Install local components

Depending on the environment you choose for test authoring and test execution, Tosca Cloud requires some local components.

If your organization has restrictions on installations triggered by regular users, you need to prepare a roll-out:

• On all user machines that should be able to use Tosca XScan and perform trial runs on a personal agent.

• On all team agent machines, if you want to run your tests on team agents.

Launcher

Tosca Cloud needs Launcher to install and manage necessary components on user and team agent machines. You need Launcher if you want to use Tosca XScan or set up a machine as a personal or team agent.

To install it, follow these steps:

1. Select  Downloads from the top menu.

2. In the pop up menu, find Launcher Installer and select Download.

3. Install Launcher:

   • For GUI installations, double-click the LauncherSetup.exe file in your downloads folder and then follow the on-screen instructions.

• For unattended installation, use the package management tool of your choice. Make sure to add the parameter --silent to your installation command. For example, LauncherSetup.exe --silent.

And you're done! Tosca Cloud silently updates Launcher when needed.

Browser extensions

Tosca Cloud needs browser extensions to automate the following browsers during scans with Tosca XScan and during test execution on team agents:

• Tricentis Automation Extension for Chrome for tests in Google Chrome. Install via Chrome web store (opens in new tab).

• Tricentis Automation Extension for Edge for tests in Microsoft Edge. Install via Microsoft web store (opens in new tab).

Browser extensions are versioned, but Tosca Cloud doesn't trigger auto-updates.
