Which are the different types of Errors in Tosca?

In the handling of errors and exceptions, Tosca differentiates between three types of errors:

Verification-Failure: verification does not provide the expected results (e.g. an invoice total differs from the TestCase definition).
Dialog-Failure: the application wants to steer a control which does either not exist or is not in an operational state. Application errors like crashes or jams (i.e. if the application is not responding) also belong to this category.
User Abort: Abort of the test execution by the user

Tosca Reporting allows reports to be created for which object types?

Tosca Reporting allows reports to be created for the following object types -

Modules
TestCases
ExecutionLists
ExecutionLogs
Requirements (Requirements Management AddIn)
Requirement sets (Requirements Management AddIn)

How does Tosca Testsuite supports Model Based and Risk Based Testing?

Tricents Tosca is used for helping us to define our test cases by first scanning the application, it contains the automation logic that is decoupled from the test logic specified as a test case.
The required models are defined, they can be used for executing manual and automated test cases with input and verfication data.They are dynamic, synchronized with the application under tests and also can be updated to reflecting any changes in the application while eliminating the maintenance challeges of traditional approaches.

What are Dynamic Expression available in Tosca?

There are 4 types of Dynamic Expression available in Tosca:

Random numbers {RND[]}
Random text {RANDOMTEXT[]}
Random character strings (16 byte long) {CTMSTMP}
Intervals {INT[+/-]} Example - 123,6{INT[+/-5]}

What are the components of the Tosca Testsuite package?

The components of Tosca Testsuite Package are:
Tosca Commander acts like an IDE which is used for creating projects.
Tosca Executor helps in executing the test cases.
Tosca XScan helps in scanning input fields and also in saving the information as modules.
Test Repository helps in saving all the workspaces.

What are the types of errors in Tosca?

There are many types of Errors in Tosca:
Verification Failure - It helps in expecting results that are not attained during verification.
Dialog Failure - It helps in checking application errors such as crashes or jams or tries to go in a path which does not exist.
User Abort - It helps when the users stops the test execution.
