Execute mixed tests

Mixed tests are tests that contain elements you created with Engines 3.0 and elements you created with Classic Engines:

  • a TestCase with Engines 3.0 TestSteps and Classic TestSteps

  • an ExecutionList with ExecutionEntries created from Engines 3.0 TestCases and ExecutionEntries created from Classic TestCases

You can execute mixed tests within the same execution run, just as you would any other automated test.

To trigger the execution of your tests, press F6 as described in chapter "Execute automated tests".

Execution behavior: mixed TestCases

Once you have triggered the execution, Tosca Commander executes all TestSteps with Engines 3.0. This means that you can use Engines 3.0 functionality, for instance as Recovery or reusable TestStepBlocks.

Execution behavior: mixed ExecutionLists

Once you have triggered the execution, Tosca Commander forwards the ExecutionEntries to the respective execution agents:

  • Engines 3.0 ExecutionEntries to the respective Engine 3.0

  • Classic ExecutionEntries to Tosca Executor

This means that Engines 3.0 functionality and behavior applies to Engines 3.0 ExecutionEntries only. For your Classic ExecutionEntries, Tosca Executor uses the behavior you specified in the settings or in Tosca Executor.

Alternatively, you can specify that Tosca Commander should execute Classic TestCases with Engines 3.0 (see chapter "Run Classic tests with Engines 3.0").
