"We have different departments practicing different development methodologies and Zephyr works seamlessly for each team. From a QA perspective it allows us to standardize the testing data no matter how the code was developed, providing transparency on status and quality up and down the chain of command."
“Zephyr has allowed us to create a defect on any failing step, creating a link page and adding attachments through Capture for Jira.”
"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."
"The integration is great and makes everything simple. The link between testcases and JIRA issues gives the flexibility for testers and developers to swap information easily, was not well-supported by HP Quality Center. We picked what we thought was the most mature product of all those we had evaluated. Zephyr offered the most features and functionality that were needed for our project team. It is very easy to use and straightforward."
"[B]ecause we were already using JIRA, the learning curve was extremely low, All we had to is show some of the unique things about executing a test or looking a test cycles. If we had implemented a standalone test management solution that might have been weeks of developing some documentation and process around how we do this and the other thing. Within a week we were up and running and productive with Zephyr and JIRA easily."
"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."
“The deciding factors were price, deep JIRA integration, and the ability to run in Windows and Linux environments.”
"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."
"It has a shorter learning curve, which is nice when you bring in new people who haven't worked with it before, It is easier to introduce them to the concepts because it shares a lot of the base terminology and framework with JIRA, so if they know how to use JIRA, they inherently know how to use a good bit of Zephyr for JIRA. It's not quite such a training effort."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Zephyr’s rich feature set, licensing model and ease of use was an easy decision for our team. By combining Zephyr Enterprise Edition with our own product and service offerings, we can provide a comprehensive deployment solution to help our customers get up and running quickly. Our end goal is happy customers and Zephyr helps us make them successful."
"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."
