22 Zephyr Testimonials

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“The deciding factors were price, deep JIRA integration, and the ability to run in Windows and Linux environments.”

"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."

"[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."

"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."
