Execute Test Cases Actions
Execute Test Cases actions run the specified execution list in the specified Tosca Test Repository. The execution is performed using a Tosca configuration object that is managed using DEX (Tricentis Distributed Execution Engine).
When the action is run, a configuration and execution list are supplied to DEX, which handles the execution using an appropriate agent that supports the configuration. The configuration path is set in the Tosca Test Repository’s Configuration field; the execution list ID is supplied in the action’s Source table.
As a result of the execution, a test event is create in Tosca’s Execution Tab, with the format LiveCompare_<YYYY-MM-DD>T<timestamp>. The results are returned in the Execute Test Cases action’s Result dataset.
