Perform the installation

Follow the step-by-step instructions in this chapter to install Tricentis Tosca on your computer.

Start the installation

To start the installation, double-click the Tosca TestSuite.<version number>.exe file. This opens the Tricentis Tosca Installer that guides you through the installation process.

On the first page of the Tricentis Tosca Installer, you have to agree to the license terms and conditions.

To do so, select the check box and click Continue.

If you have an earlier Tricentis Tosca version installed, select the check box and click Upgrade. Your earlier Tricentis Tosca version is uninstalled and the new version installs with the default components to the previously configured folders.

License information for third-party software components

Tricentis Tosca uses third-party software components. A list of these components and the corresponding license notes are included in the %TRICENTIS_HOME%\dll\License.txt file.

Navigate the Installer

You can see all steps of the installation process on the left side of the Installer window.

To navigate between the installation steps, click Next to proceed or Back to modify a previous step. You can also return to a previous step by clicking on it.

Check prerequisites

Tricentis Tosca requires some prerequisites to work properly. The Installer displays all prerequisites and checks whether the required components are available in the system:

• The icon indicates that a component is available.

• The icon indicates that Tricentis Tosca Installer needs to install a missing component, which it does automatically.

  If an icon is white, it only indicates that a particular component is selected in the list.

Click Next to continue.

Select the setup type

You can select one of the following setup types:

• Tosca Commander performs a default installation. This setup type installs the default components:

  • Tosca Commander

  • Tricentis TBox

  • Tricentis Licensing

  • Tricentis Classic

  • Distributed Execution Agent

• Execution Agent is an execution-only agent exclusively for Engines 3.0.

• Custom Installation allows you to select components to install.

If you upgrade from an earlier version, you can only select Tosca Commander. To select a different setup type, remove your installed Tricentis Tosca version manually and restart the installation process.

Select a setup type and click Next to continue.

Select the install location

Tricentis Tosca Installer provides default destination folders for the installation of Tricentis Tosca.

If you want to change the default destination folders, you must select directories to which all Tricentis Tosca users have write access.

Network drives can not host the directories Tosca_Projects and APPDATA. The Tosca_Projects folder must be placed in a directory that is persistent on the machine.

To select a different directory, click Browse and select a destination folder in the subsequent dialog.

Click Next to continue.

Enable Tosca Diagnostics

With Tosca Diagnostics, you can help improve Tricentis Tosca by sending anonymous usage statistics.

To enable Tosca Diagnostics, select the check box.

After installation, you can enable or disable Tosca Diagnostics in Tosca Commander under Project->Settings->Diagnostics. For more information, see chapter "Settings - Diagnostics".

Click Next to continue.

Enable Tosca BI

The Tosca Business Intelligence AddIn allows you to test your DWH/BI environment.

To work with the AddIn, you need a valid Tosca BI license. Contact your Tricentis sales person for further information.

To enable the Tosca BI AddIn, select the check box.

After the installation, you can enable or disable the Tosca BI AddIn in Tosca Commander under Project->Options->Tosca BI.

Select the check boxes next to the components that you want to install.

Click Next to continue.

Review the installation

In the Review dialog, you can review the installation and configuration.

If you want to make changes before the installation, click Change Features. The Installer redirects you to the Setup Type dialog.

Change your settings and continue with the installation as described above.

If you agree with the installation summary, click Install to run the installation.

Installation progress

In the Installation dialog, you can follow the installation progress:

• The icon indicates a successful installation.

• The icon indicates an unsuccessful installation of a component.

Finish the installation

The Tricentis Tosca Installer displays the installation summary and indicates whether all components have been installed successfully.

If a component did not install properly, click Show Logs. You can also find the installation logs in the %TEMP% folder. If you cannot identify the problem based on the logs, contact Tricentis Support.
