from Excel in Tosca?
Firstly, we will create the required attributes and instances in excel and then
we will convert the test case to template, we will specify the schema path
with excel location and will update the test step values with the excel
attributes and then we will create the Template Instance and Start the
Instantiation.
22.What is difference between Exists and Visible in Verify Action Mode?
Exists is used to check whether the control is exists (or) not, But Visible is
used to check though the control is exists but still the control is Visible or
not.
23.What is the difference between TCP and Business Parameters?
Both Test Configuration Parameters and Business Parameters are reusable
parameters but if we need to pass different sets of values into Reusable test
step blocks then it is suggested to use Business parameters as once business
parameters are created, we can call those reusable test step blocks wherever
required and pass the different values directly to the test cases.
Whereas if we use TCP, altogether we must create multiple parameters for
multiple set of data, as TCP is a static value.
24.What is the difference in Executing the test case from Scratch book and
Execution list?
If we execute the test case from Scratch book, we will just see the flash
status and once the scratch book is closed, we cannot check the status again
and we cannot download the execution report in scratch book.
If we execute from Execution list, we can keep track of execution status and
we can also download the reports and we can also verify the screenshots in
the reports.
25.What all the applications Tosca can automate other than Web
applications?
Other than Web applications Tosca can also automate SAP applications, API
applications, Desktop applications, Salesforce application etc.
26.Which looping statements are available in Tosca?
Tosca supports DO, and WHILE Statements.
27.What are the different types of Errors in Tosca?
Mainly, there are three types of errors in Tosca.
Verification-Failure: If any verification point is fails, it means if Expected
value and Actual value does not match then Verification will be failed.
User Abort: Abort of the test execution by the user.
Dialog-Failure: During the execution if at all we notice any unexpected
popups and if that stops the execution then we will call it as Dialog failure.

28.Explain how you can use multiple browsers within the same test case?
IF we need to Run the same test case in multiple browsers then we need to
go to TCP and change the Browser to our desired browser and we can run it.

29.How do you Maximize and Minimize the browser?

We have a Standard module called Tbox Window Operation, we can use this
module and can Maximize or Minimize the browser.

30.Can you test Recovery Scenarios in Scratch book?

No, Recovery Scenarios can be executed only from Execution section, we
cannot run Recovery Scenarios from Testcases section.

31.What is Data Driven testing in Tosca?

Performing testing on the same functionality again and again with different
sets of data is known as Data Driven Testing.
Data Driven testing can be done in 2 ways in Tosca,
 Testsheet in Test case Design.
 Importing the data from Excel sheet.

32.What is Test Mandate in Tosca?

To avoid the overwrite of other tester’s results we will create the test
mandates in execution section and execute the tests under the test mandates.
33.What is Explicit Name?
Generally, Tosca won’t allow us to update test case attribute name in any test
cases, In order to do that we need to add one configuration parameter in
ssociated module attribute i.e., ExplicitName = True, then Tosca allows you
to update testcase attribute name.

34.What is Exploratory scenario in Tosca?

Exploratory testing means learning and testing the application
simultaneously without any requirements.
Exploratory testing is about learning the product, designing, and executing
tests, and interpreting the test results, all at the same time.

35.What are the Dynamic expressions available in Tosca?

Date and Time expressions, Math and Calc Expressions, etc.

36.CI/CD Integration (or) Jenkins Integration:

CI/CD Integration means Jenkins Integration, tell in the interviews that we
didn’t integrate Tosca with Jenkins.

until it renders a single element.

41.What is Repetition in Tosca?

Repetitions are used to execute the test steps repeatedly, Repetitions can
apply only for test step folders, one can give the repetition property value in
the test step folder, tosca repeats the execution as per the repetition property
value mentioned in test step folder.

42.How to click on Browser back?

We can use the standard module “Execute JavaScript” to perform browser
back, And we need mention the JavaScript value as window.history.go(-1)

43.What is Cardinality?
If we need any attribute more than one time in the test step, then we can
specify the Cardinality property value as “0-N” in the Module attribute.

44.How to handle multiple tabs in a browser?

In the Module we need to add a Configuration parameter with the property
name as “ConstraintIndex” and with the value as tab number as below.
Ex: ConstraintIndex = 1 (For tab 1)

45.What are the Tosca Automation best practices?

• Use common naming conventions throughout the project.
• Maintain proper folder structure.
• Use libraries reusable scripts for the set of steps needs to be executed in
multiple test cases.
• Check the existing buffers while creating any new buffers, just to ensure
buffers are not override.
46.What are the challenges you faced in Tosca Automation?
• Tosca doesn’t support to run the scripts in different browser resolutions.
(For example if you do Zoom In and Zoom out.)
• Tricentis support team response time is more if there is any dependency
occurs.

49.What is Check-In and Check-Out in Tosca?

Check-in / Check-out mechanism ensures that users don't interfere with each
other’s work, If one user checkout some testcase, other users can’t access
that testcase until that checked out user check-in backs the testcase.
Check out is used to checkout particular test case. Check out Tree is used to
checkout complete tree. Update All is used to see other user’s updates.

50.Can we compare Pdf using Tosca?

Yes, we can compare 2 pdf files in Tosca by using the standard module
called “1:1 Compare”. In order to compare 2 pdf’s files, Just we need to
mention Reference PDF, Target PDF and Passwords if applicable, and
Accuracy percentage and Excluded Pages.
51.What is Instantiation and Re-Instantiation?
During Instantiation Tosca captures the values from the Test sheet (or) Excel
sheet and creates the template instances for each combinational data.
Whereas Re-Instantiation is used to capture the updated values from Test
sheet (or) Excel sheet.

 Tosca Wizard (Used to scan applications, to create modules)
 Tosca CI (used to integrate with CI tools)

55.What Is Tosca Commander?

This is actual desktop tool where you do your scripting (drag and drop).

56.What Is Model Based Test Technique?

Model-based testing is an application of model-based design for designing

and optionally also executing artifacts to perform software testing or
system testing. Models can be used to represent the desired behavior of a
system under test (SUT), or to represent testing strategies and a test
environment.
57.How Does Tosca Testsuite Support Model Based And Risk Based Testing?
Tricentis Tosca helps you to define your test cases by first scanning the
application. The automation model contains the automation logic which is
decoupled from the test logic specified as a test case. Once the required
models are defined, they can be used to execute both manual and automated
test cases with input & verification data. These models are dynamic,
synchronized with the application under test, and can be updated to reflect
any changes in the application, thereby eliminating the maintenance
challenges of traditional approaches.
58.What Are The Different Ways To Identify Objects In Tosca Testsuite?

Identify by properties
Identify by Anchor

reference of other uniquely identified object / element.
60.How To Take Screen Shot In Tosca Testsuite?
A standard module is provided by Tricentis to take screenshots. It is present
in standard modules. TBox Takes Screenshot.
61.Explain Recovery Scenario In Tosca Testsuite?
As the name suggests, it is to recover from failure. During the test
execution if your test case fails (that could be due to any reason), the
Recovery scenario is a set of steps to ensure that the next test case after this
failed test case should run properly. there shouldn’t be any impact of this
failed test case on them. In the recovery scenario, we can retry at test case
level, test step level or at test step value level.
In Setting -> TBox -> Recovery. There are two conditions when we can
recover, on dialog failure & on verification failure.
62.What is Tricentis Tosca architecture?

Tricentis Tosca architecture

63.How can we fetch test data from Excel using Tosca?

We can fetch test data from Excel in two ways:
For a single TestCase scenario, we can use TemplateInstance and create a
number of test cases that are needed from the test dataset. It will also import
Excel’s test data and embed them into test cases.
For different TestCases and have to import data from an external source,
then we can use the Excel Engine module (or) we can write our own
keywords using VB script and import the Excel test data
64.Can we perform Excel operations in Tosca?
Yes, we can. Tosca provides standard Excel modules that we have to
import to our workspace. We should also have Microsoft Excel 2003 or
Microsoft Excel 2007 installed on our system for it to work.
65.Explain about Tosca Query Language

through objects, object relations, and object properties within a project.
TQL is context-dependent.
66.What is Test Data Management?
Test Data Management is the process of managing data required to carry
out the TestCases. When a workspace is created, Tosca automatically
establishes a connection to the common repository where the test data
resides. We can even connect to another test data source, we can manually
change the connection string to a different repository.
67.What are the types of errors in Tosca?
Tosca template is a model (or) a structured format that can be reusable for
creating concrete TestCases. The TestCases that have a similar sequence of
steps can be converted to templates.
68.What is the use of Rescan?
Tosca Recan is used for scanning the already scanned module. When you
have a scanned webpage in a test case and if the UI is updated a bit, then
we need to rescan the webpage and add it to the test case.
69.What happens if the recovery scenario fails?
A recovery scenario fails, Tosca moves on to the next higher level recovery
scenario. If all of the recovery scenarios are failed, Tosca reports the test
case as failed.
70.Is Tosca a RPA tool?
Whether your customers exist as separate organizations within your
company or as external B2B relationships, leveraging Tricentis Tosca as a
testing tool and shifting into RPA has many advantages since the majority
 of the legwork – such as building the Tosca Modules to help drive the
automation – is done upfront.
71.What is exploratory testing?

Tricentis Tosca creates the TestSteps on the basis of the
ModuleAttributes. To create a TestStep for an existing TestCase, drag a
Module onto the TestCase. To select several Modules, press Ctrl and drag
them all onto a TestCase. Alternatively, you can drag the Module(s) onto
a TestCase folder to create a new TestCase.
75.What is the steering parameter in Tosca?
Steering parameters define the behavior of your Bot when it comes to
steering these controls. Changing the behavior of a Module means that the
Bot automatically applies this behavior to all Steps that you create from the
Module. If you have already created Steps from a Module, the Bot also
applies the behavior to them.
76.Can Tosca be used for performance testing?

106. How can we use multiple browsers in the same test case in Tosca?
Ans:
We cannot trigger multiple browsers in Tosca. However, we can perform
cross-browser execution. When we need to automate a TestCase with an
application that has to run on different browsers, then we can use buffers.
Using buffers, we can change the value in the test configuration parameter
at run-time. And then specify which browser needs to be used for each
buffer using the TBox Set Buffer.
107. What is the difference between ExceutionLists and ScratchBook?

ExceutionLists ScratchBook
ExecutionLists are used to Whereas a ScratchBook is used

This is how we can achieve data driven testing using Tosca TestSuite.
117. What Is a Template? How to Create Templates?
In general, template is nothing but something in standard format. In Tosca
Testsuite, we can convert a test case to a template so that it can be used for
various data combinations. Templates can use test data from test data
sheets.
118. How Data Driven Testing Is Achieved In Tosca Testsuite?
Data driven testing in Tosca Testsuite can be achieved by using a test sheet
in TestCaseDesign Section. There we can create attributes (Parameters
which need to cover for data driven testing) & Create various instances
(possibilities) for each attribute. Finally generate instances. Create a
template from your test case, attach test data sheet to template & then
instantiate the template.
119. What Is The Advantage Of Linking Test Cases To Requirements In
Tosca Testsuite?
We do link test cases to requirements to keep track of the requirements.
This will let us know that how many requirements are covered, how many
are yet to be covered, for which requirements test cases are successfully
passed, So basically this will give high level picture of requirement
coverage.
