Modern enterprises face increasing pressure to deliver high-quality mobile applications across complex environments and diverse device landscapes. To meet these demands, cloud-native test automation is no longer optional—it's essential.

Tosca Cloud delivers a scalable, streamlined, and intelligent platform for mobile testing. This article explores the recent enhancements to Tosca’s cloud-based mobile testing capabilities, including a fully modular configuration interface, zero-footprint execution, and seamless device cloud integration.

Benefits of Cloud-Native Mobile Testing with Tosca

1. Lower Infrastructure Overhead
Tosca Cloud eliminates the heavy lifting of infrastructure maintenance. No more installing or updating multiple agents and workstations across environments—execution agents and platform updates are automatically managed and delivered.

2. Always Current and Secure
With weekly deployments to all production tenants, customers automatically receive the latest features, OS compatibility updates, and security patches. This continuous delivery approach ensures your mobile test automation stays in sync with rapidly evolving mobile technologies.

3. Zero-Footprint Execution
Tosca Cloud supports execution through popular real-device cloud providers such as Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, LambdaTest, and Perfecto. Users can execute tests directly via cloud agents—no local device farms required.

4. Simplified Learning Curve
A reimagined mobile configuration interface makes it easier than ever to set up, reuse, and scale mobile tests. This intuitive design significantly lowers the entry barrier for teams transitioning to cloud-based mobile testing.

A Fully Modular Configuration Approach

The latest Tosca Cloud update introduces a modular way to define mobile connections and capabilities:

• Reusable Capability Sets: Define components like platform, device, app, or test-specific options independently and combine them as needed.

• Connection Templates: Easily import configuration details from cloud device providers and apply them directly within Tosca Cloud.

• Unified Scanning and Execution: Use the same configurations for both scanning applications and running automated tests—ensuring consistency and reducing setup effort.

This modular strategy empowers teams to create flexible, maintainable, and highly readable test cases tailored to dynamic mobile testing scenarios.

Seamless Web-Based Test Creation

Tosca Cloud provides a fully browser-based test case editor that replicates the power of Tosca Commander—no installation required.

Users can:

• Create mobile test cases using reusable building blocks

• Integrate test data dynamically using built-in data management tools

• Mix mobile steps with other technologies for true end-to-end testing

• Reuse modules across teams and projects with ease

Centralized Execution and Reporting

All execution results are stored in a centralized dashboard with rich reporting features.

Users can:

• Monitor test outcomes in real time

• Share results with read-only users across teams

• Gain insights from integrated analytics

Whether running mobile, web, API, or desktop tests, teams benefit from a unified execution and reporting pipeline.

What’s Next: AI-Driven Test Configuration

Tosca Cloud is moving toward a future of intelligent test automation setup. Planned enhancements include:

• AI-powered prompts to auto-generate connection and capability configurations

• Guided workflows to select and apply the right settings for test creation

• Enhanced templating to support reuse across large-scale projects

These innovations will further reduce manual effort and increase agility in mobile testing.
