Changed functionality

This chapter explains changed functionality of Tricentis Tosca 16.0 LTS, compared to version 15.2 LTS.

Mobile Engine 3.0: Desired Capabilities

As of Tosca 16.0, you can no longer use your Desired Capabilities configuration files for Mobile Scan. You need to add the Desired Capabilities directly in the Mobile Scan window.

TBox Define Excel Range Module

The Data Range ModuleAttribute in the TBox Define Excel Range Module now influences how the Excel Engine 3.0 calculates the values for the properties ColumnCount, RowCount, ColumnNumber, RowNumber, and ResultCount. The calculated result is now related to the specified Data Range, instead of the first cell of the specified workbook. You may need to adapt your table verification tests to consider the specified range.

Tricentis Data Integrity

We've updated the Tricentis Data Integrity libraries to .NET 6.

.NET 6 handles the data type Double differently. This causes a slightly lower precision in tolerances for reconciliation tests where you compare Avro files: 14 decimal places instead of 16.

Tricentis File Service and DokuSnapper

As of Tosca 16.0, you have specify where you want to save the DokuSnapper document. By default, Tosca saves the document locally, even if you have Tricentis File Service turned on. If you want to save the document to Tricentis File Service, change the Storage Location Type setting.

UIA Engine 3.0

The UIA Engine 3.0 has updated libraries. This may cause issues with property verification and control identification in your tests due to new property prefixes:

  • If Tosca can't find your control because one or more identifying properties have changed, rescan the control. This updates all properties.

  • If Tosca finds your control, but can't verify a specific property, you need to update the verification clause to match the new prefix. For instance, the property Orientation now contains a new prefix: OrientationType_. Consequently, you need to update your verification clause to .Orientation==OrientationType_<Value>.

Deprecated features in 16.0 LTS

As of this version, Tricentis has discontinued the following components:

  • AnyUI Engine 3.0

  • PDF Vector Engine

  • RDP Server for Distributed Execution

  • Tosca Jenkins Plugin

  • Tricentis User Administration Cloud authentication for Vision AI

  • Webservice Engine 3.0

For more information, see this Tricentis Knowledge Base article.

API Engine 3.0

As of Tosca 16.0, API Engine 3.0 does no longer support XML files with Document Type Definitions (DTD).

Mobile Engine 3.0

For the Mobile Engine 3.0, we've discontinued the following functionality:

  • Tosca Mobile Assistant

  • Appium Server

  • TestProject

We recommend that you use the Tricentis Mobile Agent, which supports these functionalities.

Tricentis Data Integrity

Tricentis Data Integrity no longer supports WebHDFS as a source or target in reconciliation tests. For information on what to do with your WebHDFS reconciliation tests after the upgrade, click here.
