I'm a non-corporate user with a Tosca trial-license issue and I can't find a way to reach support.Background: I finished AS1 and AS2 and started the TDS1 course a few months ago, but when I wanted to continue today Tosca Commander could no longer load a valid license from the cloud license server.Attempt 1: I checked under https://support-hub.tricentis.com/open?id=training_license_request and it shows two training license requests with state ‘Deployed’ with the latest updated on "2026-05-14” and the [Request Cloud Training License] button is greyed out with the tooltip “User already requested too many training license requests”. (There is no delete button or any other option either.)Attempt 2: So I sent an email. Got an email back saying "we have discontinued the option to open Academy cases (former: incidents) via e-mail. Please log into the Tricentis Support Hub and connect with the Virtual Agent to find a solution” Fine.Attempt 3: I go to the support hub, find the virtual agent and
I am using a Shift Sync account with my organisation's email address, and I am leaving this organisation now. How should I change my Email address for my Shift Sync account?
I asked AI to generate a regression suite.It understood the assignment.Maybe a little too well.It generated:✅ 427 login tests✅ 189 password reset tests✅ 96 variations of "user clicks the button"And...One payment test.Apparently, losing millions is less important than making sure the Login button works on a Tuesday.😂This is the part of AI-generated testing that doesn't get enough attention.AI is fantastic at generating tests.It doesn't automatically understand risk.It doesn't know: which feature makes your company money which workflow customers use the most which bug will wake up your CTO at 2 AM which release would make LinkedIn explode with angry posts That's still our job.The future of Quality Engineering isn't spending all day writing test scripts.It's reviewing, prioritizing, and teaching AI what actually matters.I'll happily let AI generate 1,000 tests.But before I merge them, I'm asking one question:"Which of these would I be sad to delete?"If the answer is "almost none"..
Everyone is excited that AI can write tests.Far fewer teams are asking a more important question:Who is testing the prompts?In traditional software, business logic lives in code.In AI applications, part of the business logic lives in prompts.That means a prompt change can introduce a bug just as easily as a code change.I've seen teams:• Change a single sentence and break production behavior.• Improve one use case while degrading five others.• Fix one prompt and accidentally increase hallucinations.Prompt engineering isn't just about writing better prompts.It's about building prompts that are:✅ Testable✅ Repeatable✅ Versioned✅ MeasurableIf your prompts change but you have no regression suite…You're deploying blind.As AI applications mature, prompt testing will become as normal as unit testing.The teams that start today will have a significant advantage.How does your team validate prompt changes before they reach production?#AI #PromptEngineering #SoftwareTesting #QualityEngineering #LLM
AI tools & productivity in a nutshell:Save lists → never openBookmark resources → never useSubscribe to newsletters → never read(Your “Saved for later” folder is basically a digital graveyard at this point.)

The Challenge of Salesforce TestingSalesforce is a powerful but complex platform, and testing it can sometimes feel like finding your way through a labyrinth. QA engineers often face tedious, repetitive test scenarios that must cover countless combinations of objects, fields, and user permissions. Manually clicking through each scenario (or writing long Selenium scripts) isn’t just time-consuming; it’s also prone to human error and difficult to maintain. Every time Salesforce updates or a business process changes, testers may spend hours updating scripts or re-running manual tests to ensure nothing broke.Sound familiar? If you’ve ever had to verify every picklist value for every user role, or retest a 100-step flow after a minor change, you know the pain. Even traditional automation can require a whole team of experienced coders building and fixing scripts. It’s enough to make any tester reach for a third cup of coffee! ☕️But what if testing Salesforce could be smarter, faster, and (da
Hi Team,Recently completed courses is transferred to new mail id. But for completed courses AS1 and AS2 , completion certificates are not available which was earlier available. Also at course level i can see course being completed, But module level entire course is showing as not completed.I tried to connect to support , but getting permission related issue.Kindly help in this regard.
Everyone is talking about AI writing test automation.But here's the question I think we're asking too infrequently:Does AI actually understand your product? Check the below video with common "AI tells" that appear in generated tests—patterns that reveal the model is writing syntactically correct code without understanding the business it's supposed to validate. We look at four common pathologies:Coverage blindspotsThe mocking trapBrittle assertionsMechanics over meaning AI is an incredible productivity tool, but passing tests don't necessarily mean you're testing the right things.If you're using AI to generate Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or unit tests, these are the signs to watch for. I'd love to hear your experience: Have you noticed any AI tells in the tests it generates?#AI #TestAutomation #SoftwareTesting #QualityEngineering #Playwright #Selenium #QA #SDET #SoftwareEngineering #GenerativeAI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeIFv5uBM0M
Hello all,we are integrating our Tosca Cloud tenant with SAP Cloud ALM (Test Automation Endpoint).For this integration we need an API client with OAuth2 Client Credentials (Client ID & Client Secret) with the permission "Test Automation". We have checked both "System settings" and "Integrations" in our Tosca Cloud tenant, but there is no option available to create an API client ourselves. We have Tenant Admin rights, but this does not seem to be sufficient to generate OAuth2 credentials via self-service.
Hello ,I have completed the course and taken all quizzes and final exam. But certificate is not sent to my email. could you please check?thanks,Shruthi
Hi @PolinaKr, I'm having the same issue. I completed the "Gen AI for Testers" course by Rahul, including all quizzes and the final exam, but I don't see any certificate/badge on my profile (checked "Badges" section — it's empty). My profile: shiftsync.tricentis.com/members/maham-masood-21241. Could you please check and grant it? Thanks, Maham
Hello,I am trying to figure out if this is even possible. I want to have for ‘one swagger api’ an API test module that is ‘generic’ that I can feed the method and all the various request items to it and send using the TCD test sheet. So think of it as one module but ‘many tests’ including type, test data, methods different (POST/GET) etc. Is this a possibility? I have tried but seem to be limited to just the ‘one’ URL Ideas anyone? We can’t use external tools as we are on premisis and secure but want the maximum flexibility without having to do rescans every time or have a separate module for each type of call? ThanksI have one test of one endpoint with a bunch of security tests I can run in Test sheet varying the values of fields like token, user, parameter data, etc but that seems to be all I can do.appreciate any help,
We're excited to share the 2026 Tricentis Quality Transformation Report with the ShiftSync community.

HI, What’s UserID i need to give before starting the Quiz.?
Hi TeamI have completed the “AI Fundamentals (Generative AI for Testers)” course and successfully completed all 5 quizzes. However, even after submitting the results, I have not yet received the completion certificate either in my profile or in my registered email.Could you please check and help resolve this issue?
I saw this meme and… yeah, this is exactly what working with AI feels like right now 😅You finally get comfortable with one update…maybe even feel a little confident using it…And then:“New update”“Newest update”“Tomorrow’s update”At some point you just sit there like:“Wait… am I even using the right version anymore?” 😂I’ve caught myself going down the rabbit hole of trying to keep up with everything…and honestly, it’s exhausting.Lately, I’ve been approaching it differently:Instead of chasing every new release,I focus on understanding what actually changes and how it impacts my work.Because the truth is:Most updates don’t change everything… but they do change something that matters.And that’s where the real value is.Curious how others are handling this pace—Are you trying to keep up with every update, or just focusing on what’s relevant?#AI #TechLife #ContinuousLearning #SoftwareTesting #QualityEngineering
Hello!sorry to bother you all… it looks like I’m not enabled to use official support channels. Unfortunately, I missed the Detecting and Preventing LLM Hallucinations webinar, which could be very interesting for my work. Is there any way to get the recording?Thank you so much!
With a normal API or UI you test deterministic systems — same input, same output, every time. AI agents break that contract completely. The same prompt can produce different reasoning paths, different tool call sequences, and different outputs across runs. That non-determinism is the core challenge. Ηοw would you test this system? A question that sparks the skills needed for testers in the new era!

A malicious file labeled “2026_Salary_Increase.pdf.exe” was opened by a large portion of employees — including the Incident Response team. Let that sink in. This isn’t about lack of intelligence. It’s about how easily human psychology can be exploited:Curiosity (salary increase)Urgency (what if I’m missing out?) Trust in familiar file naming patterns Key takeaways for teams: • File extensions still matter — .pdf.exe is a red flag• Security awareness training must be continuous, not one-off• Even security teams need realistic phishing simulations• Technology alone won’t save you — behavior will The real vulnerability isn’t the system. It’s the assumption that “this wouldn’t fool me.” When was the last time your organization tested this?#CyberSecurity #Phishing #SecurityAwareness #InfoSec #QA #RiskManagement
A few years ago, I was proud of a UI automation suite I built.Hundreds of tests.Clean reports.Everything green.Until production started failing.Users reported errors we had never seen.But our UI tests were still passing.So I went deeper.Instead of clicking through the UI, I started testing the APIs directly.That’s when things became obvious:• The API returned inconsistent data• Some responses were missing critical fields• Error handling was completely broken• Edge cases were never validatedThe UI was masking all of it.It handled errors silently.It retried requests.It hid failures behind “friendly messages.”Our UI tests were verifying the illusion of stability.Not the system itself.That changed how I approach testing.Now I start with APIs:→ Validate contracts→ Break requests intentionally→ Test edge cases early→ Then verify UI behaviorBecause if the foundation is broken…Testing the surface won’t help.Do you start testing from the UI or the API?
It’s easy to jump too far in the future and imagine what AI will look like and how it may help us do all the things.However, in reality, we have to take steps towards a future that (may) look like that.What tedious, boring or repetitive tasks are you actually using AI for? (or plan to in the near future)
By Aurélien Lair, Co-organiser at CTMI remember the first time I tried to navigate one of my own applications using just a screen reader. It was a humbling and frankly, frustrating experience.As testers, we spend our days obsessing over performance, security and UI consistency. Yet, far too often, we treat accessibility (a11y) as a mysterious, specialised discipline that requires "expert" status to even begin.I remember this coming up at our meetup. This topic sparked a deep discussion (resources, time, costs, you name it) as it is an industry-wide challenge. But the consensus was clear: accessibility shouldn't be treated as a separate job for a specialized team. It’s a core piece of quality engineering. If we are serious about building software that serves everyone, we can’t ignore the barriers that many users face simply because they don't fit our "standard" testing scenarios (1.3 billion people or 16% of the global population experience significant disability according to the World
Hi everyone, I’m James, a pentester focused on web application and API security. I spend most of my time exploring vulnerabilities and real attack paths. For the past few years, I’ve been building ZeroThreat AI, an automated pentesting tool with exploit validation and agentic AI testing capabilities. I joined the community to share ideas, learn from others, and discuss how security testing is evolving from manual to automated, and then with agentic AI tools. Ciao!!!!
