Hello, I am facing issue, like. In my automation script I am using {ENTER} keyword in test steps. This working fine in my local machine (HOST), But in Remote machine when I am triggering the same test case its failing. The scenario is--Logs showing the test step as passed but actually its failing since tosca failed to find element from next window. If the {ENTER} functionality working fine, it supposed to navigate to next window. As its not working thats why its not moving to next window. This is for SAP Automation Please suggest what I need to do in this case.  

the issue of automating the JavaScript sign-in popup in Tosca, which resulted in the "could not find the window" error: Adding More Waiting Time: You increased the synchronization or wait time (e.g., via WaitOn or timeout settings) to allow the popup to load fully before interaction, hoping to resolve timing-related issues. Selecting the Modal Popup First Before Input: You added a step to select or activate the modal popup container before attempting to input data into the username and password fields, aiming to establish the correct context for subsequent actions. Editing Focus Properties in XScan to True: During the XScan process (using the UIA engine), you modified the focus properties of the scanned elements (e.g., setting focus to true) to ensure the fields were interactable, but this didn’t resolve the issue. Using UIA Engine for Scanning: You initially scanned the components using the UIA (UI Automation) engine, which treats the popup as a window, and attempt

Hi,I am getting an intermittent error “Error while connecting to database. Please check your connection information is correct”. I recently upgraded the ODBC driver to version 18. Is it something related to this - Did anyone face this error?

I am trying to convert Business Test case which consists of noramal test cases into a Business Template Test Case. How the data parametrization should be implemented in this scenario. Say for example, In Demo webshop scenario I have normal test cases for Login Process , Checkout Process, Payment Method Selection, Order Confirmation. All these are normal individual test cases. I combine these into Business Test Case and convert to Business Template. Now How to link Test Sheet or Exce Data Source and pass the Payment Method as Credit Card, Money Order, Purchase Order, Cash On Delivery from Business Test Case Template to child test case Payment Method Selection and create 4 different instances for Credit Card, Mondey Order, Purchase Order and Cash On Delivery. When I searched for the solution in ChatGPT [since I could not information from any other source like KB Article, Google], it has recommened this solution.   Expand your BTCT (Order Placement in Demowebshop). You should see a chil

Hi everyone,I’m looking to understand how customer service automation tools can be effectively integrated into quality engineering and testing workflows. Specifically, I’m interested in solutions that can streamline support processes, handle routine inquiries, and free up teams to focus on higher-value tasks, all without compromising service quality.Has anyone here implemented such tools in a QA or testing environment? I’d love to hear about your experiences, lessons learned, and any best practices you’ve found for balancing automation with human oversight.

We have scanned a tree table in my application which is built in SAP UI5 Tree table design but it's not identifing as a Tree Table structure and it's showing normal table with rows and columns.Do we need to install any custom control's for this issue?I have downloaded XML file for custom control's from chatgpt but still it's not able to identify as Tree Table.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Agility and quickness are now essential in the rapidly changing field of software development; they are no longer optional. Today's businesses need frequent upgrades, quick releases, and a zero-tolerance policy for errors or performance problems. To meet these high expectations, Agile development teams have adopted a variety of tools and strategies to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality. Among the most impact of these strategies is Shift-Left Testing, a practice that is fundamentally changing the way software is tested and released.This post explores the concept of shift-left testing, why it matters in Agile environments, and how teams can implement it to achieve faster releases, better collaboration, and higher quality products.What is Shift-Left Testing?Traditionally, software testing is performed toward the end of the development lifecycle after the code has been written, integrated, and even deployed to staging. This practice often delays bug discovery and makes defect

Hi everyone! I’m Victoria Novoa, the social media intern at Tricentis this summer.  I’m currently researching ideas for a potential project (purely hypothetical for now) would would explore how we could work with credible AI influencers to expand our thought leadership and reach.  Who are your favorite AI or ML influencers on LinkedIn or YouTube? I’m especially looking for people who: Talk about Agentic AI, autonomous testing, or generative AI Have big, engaged followings (preferably around 80k-300k followers)  Interact actively with their audience If you have any favorites, please share names, handles, or links- your input would really help!!! Thanks so much! Victoria Novoa

I.m doing Manual Testing since more than a year and now I wanna advance my career in QA field so please suggest me best way to advance my career. what should I do for Automation testing, load testing etc..

 How we ensure that test cases returned by the chatgpt are accurate or not Test cases priority criteria must be on some grounds QA Team Focus is on efficiency currently No 1 criteria: How our QA process must be designed as catch all process.. output drive process Human dependency is at an extreme level still in our process. E.g how chatgpt returns correct solutions or all test cases. Create an ideal state of QA process. Current vs New User requirements document must be followed by test cases. 90% QA must be done at developer level Rameel must be part of every automation process QA Team must be doing edge cases, stress testing and cover the rest of the 10% process. UI/UX is ignored in this process The post launch plan is not up to the mark. We are working reactionary instead of taking pre reaction measures We need to step back to our dev process. Because the dev process will directly leads to automation testing and reducing bugs. Try to automate all the steps of QA at max Every new laun

I have a quick question and I'm curious to see how people respond. Ever since this video, more and more projects require accessibility testing. I'm curious—what tools or procedures do you use for that?I have a few on my list, and each day I come across more and more—like this one, for example. But I’d prefer to hear opinions or get a few ideas directly from people. Google or Perplexity are full of articles that just copy each other, and tools that are either super expensive or just weird.Thanks!

As software evolves so should our identified risks and tests, to keep them up-to-date, valuable, and relevant.Do you regularly review your risks and use this information to update your existing tests?How do you do this for your project? or organization?

Before SoW,  if client requested Employer to provide some measures like Test Estimations or Strategies with in TestOps, what would be the best and quick way to provide the information on Test Estimations and strategic testing techniques to the client?

In software testing, a non-reproducible bug represents a complex challenge where: A reported issue cannot be consistently recreatedThe bug appears sporadicallyTraditional testing methods fail to capture the exact scenarioAny suggestions must appreciated 🙂

Hi Team,I'm unable to log in to my Tricentis Academy account. Could someone assist me with this?Thanks!

"Security testing isn’t just about preventing hacks.It’s about earning trust."(Ever heard of a more important KPI?)Here’s the truth:Most companies only think about security after a breach.By then, it’s too late.Here’s a better approach:1️⃣ Think like an attacker.If you can spot vulnerabilities before they do, you’re already ahead.2️⃣ Make it a habit, not a project.Security testing isn’t a “one and done.” It’s a mindset.3️⃣ Involve your entire team.Your developers, testers, and even marketing teams can play a role in strengthening your defenses.A breach costs more than just money.It costs reputation, customer trust, and sometimes even careers.Here’s my challenge to you:What’s one thing your team can do this week to improve security?Drop your ideas in the comments. Let’s inspire some action.

It sparked various questions about the process behind what to do with critical production bugs. I’m curious to know: What steps do you take when you discover a critical bug in production?Who owns what and who does what?Who is kept in the loop?What announcements are made?What official documentation supports the process?What’s your experience contributing to disaster recovery processes and documents?What did you learn from the critical bug in production? What did you do differently for the next one? (if indeed there was “a next one”)

I use a lot of different sources which I plan to share, but I’d like to know where you learn about tools. Sharing sources with new learners is going to open their options for what tools to play with, which can only be a good thing. So reply with where you find tools and why you use that source.
