Tosca > TDM > Setting up

When working with Tosca sooner or later the need to store testdata in a database will arise. In Tosca this is supported via the 'TDM' functionality.

Before you can start writing testdata to a TDM database you'll need to create a 'class' in the TestCaseDesign section and assign attributes to that class corresponding to your TDM needs

• DO NOT FORGET to tick the 'TDM' column tickbox for every attribute which needs to make it into your TDM database.

Find the relevant modules in the section:
Modules\Tricentis\Tbox\Tbox XEngines\TestDataManagement



First create an object with the 'TDM Create Object' module.
Then set attributes with the 'TDM Set Attribute' module.
Then save the object to the TDM database with the 'TDM Save' module.

To retrieve an entry from TDM use the 'TDM Find Single Object' module. After the call an object with the given name is stored in memory. To access the TDM values of this object use the 'TD' function in Tosca:
{TD[[ObjectName].[AttributeName]]}

Tosca > TDM TQL search within a search

In our repository we have a TDM structure where the different TDM objects are linked with reletions. If you want to find one property via its link with another property this is done via a TQL query:

->RETURN All:[TDMObject1]->[TDMObject2][Property=="[property_value]"]

or: in human readable:

-> RETURN All:Portfolio->Client[Username=="login01"]
