Replace Modules

There is a distinct connection between TestSteps and XModules. In Tricentis Tosca, you can exchange XModules in order to define a new technical basis (XModules) for all referenced TestCases. Any existing references between XModules and TestSteps will be maintained upon exchange. Specializations and references are additionally considered (see chapter "Structure XModules").

When XModules are exchanged, all referenced TestCases are executed with a modified technical basis. This allows TestCases of different XModule versions to be executed.

Exchanging Modules

In Tosca Commander you can exchange individual XModules and XModule folders without deleting any references to the TestSteps.

Preconditions

• All XModules which exist in the source folder must also exist in the target folder, and their names must match.

• All XModuleAttributes which exist in the source Module must also exist in the target Module, and their names must match.

Preconditions for multi-user projects

• Write access for all affected TestCases is required.

• The user must be part of the class Advanced or Expert (see "Define access rights for specific operations").
