TOSCA PRACTICE PAPER 2026 FULL
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉Describe Identify by Anchor. Answer: In Tricentis Tosca, you can
use technical
properties of controls to identify other
controls.
During automation, Tosca will look first for the
anchor control, and then search for the target
control in relation to the anchor control.
It does this using two possible methods:
shortest path or coordinate.
The anchor must be unique.
◉What is the difference between using methods shortest path and
coordinate? Answer: With Shortest Path: the system searches
each tree level for the control to be identified
starting from the anchor control. The search
,starts directly beneath the control and goes
from bottom to top up to the root element.
When using the coordinate method, the exact
position of the control to be identified is
searched via coordinates. This option is highly
dependent on the screen resolution. If the
initial resolution changed, the control might
not be found during test execution.
◉How to update a Module when the application has changed?
Answer: Open the application page.
Navigate to the Module to be changed.
Right-click and select Rescan.
Apply the changes to the control objects.
Save the scanned Module.
◉What is a ControlGroup? Answer: Allows to organize group of
buttons and radio buttons within a module.
◉What is a TestCase? Answer: A TestCase is a path taken in your
application. It consists of a sequence of steps that you want to test.
These steps are called TestSteps.
, Test Cases are the basic elements containing the dialog sequence
information.
◉What is a TestCase Folder? Answer: A folder containing one or
more items, i.e., TestCases, TestStep Folders, TestSteps.
TestCaseFolders are used to organize TestCases.
◉What is a TestCase Folder structure? Answer: Within a TestCase,
use Folders to separate logical sections. We recommend the
following structure: Precondition for starting the SUT and preparing
test data, Process for the actual test and Postcondition to perform
clean-ups and close the SUT. Within those Folders, a Folder structure
should be used to group TestSteps.
◉What are the Best Practices for Test Cases? Answer: Define Folder
Structure that reflects the workflow.
Use Naming Conventions.
Four Eyes Principle:
- In Work
- Ready for Approval
