Answer 1

Additionally to what Kapil said above (which was about using browsers), here is how you can actually "launch" (=start) browsers.

Tosca treats browsers like any other application - you can start a browser using the TBox Start Program module (that you can get access to by importing the standard subset).

Tosca's manual actually provides an example of how to start Internet Explorer using that module, it works in a similar fashion with the other browsers. Here is a screenshot:

For the sake of completeness, here's the link to the manual for more details: https://support.tricentis.com/community/manuals_detail.do?lang=en&version=10.0.0&url=ep_tbox/process_operations/process_operations.htm

We cannot trigger multiple browsers in TOSCA, but it supports cross browser execution. For cross browser execution: 1. Create a Test Configuration Parameter "Browser" either at TestCase or at its parent levels. 2. We can choose value InternetExplorer, Firefox, or Chrome. 3. The execution will be triggered on respective browser.

In order to achieve parallel execution we have to go with Distributed Execution (DEX).
