# Run a test in Tosca Cloud

Footprints first, enable TIA, then configure and run a Tosca Cloud playlist.

Operational order for Tosca Cloud playlists with SeaLights:

1. Start footprints and keep them running
2. Enable TIA
3. Configure the playlist and run the test

Adapter setup (if needed): [Connect Tosca Cloud to SeaLights](broken://pages/KWz17kExfX3vexGN20xZ).

## 1. Start footprints collection

Start footprints for the pipeline before you enable TIA or run a playlist. Leave the task running throughout.

Do not run `footprints stop` until you finish collecting coverage. Reference: [Collect Footprints data for your Pipeline](broken://pages/BtrDV52TrGwLRpGXR4Nd).

## 2. Enable TIA

With footprints still collecting:

1. In SeaLights, enable **Test Optimization** for your application.
2. On the playlist **Configuration → Parameters**, set **SeaLightsOptimization** = **true**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Playlist parameter names are **case sensitive**.
{% endhint %}

## 3. Configure the playlist and run

Still with footprints collecting:

1. In Tosca Cloud **Integrations → SeaLights**, enter the SeaLights Agent Token ([SeaLights integration](https://documentation.tricentis.com/tricentis_cloud/en/content/admin_guide/sealights_integration.htm)).
2. On the playlist:

3. Run the playlist against your QAS system.
4. Wait for SeaLights to process Footprints data, then open the Coverage Report / **Test Optimization** view for your application.

{% hint style="info" %}
SeaLights needs time to process Footprints data before coverage updates appear.
