Tosca Authoring Automated Testcase

Author automated test case — Tosca Cloud

Build automated tests from existing Cloud modules. Hybrid: toscactl discovery + tn scaffold.

Prerequisite: tosca-cloud-connect. tn configured for scaffold step.

Runtime: tn for Builder scaffold — see runtime-routing.md.

Guardrails

• Reuse existing modules only. No UI scanning — report gaps.
• Confirm folder/name and module sources before scaffolding.
• All steps at creation — include full testSteps in scaffold call.

Session checklist

Author automated Cloud test:
- [ ] Understand scenario
- [ ] Find modules [toscactl]
- [ ] Match steps to modules (report gaps)
- [ ] scaffoldTestCase [tn]
- [ ] Verify [toscactl or tn]

toscactl (default) — module discovery

toscactl assets find --type module --name "<partial>" --json --silent
toscactl assets find --type folder --name "<folder>" --json --silent

Present candidates to user before scaffolding.

tn (gap fallback) — scaffold

tn --loop "Activate /tosca. Create automated test '<name>' reusing modules from folders <folders>. Report module gaps. loop_complete when done."

Fast path

1. Understand goal — user description → test flow
2. [toscactl] Find modules — assets find --type module
3. User picks modules — present candidates
4. [tn] Scaffold — tosca_builder_scaffoldTestCase with module references
5. [toscactl] Verify — assets find --type testCase --name "<name>"
