Building Your Specialized SAP Workshop in Tricentis Tosca

You’ve registered, licensed, and installed the software. Now comes the most exciting part: building your foundation.

Think of a new automation project like a workshop. You wouldn’t just throw a few tools into an empty garage and hope for the best. You need a specialized space, custom-built for the job at hand. In Tricentis Tosca, that “specialized space” is your SAP Workspace.

Part 1: The Essential Blueprint (Understanding Subsets)

Every master craftsman starts with a plan. In the world of Tosca, your blueprint is a Subset (a file with a .tsu extension).

A subset isn’t just a file; it’s a pre-packaged template overflowing with reusable artifacts. By downloading the SAP-specific .tsu from the Tricentis Academy, you’re not starting with a blank slate. You’re starting with a “Head Start Kit” that includes pre-built modules for login screens, common buttons, and complex SAP controls.

Part 2: Assembling Your Workspace (The 6-Step Guide)

Building your workspace is a streamlined, 6-step process within Tosca Commander:

Create New: Initiate a new workspace from the home menu.
Select Repository Type: Choose ‘None’ for a single-user workspace.
Name Your Project: Use a clear, descriptive name (e.g., SAP_Finance_Automation).
Check “Use Workspace Template”: This is the magic step where you tell Tosca not to use the default settings.
Select Your SAP Blueprint: Browse to the .tsu file you downloaded earlier.
Click OK: Sit back as Tosca builds your customized workshop.

Part 3: A Tour of Your Tools

Once your workspace is built, take a moment to explore. You’ll find a library of reusable SAP modules and pre-captured controls. These tools are designed to save you hours of manual work, allowing you to focus on high-level test logic rather than individual button clicks.

Part 4: Collaboration is Baked-In

The “Workshop” philosophy doesn’t end with your own machine. Tosca makes it incredibly easy to:

Give Help: Export your own custom modules as a subset to share with teammates.
Get Help: Import subsets from your colleagues to instantly add their hard work to your own environment.
