Does anyone know which CI/CD tools integrate with Tricentis Tosca?

Hi community,

We're looking at a Tosca-Copado CI/CD solution for a particular client but I've seen that Copado doesn't support Tosca (April 2022). 

Is anyone out there doing this at the moment  (or aware of a plan by Tricentis to do this)? Any suggestions for alternative CI/CD solutions that integrate well with TOSCA?

*This is a high-level requirement at the moment as the project is still in initiation. So, I don't have more details yet.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Team,


I've created an article on integrating any CI/CD Tool with DEX in Tosca. Please go through the article and see if that helps.

Hi @Ann Godfrey, ​ 


Have Tricentis themselves provided you with a list of CI/CD tools that they do support with Tosca?


Amongst our client base, we are using Azure DevOps and Jenkins. I'd be surprised (and disappointed) if Tricentis is unable to provide a list of tools from across their global client base and experience. 


In terms of plans for Tricentis to include Copado support, you can log a product feature request with Tricentis (or see if one has been logged and add a supporting vote to the feature request).

Feedback from Tricentis.  


In theory, this is doable. There is a CI plugin and an executable that can be invoked from the CI/CD workflow.  


They indicated that if a hands-on POC or implementation assistance is required they can assist I will let you know whether we go ahead with a POC.

Hi team, 


We can integrate with any CI/CD tool to Tosca provided, that CI/CD tool supports Batch Command Execution. 


You can reach DM me for more information.

Hi Anju,

I uploaded an Article on Jenkins Integration with Dex. Same can be followed for Azure Devops. Here you have to create a pipeline to execute batch command

@Evgeny Belenky I checked their website and also did some investigation but no integration with Tosca (as of April 2022) as far as I can see.  Still waiting for a reply from their support line.

Hello peers,  I work for a large consultancy and am researching Tricentis Tosca. Do we require a separate license for DEX in Tosca? Please provide any information you may have. Thank you for your help.

No separate licence is required, no, for DEX. Running tests in a DEX environment does consume a licence. We encourage clients to schedule tests after hours when a licence isn't needed for designing automated tests so that the licence consumed by DEX does not impact test design and build work. If you are running tests during a time when a licence is needed for test design and build work then you will need to purchase another licence for the DEX client to use.

Yes DEX uses an execution license. Execution licenses come in packs and cost lesser than development licenses. If you have an execution license as part of your license then DEX machine Tosca automatically consumes the execution license otherwise it will go and use a development license.

Tosca fulfills our business needs better because it is an end-to-end solution across technologies. We like that it is scriptless, so even non-experienced staff can use it. To put it simply, with Tosca, we automated hundreds of scenarios, and it is the simplest we experienced. It is easy to execute the tests once they are built. Tosca also provides a wide variety of options, such as API automation, UI automation, load testing, and more. We like that it is a single platform for test automation, providing support for the CI/CD DevOps environment. It also runs cross-device and cross-browser. Not everything is perfect with Tosca, though. For instance, it is frustrating that they don’t support image comparison and visual validation. The upfront price can be a downside too. Worksoft Certify is a test automation platform that has the advantage of being code-free. Therefore, non-tech users can create, maintain and share end-to-end business process tests. If you use SAP automation, Worksoft Certify is better. You can automate, prepare and execute test scripts with ease. It works well for SAP; not so well for web applications with multiple frames. It easily integrates with third-party tools, and it is easy to maintain the scripts, too. Finally, the support is amazing. As for the downsides, Worksoft Certify It is not particularly intuitive or user-friendly. Although being codeless is an advantage, enabling non-tech staff to work on the tool, on the other hand, codeless also means you cannot add condition case blocks, making Worksoft Certify less flexible. Although it features web automation, it is really slow and sometimes can crash - one of the things Worksoft Certify should include in supporting API testing. Conclusions We prefer Tricentis Tosca because of the multiple features and ease of use. Worksoft Certify could be a better option for organizations working with SAP.
