"One of the best things about Zephyr for JIRA is the test metrics. Our Zephyr dashboard gives us a detailed snapshot of where we are with regards to QA. We're thinking of installing two flat screen televisions on one of the walls here in our office that will display the JIRA dashboard as well as the Zephyr dashboard."
"Before Zephyr for JIRA, testing was done ad hoc using a combination of JIRA, Confluence and spreadsheets. It was very manual, time consuming and we would find bugs months after the release. We needed a more rigid and structured approach, but not something with process overkill."
"The approach and reporting of the testing from Zephyr was extremely well received by all on the project."
"I would say [Zephyr for JIRA] makes [collaboration with QA] easy, since we can have that linkage between test cases, and the JIRA issues, anybody that’s working on them, they can easily go back to the JIRA issue and look and see what developer worked on it, and ask them questions and try to get more information out of them if they need information."
"After just a few weeks of using Zephyr for JIRA Cloud we began experiencing the benefits Zephyr brings to the testing process inside JIRA, such as: linking test cases to JIRA in Kanban swim lanes, executing tests and tracking progress, measuring quality, and exporting results. As Zephyr for JIRA Cloud’s user interface is very intuitive, the adoption process has taken less than two weeks. In addition, Zepyhr has enhanced knowledge transfer and communication between ZetaSafe staff giving new QA staff and other stakeholders detailed visibility of the testing process."
"From a basic usability standpoint, Zephyr was a big step up for us. Zephyr integrated very well with JIRA and had many helpful features in the way test cases could be planned and executed."
“The deciding factors were price, deep JIRA integration, and the ability to run in Windows and Linux environments.”
“Zephyr has allowed us to create a defect on any failing step, creating a link page and adding attachments through Capture for Jira.”
"We found that it was the most mature product, as opposed to the others which we were evaluating, There are fields which you can configure yourself for Zephyr, and they can actually make things easier and more traceable as compared to Excel or other tools."
"Before Zephyr, we used a mix of Google Spreadsheets and Excel. It was time consuming to compile and review data, and we had no real-time metrics on our product quality. We tried several solutions and had no luck until test driving Zephyr Enterprise Edition."
"We have thousands of test cases that need to be run for every release, Zephyr makes it easy to separate and assign by build iterations and priority. Zephyr saves us a significant amount of time since we can reuse testing assets. We also loved the support; the team was extremely knowledgeable and responsive."
"Overall, [Zephyr Enterprise Edition] seems to give me the ability to track my group’s testing and record our test cases, map them to requirements and vice-versa, so we can make sure we have every test case, every requirement covered by at least one test case."
"That saves so much time, just being able to have everything in one place, [Zephyr for JIRA] makes it a lot easier for us to know when things are ready, to find things, and to overall just organize things a lot better than we previously ever could have."
"There's high demand (for IT services) from the business-side. We try to deliver what they need, but we also need to get them more involved. Thanks to Zephyr, we were able to do that. They have access to the tool and they use it themselves. They actually loaded the status of the test cases. They did the testing themselves."
"Almost everyone was using something a little different. Spreadsheets were very common, Word documents were very common, and we did not have a formal tool that anyone was using. There are some projects that have no documentation."
