Tosca Reporting: Standard and Custom Reports

Tosca by Tricentis offers powerful test automation capabilities, and one of its key strengths lies in its reporting features. Effective reporting helps QA teams analyze results, track test coverage, and communicate findings with stakeholders. Tosca provides both Standard Reports for out-of-the-box insights and Custom Reports for tailored analysis.

✅ Standard Reports in Tosca

Standard Reports are built-in and generated automatically during test execution. These reports provide essential insights into test case execution status, errors, and execution logs.

🔹 Key Types of Standard Reports:

Execution Logs

Shows step-by-step execution of each test case

Includes Passed/Failed status, actual vs. expected values, and screenshots (if enabled)

ExecutionLists Overview

Summarizes the status of all test cases in an execution list

Categorized as Passed, Failed, or Not Executed

Log Info Details

Provides detailed logs with timestamps, test steps, test data used, and error messages

Dashboard View (in Tosca Commander)

Visual status of recent test executions

Helps teams quickly assess the quality of the build

🧩 Custom Reports in Tosca

For advanced reporting needs, Tosca allows the creation of custom reports using external tools like Tosca BI, Data Integrity modules, or integration with external databases, Excel, Power BI, or QlikView.

🔹 How to Create Custom Reports:

Enable Tosca Data Integration (TDS)

Use Tosca Data Service to store and access test data and results

Export Execution Results

Export results to Excel, CSV, or a database for reporting

Use ExecutionList logs or custom Tosca modules for export

Use Tosca BI for Testing Reports

Compare expected vs. actual data in ETL pipelines

Generate validation reports from Tosca BI tests

Integrate with Reporting Tools

Tools like Power BI or Tableau can be connected to Tosca’s result database

Visual dashboards and KPIs can be created for broader business visibility

💡 Best Practices

Use folders and naming conventions to organize test cases and reports clearly.

Enable screenshots on failure for better debugging.

Schedule automated report exports for CI/CD pipelines.

Use filters and tags to generate focused custom reports (e.g., based on priority or module).

📌 Conclusion

Tosca’s standard reports provide immediate, detailed feedback on test execution, while custom reporting options allow for greater flexibility and business-aligned insights. By combining both, QA teams can ensure comprehensive reporting, better test visibility, and improved decision-making across projects.
