Cloud Powering Your Testing: A Look at Tricentis Tosca’s Cloud Deployment Option

For anyone who’s ever wrestled with getting the right data for testing, or felt lost in a maze of test cases, the idea of making it all a bit smoother, maybe even conversational, feels like a breath of fresh air. That’s the vibe from Tosca Cloud Spring 25 Release, which brings some significant muscle to its cloud capabilities.

New Features of Tricentis Tosca (SAP Enterprise Continuous Testing)

The time spent wrangling test data—provisioning it, making sure it’s accurate, and keeping it consistent across tests—is a tedious, manual marathon. Tricentis Tosca (also known as SAP Enterprise Continuous Testing) tackles that head-on by automating the management and provisioning of test data with a cloud-based solution to speed the whole process. This ensures testers ditch some of that data-heavy lifting and focus on the more strategic, interesting parts of their job.

When it comes to designing test cases that truly reflect how a business works, Tosca’s new Business Flow Designer offers a visual, flow-chart approach. Imagine business analysts and QA teams looking at the same intuitive picture, collaborating on tests that hit the most critical business functions. It’s about getting everyone on the same page and ensuring tests are designed with the bigger picture in mind, validating those mission-critical workflows.

For large scale tests, this update introduces zero-footprint execution, letting you scale your test runs in the cloud without needing a heavy on-premises setup. Coupled with Tosca’s signature model-based approach which builds reusable components for tests that are easier to design and maintain. This gives users a streamlined, powerful solution that lives entirely in the cloud.

According to Mav Turner, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Tricentis, “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. 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.”

The release also packs in other features like enhanced test authoring, powerful dashboards for real-time insights, and expanded support for testing across various technologies like Mobile, PDF, and SAP solutions.

Finally, this release makes test automation more accessible and collaborative, and less of a drain on valuable time and resources. By bringing these advanced capabilities to the cloud, Tricentis is aiming to help organizations accelerate their testing while keeping their focus on what truly matters: delivering reliable, high-quality software that keeps the business running smoothly.

 What This Means for SAPinsiders

The update supports the latest SAP releases, including GUI, NWBC, Fiori, and SuccessFactors. The offering is built with the specifics of SAP landscapes in mind. Additionally, the enhanced integration with SAP ALM solutions like SAP Solution Manager and SAP Cloud ALM means you can tie your automated testing directly into your SAP application lifecycle management processes, creating a more unified and efficient workflow. Imagine creating an automated test case in Tosca and integrating it with SAP Solution Manager with a single click – that’s a tangible win for streamlining operations.

The need for accelerated testing for migration is now. SAPinsider research consistently highlights the need for faster testing in complex SAP environments, especially with migrations and the move towards more frequent updates and the integration of non-SAP applications. The traditional manual approaches simply can’t keep pace. This is where Tosca’s zero-footprint execution and scalable architecture become crucial. They address the market trend towards needing faster, more comprehensive testing cycles without the burden of managing extensive on-premises infrastructure, a significant challenge for many large enterprises running SAP.

Tosca alleviates some of the common pain points of testing in SAP. For example, Tosca’s Business Flow Designer, by focusing on end-to-end business processes, directly supports the need to validate critical SAP business workflows, such as order-to-cash or procure-to-pay, which often span multiple SAP modules and integrated systems. The ability to test across technologies like Mobile and PDF within the cloud also reflects the reality of modern SAP landscapes that extend beyond the core GUI. These capabilities, delivered from the cloud with reduced infrastructure overhead, offer a compelling solution for enterprises heavily invested in SAP.
