Upgrade to Tricentis Tosca 14.0
For detailed information on how to upgrade from Tricentis Tosca 13.4 to Tricentis Tosca 14.0, see chapter "Upgrade from version 13.4 to 14.0".
Known issues
Mobile Engine 3.0: Incorrect value of the Count property for an ItemSelector
If you automate an iOS application, the value of the Count property for an ItemSelector is always 0 even if this control contains child items.
Mobile Engine 3.0: Issue with coordinates for Highlight selection and the Click interaction in Live View
This issue occurs when you use Live View in XScan for an iPhone 8 simulator with iOS 14.0. When you click in the Live View window or use the Highlight selection feature in XScan, the Mobile Engine 3.0 sends wrong coordinates to the simulator. This might result in clicking or highlighting an incorrect control on the simulator.
The Select on screen feature is not affected by this issue.
Salesforce Engine 3.0: Issue with scanning the details of a record - fixed with patch 03
XScan crashes when you scan the details of a specific record in Salesforce.
As a workaround for this issue, go to Settings->TBox->Engines->XBrowser and change the value of the setting Ignore invisible HTML elements to False.
API Engine 3.0: Subtree inserting functionality - fixed with patch 01
If you insert XML structure to a subtree or tree, the indentation and formatting of the XML subtree is not preserved.
API Engine 3.0/API Scan: Error message when you push or pull Kafka messages
This issue is only present in API Scan. Execution from Tosca Commander works as expected.
As a workaround for this issue, use a 13.4 version of API Scan Standalone for Kafka testing.
Orchestrated Service Virtualization: Error message with MSSQL DB
If you enter invalid credentials when creating an MSSQL database, an error message appears that does not contain enough information about the issue.
As a workaround for this issue, verify your credentials and try again.
If you assign a group to a project in
A possible workaround is to re-create the user group, re-add the project to
XBrowser Engine 3.0: XScan issue in Internet Explorer - fixed with patch 01
XScan may crash intermittently if you scan a page in Internet Explorer that is currently loading or busy. Tricentis recommends that you wait until a page is fully loaded before you start scanning.
Recorder issue after upgrade
If you performed an upgrade from previous versions to Tricentis Tosca 14.0, the Recorder breaks. This issue will be tackled in the first patch. Until then, there are two possible workarounds to tackle this issue:
-
Deinstall Tricentis Tosca and perform a clean installation of Tricentis Tosca.
-
Copy the System.Windows.Interactivity.dll from the Tosca Commander installation directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\TRICENTIS\Tosca Testsuite\ToscaCommander) into the TBOX folder installation directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\TRICENTIS\Tosca Testsuite\TBox) .
Since the Automation Recording Assistant is using the same recording function as Tricentis Tosca, the same issue happens here. If you have installed the Automation Recording Assistant without Tricentis Tosca, a clean installation is needed.
