Run your tests

You've done your part: created test cases, did trial runs of these test cases, and created playlists. Now, it's time to hand over your test suite to Tricentis Tosca. Start a test run to verify whether your application meets its business and success criteria.

Before you start

Make sure you have available agents to run your playlist.

Note that Tricentis Tosca records test runs to provide you with video recording of any failed test, so that you can debug it. To avoid capturing sensitive information, make sure to close all windows on the agent machines that you don't need for the test run.

Trigger a test run

To start a test run, go to Playlists and select the playlist. Then, choose one of the following options:

• Run > Run on personal agent to do a trial run of the playlist on your workstation. This is similar to a single test case trial run: the results are only visible to you, and you need to have local components installed on your workstation.

  You don't have to do a trial run every time, but we do recommend one before your first real run. For example, to find and remove any dependencies between tests, which interfere with your test sequence.

• Run to test your application in earnest. These results are visible to your whole team.

What's next

Monitor your progress and results on the Test runs page. Does your application behave as expected?
