TOSCA is an automation tool for functional and regression testing of various software products. It also includes GUI, CLI (command line interface), integrated test management, and API. The tool was developed by TRICENTIS Technology & Consulting GmbH, the Austrian company.

The tool is created in VB6, C#, and Java. It can be used by the testers who have no programming skills and knowledge. It contains the ready-to-use configuration for testing business application SAP and Siebel CRM.

The tool supports a range of programming languages such as Delphi, .NET, WPF, Java Swing, Visual Basic, etc. It can be used for Explorer and Firefox web browsers. PowerBuilder and Gupta are the environments for application development.

With the help of this tool, the test cases can be developed by drag&droping the modules and inputting the values for validations. Test cases can be created, modified and automated by non-technical users.

TOSCA Testsuite generates dynamic and synthetic test data. It handles and executes not only manual and automated testing but also GUI as well as non-GUI tests. The tool provides rather detailed reports that show how the weak points of the system under test affect the fulfilment of specified requirements.
