Its README describes a server, CLI, SDKs, and a comparison model that captures behavior and performance data, then compares new runs against a previous trusted baseline. ### Project history The current monorepo combines the Touca server, web application, SDKs, examples, and deployment material. GitHub Releases show Touca Server releases in the 1.x and 2.x lines, with v1.5.0 published in 2022 and v2.0.0 listed by the repository as a later server release. ### Adoption history Touca's README presents two adoption paths: self-hosting Touca Server with Docker Compose through the CLI, or using Touca Cloud. Homebrew packaging makes the CLI/server bootstrap workflow available to macOS developers as `brew install touca` followed by `touca server install`. ### How it is used The package is used by writing workflow tests with Touca SDKs, capturing values and runtime for named test cases, and letting Touca compare those observations against a baseline instead of hard-coding every expected value. ### Why package nerds care In the package-manager niche, Touca matters as a testing workflow that installs like a CLI but reaches into a larger local or hosted service. Its Homebrew formula gives developers a quick path from package install to a self-hosted regression-testing server. ### Timeline - 2022: GitHub Releases API lists Touca Server v1.5.0. - 2023: Repository release list shows Touca Server v2.0.0. - Current README: Documents Homebrew install and CLI-driven self-hosting. ### Related projects - The README names SDKs for Python, C++, Java, and JavaScript, reflecting Touca's role as a multi-language regression-testing service rather than a Python-only tool. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** touca - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 3 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** yes - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [python@3.14](https://pkg.so/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [siege](https://pkg.so/brew/siege/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, regression-testing, testing. - [cargo-insta](https://pkg.so/brew/cargo-insta/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, snapshot-testing, testing. - [lcov](https://pkg.so/brew/lcov/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, testing. - [bats-core](https://pkg.so/brew/bats-core/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, testing. - [allure](https://pkg.so/brew/allure/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, testing. - [k6](https://pkg.so/brew/k6/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, testing. - [molten-vk](https://pkg.so/brew/molten-vk/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, testing. - [kcov](https://pkg.so/brew/kcov/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, testing. - [khaos](https://pkg.so/brew/khaos/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
