Configure options and settings > Settings Dialog > Settings – Engine >
Settings – DokuSnapper
Q63) What is TDS?
Ans: TDS stands for Test Data Service, which is used for test data management
in Tosca. Using TDS, we can store the dynamic test data in a shared location
which is easy to read/ update by the test case. As the data stored in a shared
location, it is useful to share the same dynamic data across multiple test cases.
Also, we can update it without opening Tosca as it’s treated as a separate
component.

Q64) Explain the API Testing using TOSCA? Explain the advantages.
Ans: API stands for Application Interface. In a multi-application environment
where one application is interacting other application through API, we have to
wait for the completion of development of all the application for testing. So the
testing is going to be a time-consuming process. Instead of that, we can start
the testing of APIs once any of the application is ready to reduce the execution
cycle time. So API testing is an approach to test the interface through API
before integration of the entire application. Tosca provides an API scanning
wizard; through this, we can scan the API and creates API modules. Later
based on the module, we can create test cases to perform Tosca API Testing.
The advantages are –
• Fast execution.
• Reduce execution cycle time.
• Testing can be initiated before system integration.

Q65) Explain the exploratory testing features available in Tosca?
