What differentiates Zephyr from other similar products?

The ability to create test case suites, with individual test cases written within its modules, is what sets it apart from competing tools. You can examine the results of your tests after adding and running test cases.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Effortless to use and saves time too. Because it's possible to input the test cases using spreadsheet. The query view facilitates easy task completion by allowing fast searching of test cases and other work items. In addition to being able to link defects, test cases execute quickly and offer the ability to attach snapshots for each step or the entire test case.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One annoying feature is that it doesn't let you update the status of several test steps with less effort while running the test case. Updating the status of each stage individually is necessary.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Because of its usefulness in integrating testing into the Jira development process, Zefyr comes highly recommended from me. This document gives us a solid picture of where our software is at the moment and how to prioritize testing for future releases.

Test Planning Build test cycles and phases, define milestones to coordinate dependencies and releases, and then assign resources to execute the planned tests.

Test Data Management Secured management and access of test data.

Artifact Traceability Trace testing artifacts, such as test cases and scripts, forward to test runs and issues that need to be fixed, and backwards to the business process.

Test Script Editor Write and modify test scripts in a scripting languge (e.g. VBScript, JavaScript, Python) within a coding editor.

Test Case Generator Automatically generate test cases directly from requirements, the source code, recordings of user actions, and visual and graphical workflows and models.

Test Run Workflow Manager Script, configure, execute and manage automated testing workflows, including parallel testing. Automation is initiated internally by test management solution.

Regulatory Compliance Templated test cases for regulatory requirements and industry guidelines (e.g. GAMPS, SOX, HIPAA, OWASP, ISO)

Analytics and Reporting Aggregated visual reporting of testing progress, results and insights through real-time, dynamic dashboards with customizable reporting widgets.

Artifact Management Test artifacts can be readily created, reused, moved, and managed in a structured format, such as folder, heirarchical, and context-driven formats.

Test Coverage Analysis Pinpoint the sources of test failures and defects by granularly dissecting test runs, test cases and other testing artifacts and requirements.
