Tricentis Tosca
Intelligent test automation software. Tricentis Tosca optimizes and accelerates end-to-end testing of your entire digital landscape. Its codeless, AI-powered approach accelerates innovation across your enterprise by taking the bottlenecks out of testing and the risks out of software releases.

Tricentis Testim and Tricentis Tosca, despite their rather serious-sounding names, both claim to make life easier for testers who’d rather not spend their days clicking the same button over and over again. They both use AI to do clever things like healing broken tests before anyone notices, which is quite considerate of them. They also ensure that tests can run across different browsers and platforms, which is useful if you enjoy making software behave itself everywhere. Both integrate with CI/CD pipelines, meaning they fit nicely into modern development workflows and give the illusion of everything being under control.

Testim, originally from Israel, was an independent and rather nimble entity until Tricentis acquired it in 2022, presumably over a cup of coffee and a legally binding contract. It excels at web and mobile UI testing, making it a favorite among Agile teams that move faster than software really should. Its AI-powered self-healing feature helps tests recover from minor mishaps, much like a robot nurse applying band-aids to slightly bruised code.

Tosca, on the other hand, has been around since 2007, which in software years makes it practically a sage. Born in Austria, it takes a more structured approach with model-based test automation, which sounds intimidating but really just means it creates reusable models instead of making testers write scripts. It’s the tool of choice for large enterprises and industries where software failures lead to things exploding or, worse, very angry compliance officers. Unlike its younger sibling, Tosca is designed to handle not just UI, but also APIs, databases and anything else that dares to misbehave in an IT system.
