Tricentis Tosca’s 2025 release notes mention a change to the idle timeout licensing configuration. In earlier versions, we could already configure idle timeouts in the settings for workspace users. What specifically changed with this feature in the 2025 release compared to previous versions?

Hi TeamCurrently we have only the TTA integrated with cloud ALM installed. We have found that we have also access to the ECT version. How to get the activation code to upgrade the plan.RegardsKarthick

Hi Team,Recently completed courses is transferred to new mail id.

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,

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! 

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)

I once tested a password reset feature. Everything worked.Emails sent correctly.Tokens expired properly. But out of curiosity I tried something strange.I requested 100 password resets in 10 seconds. The system happily sent them all.That meant anyone could spam users with reset emails. Not a typical functional bug.But definitely a security and abuse issue.Sometimes testing means asking unusual questions like:"What happens if someone abuses this feature?" QA is not just about correctness.It's about resilience. Have you ever tested rate limits intentionally? 

One of the biggest lessons in my QA career came from a failed automation suite. We had hundreds of tests.Great coverage.Fast execution.But production still had bugs. Why?...........................Because our tests verified features, not user behavior. Real users behaved differently.They navigated unpredictably.They refreshed pages.They switched devices. Automation eventually improved when we started designing tests around user journeys instead of components. Automation should mirror how real people use the product.Do your tests reflect real user behavior?

Early in my automation career I believed something dangerous:"If automation passes, the system is safe."One release proved me wrong.All tests were green.CI pipeline passed.Deployment happened.Minutes later support reported users couldn't complete checkout.The issue?Our automation mocked the payment service.The real integration had changed.Automation verified the mock, not the system.That moment changed how I design tests.Now I always ask:Are we testing reality?Or just a simulation?Automation should reduce risk.But only if it tests real system behavior.Have you ever seen automation give a false sense of security? 

Hi Team,We are planning to conduct a PoC for a Salesforce project. We would like to understand Tosca’s capabilities for Salesforce automation, including its support for rapid automation. Can anyone share your experiences with us.Thanks,Sudha

Hey all!I would like to buffer a regex value. I have a very long payload with customer data and I’d like to extract only the customer’s number. This whole payload is stored in “Result”. I have built this regex: {REGEX["customerNumber":"[0-9]+"]}And I want to store this extraction into a buffer.Anyone can support please? Thank you!

Please see below steps taken in the screenshot.I am getting below error message. Please advise.

On the ShiftSync website (https://shiftsync.tricentis.com/), I keep getting logged out every other day. Even when I select “Remember Me” before login, it doesn’t work, when I open the site, the default dashboard is visible and I have to click the Login CTA again and re-enter my credentials.Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or is it just happening to me?

In many workplaces, feedback becomes a routine activity. Meetings happen. Forms get filled. Comments are recorded. But expectations stay unclear, examples are missing, and next steps are vague. Over time, feedback turns into a process to complete rather than a responsibility to grow.A more useful way to think about feedback is as a learning tool, not a policy requirement. Effective feedback is grounded in facts, considers context, makes expectations explicit, and focuses on behavior rather than personality. Most importantly, it leads to clear actions and ongoing conversations, not one-time events.This shift is especially relevant in testing and engineering teams, where intent is usually good, but outcomes often fall short. Without structure and clarity, even well-meant feedback fails to create progress.Sharing this here to encourage reflection and discussion on how feedback is given, received, and used for real growth within teams.https://ujjwalkumarsingh.substack.com/p/feedback-from-p

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on integrating Generative AI into our test automation framework and could use some expert advice. Has anyone had experience using AI to enhance test case generation or maintenance? Any recommendations on best practices or tools would be greatly appreciated!

Fiori application scanning of a drop down used to show the element type as ‘Dropdown’ before but now it is showing as ‘Input’ like a text field. We can scan the element, but the drop-down options are no longer showing for selection in TOSCA (which they were used to properly show before). This is blocking the scripting as entering a text in Dropdown is not possible.

For our new product, I have the Figma design and not having requirement document. In this figma design, I have more detailing. How can I convert the design to test scenarios and script in a easy way and also how we can automate the same since manual effort is huge for this
