What is a Recovery Scenario?

• A. A feature that compresses test data for faster execution.
• B. A logging mechanism for recording failures after test completes.
• C. Recovery Scenarios are instructions that tell Tosca what to do to recover a TestCase that failed during final execution; successful recovery triggers a retry according to RetryLevel; if recovery fails Tosca moves to the next Recovery Scenario.
• D. Recovery Scenarios are used to test how many users can access the application.

Answer: (C)

Recovery Scenario defines how Tosca should respond when a TestCase fails during execution. It provides a sequence of recovery actions that Tosca will attempt to bring the system back to a good state. If the recovery actions succeed, Tosca will retry the TestCase according to the configured RetryLevel, giving the test another chance to pass. If the recovery cannot restore the state, Tosca moves to the next Recovery Scenario defined for that TestCase, allowing multiple alternative recovery paths before declaring the test failed. This mechanism helps handle transient failures and flaky tests by automatically retrying within controlled boundaries. The other options describe unrelated concepts: data compression for faster execution, a logging mechanism after failures, and load testing for concurrent users.
