"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
“Zephyr has allowed us to create a defect on any failing step, creating a link page and adding attachments through Capture for Jira.”
“The deciding factors were price, deep JIRA integration, and the ability to run in Windows and Linux environments.”
"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."
“Zephyr Enterprise allows us to store and release older test cases and enables us to organize each and every release cycle. Many times, we would reuse the same test cases for different releases and Zephyr Enterprise makes the whole process more efficient.”
"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."
"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."
"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."
