"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."
"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."
“Zephyr has allowed us to create a defect on any failing step, creating a link page and adding attachments through Capture for Jira.”
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
