"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."
"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 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."
“The deciding factors were price, deep JIRA integration, and the ability to run in Windows and Linux environments.”
"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."
"No other test management platform can match the speed we need to setup, allocate and report projects which is essential to our on-demand test service."
"The approach and reporting of the testing from Zephyr was extremely well received by all on the project."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
“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."
