Streamlined ETRM - RightAngle Test Automation with Tricentis Tosca

Updated: Sep 25

At Elevon Global Tech we help energy and utilities clients like PBF Energy accelerate quality engineering by combining domain expertise in ETRM/CTRM systems (Endur, RightAngle) with proven automation frameworks. Our Tosca + DEX + qTest approach enables robust test design, scalable distributed execution, and centralized reporting — exactly what complex trading and scheduling environments demand.

Infographic for Elevon's E-TradeX Engine details automation steps with Tricentis Tosca, featuring bullet points, visuals, and flowchart.

RightAngle Tosca Automation Best Practices -Why RightAngle & Tosca Require a Strategic Approach

Identifying and steering objects in RightAngle’s rich client and web components isn’t trivial. Dynamic IDs, pop-ups, and complex deal tables can make naïve automation brittle. We apply a layered strategy to build stable, maintainable tests from day one:

  • Prioritize Identification Methods: Properties first (stable IDs, names, classes). Use multiple properties when needed. Anchors for non-unique controls (anchor to a stable nearby element).Index for list positions when order is consistent. Image-based steering only as a last resort for custom controls.

  • Optimize Module Creation: Descriptive module attribute names (“DealPriceField” not “TextBox12”).Select only stable properties; avoid dynamic values.Use XScan filters to reduce noise when scanning large screens.

  • Enhance Robustness & Maintainability: Self-healing properties and alternative criteria. Synchronization steps (TBox Wait, Wait-On) to handle timing.Modular, reusable components and regular expressions for dynamic text.

  • Address ERP-Specific Challenges: Complex table structures with Tosca’s table steering. Dynamic IDs in RightAngle’s grids and pop-ups handled with anchors. Recovery scenarios for unexpected modals.

  • Example:

    Testing multiple user login scenarios can be managed with a single Repetition loop instead of creating 10 duplicate Testcases.

RightAngle Tosca Automation Best Practices-Best Practices for Tosca Workspace Creation

RightAngle projects are large and collaborative. We therefore:

  • Implement a logical folder structure (Modules, Testcases, Execution Lists) with meaningful names.

  • Use multi-user workspaces backed by SQL Server or Oracle; avoid SQLite common repos for production.

  • Regularly compact workspaces and archive old projects to keep sizes manageable (<5 GB).

  • Establish consistent naming conventions for all Tosca artefacts.

  • Create reusable Modules and keep them updated as the application evolves.

  • In multi-user setups, “Update All” frequently and use check-in/check-out to prevent conflicts.

  • For distributed execution, size your AOS workspaces based on parallel load to optimize performance.

  • File explorer tree of "qConnect - Sample Project" showing folders for Risk Management, Inventory, and Testcases. Blue and green icons.

RightAngle Tosca Automation Best Practices -Test Data Service (TDS) Best Practices

RightAngle Tosca Automation also bring discipline to test data:

  • Organize TDS modules in a clear folder hierarchy.

  • Use descriptive names for both modules and test data items.

  • Update TDS modules whenever the application changes.

  • Use TDS expressions to dynamically retrieve data at runtime rather than hardcoding.

  • Register, track, and manage test data lifecycle to maintain consistency.

  • Secure your TDS repository with access tokens and TCPs, and handle errors gracefully.

Our Framework in Action


  • Test Design: Tosca Commander as the central hub for requirements, modules, and test cases.

  • Execution Orchestration: qTest Launch triggers and manages Tosca Test Events.

  • Distributed Execution: Tosca DEX executes test cases across multiple environments in parallel.

  • Reporting & Analysis: qTest provides real-time results and defect management.

  • This layered architecture ensures a clear separation of concerns and a seamless data flow from test design to final analysis — accelerating migration from UFT, building regression suites, and handing over dashboards with confidence.

Business Impact

  • Faster migration and regression suite build-out (600+ test cases tracked in real time).

  • Lower cost per test due to reusable modules and distributed execution.

  • Improved auditability and compliance for trading workflows.

  • Predictable extension pricing after the initial engagement.


Elevon Global Tech combines deep ETRM knowledge with Tricentis expertise to deliver automation that scales. If you’re modernizing QA on RightAngle or Endur, we’d be glad to show you how our framework can shorten timelines and improve quality.
