Key Responsibilities
1) Automation Architecture & Strategy
• Own the end‐to‐end Tosca automation architecture (framework standards, reusable design, maintainability, scalability).
• Define standards for object repository / reusable components, and “scriptless automation best practices” aligned to enterprise delivery.
2) Tosca Ecosystem & Integrations
• Drive integration with qTest and establish working patterns for repository alignment, traceability, and governance.
• Enable CI/CD adoption for Tosca execution (pipeline integration expectations are explicitly called out in Tosca role requirements).
3) Advanced Tosca Capabilities (OSV / API / AI)
• Implement and govern TOSCA OSV and API testing as part of automation strategy.
• Lead adoption of newer Agentic AI / AI‐based Tosca features, and Vision AI enablement for shift‐left use cases.
• Leverage Tosca AI assistance concepts (e.g., Copilot/AI assistance features mentioned in enterprise roadmap material) to improve authoring efficiency and execution insighting.
4) Test Data Management (TDM/TDS) & Touchless Execution
• Define strategy and best practices for TDM/TDS usage, data parameterization, and eliminating manual intervention during runs (touchless execution).
• Ensure robust data practices including external data sources, Excel/data manipulation, and stable execution patterns.
5) Distributed Execution & Execution Engineering
• Architect and operationalize Distributed Execution (DEX) for scale, throughput, and cycle predictability.
• Define execution governance: execution lists strategy, reliability patterns, and failure triage classification (automation vs environment/data). (This separation principle is also used in SOW success criteria language.)
6) Governance, Review & Enablement
• Create / enforce automation standards and SOP alignment across teams (SOP and standardized usage expectations exist in internal Tosca process material).
• Mentor leads/engineers and perform architectural reviews of automation assets to improve stability, reusability, and maintainability (senior Tosca roles explicitly include improving stability/maintainability).
Mandatory Skills
Core Tosca (Hands‐on + Architecture)
• Strong hands‐on and governance experience across:
• Tosca Commander (design/execution governance), multi‐user practices (where applicable)
• TDM/TDS, data parameterization, Excel/data manipulation
• DEX / distributed execution
• CI integration expectations with Tosca
SAP Automation Context (Preferred but strongly relevant for your SAP landscape)
• Exposure to SAP automation targets like SAP GUI / Fiori / S/4HANA, and understanding of E2E business process validation needs.
qTest Integration & Test Governance
• Ability to align Tosca automation delivery with test management governance (qTest‐to‐Tosca linkage and process training artifacts exist internally).
Certifications
• Prefer Tricentis certification path (AS1/AS2/AS3) — senior Tosca role templates list these as mandatory.
