Zephyr Test Management

Zephyr is an extension for JIRA. It is a native application that exists in JIRA and brings quality test management capabilities to any JIRA project. When Zephyr is used with JIRA, the test can be created, viewed in any JIRA project, and executed immediately or as part of a testing cycle that may be linked to other issues. The detailed testing metrics can be tracked via customizable Zephyr gadgets. Zephyr is designed to streamline and enhance your test management workflow. Whether you're looking for custom dashboards, detailed reports or in depth analytics data Zephyr is there to support you. 

All teams work differently. It’s important to find a test management solution that best fits your needs. Whether you’re Agile or Waterfall, or somewhere in-between, Zephyr test management solutions support development natively on Jira as well as securely on-premises.

Zephyr is divided based on three capability. An organization can choose between three world-class solutions and find what’s right for your size and complexity:

Quick start your testing in Jira

Small, Agile Teams

• Test design
• Test executions
• Automation and integration with BDD and CI tools
• Single-project reporting

Advance your testing in Jira

Mid-Size, Growing Teams

• Reusability-at-scale features
• Lightweight test planning
• Automation and integration with BDD and CI tools
• Cross-project reporting

Achieve continuous testing agility in a standalone solution

Mid-Large, Complex Teams

• Bi-directional Jira integration
• End-to-end traceability
• Enterprise-grade test planning and auditing
• Flexible support for third-party automation frameworks
• Legacy ALM migration path and transition plan
• Premium enterprise support

Zephyr provides multiple deployment options:

• Zephyr for JIRA Cloud
• Zephyr for JIRA Server
• Zephyr for JIRA Data Center

Features of Zephyr for JIRA

• Native to JIRA allowing users to test right inside JIRA
• Testing is integrated into the project cycles and it enables you to track software quality and make empowered go/no-go decisions.
• Create, Plan, and Execute Tests
• Create, view, and modify test steps and attachments for individual tests. Build test execution cycles, execute the tests, and link defects to specific tests.
• Track Quality Metrics
• Zephyr provides easy-to-use dashboard which provides testing metrics on the testing activities throughout every project.

Continuous Testing

Zephyr is designed to give you the capability to test at scale as well as operate within the CI/CD pipeline. Integration to all the popular CI/CD tools gives you the capability to trigger execution runs and collate everything that's happening as part of your test process. No other tool gives you the ability to control your capability to test continuously with such a rich feature set to help you manage the whole process.

Example:

Zephyr gives you a slick user experience coupled with a feature set that provides everything you could ever need. More than this we strive to provide the integration too the full tool set used within today's agile software development projects. That might be Jenkins, Bamboo or Team City on the CI/CD side of things. On the test automation tool front we have you well covered with support for most of the tools on the market. Needless to say we deliver close integration with the likes of TestComplete and ReadyAPI. Everything you need to connect the dots between your agile tool set.
