What is a Test Configuration Parameter (TCP) used for?

• A. A runtime log setting
• B. A test data source
• C. A parameter you can set for Tosca objects to configure tests further
• D. A script for test execution

Answer: (C)

Test Configuration Parameters are used to parameterize how Tosca tests run by providing values that Tosca objects can read at execution time. They live within a Test Configuration and let you attach configurable values to modules, test steps, or objects so the same test can behave differently without altering the test steps themselves. For example, you can define a parameter like BaseURL or Timeout and reference it in your test objects as ${BaseURL} or ${Timeout}. Then you can run the same test against different environments (dev, test, prod) simply by changing the parameter values in the Test Configuration. This is why the option describing a parameter you can set for Tosca objects to configure tests further is the best fit. The other choices describe different concepts—log settings, test data sources, or scripts—which are not what a Test Configuration Parameter represents.
