Zephyr Enterprise Pros and Cons

Zephyr Enterprise, the robust enterprise test management platform that manages all aspects of the testing lifecycle, is provided as an on-premise installation as well as a SaaS-based installation. Zephyr fits and enhances any test methodology that you might be using as a part of your software development lifecycle: Waterfall, Agile, V-Model or a hybrid.

By being organized into logical hierarchy starting from a department, to projects – to releases or iterations, coupled with applications to cover different parts of the testing lifecycle, Zephyr allows a rigid process flow to be flexible enough to accommodate changes.

There were some bugs found after major releases, but these were always turned around and resolved very quickly after reporting them. If we found areas that required new feature requests or enhancements, these are generally delivered in a 4 or 8 week cycle Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good business solution for web based analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much integration with block chain logistics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using Zephyr in my last 7 years, I love the tool and help me a lot to organize test plans. Much easier to track the Test cycle execution and observe any deviation.

Also is very helpful to have the TRazability matrix cross Story, easy to see all the test cases to be covered and Also the Dashboard reports are so helpfully.

Zephyr for Jira Cloud has plenty of room for improvements but it is ok so far. One of the things very hard for us, especially when you have plenty of project in Jira cross the Core, you are not able to shared test cases cross Projects, Also the test cycle, not allow you to organize test cases per Order, so. manually we need to name the test cases by numbers.

Integration with other software applications is easy with lot of API's and plug-ins support. Easy to create test plans. Easy to execute test cases and monitor daily test case executions as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not that user friendly tool. Not much flexible for agile process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy, intuitive and constructive way to create test cases with all required details, execution cycles and test summaries. The way it allows linking bugs to execution and traceability reports is really amazing. Also the test execution gadget that you can add to your JIRA dashboard is very simple and yet quite helpful and informative. The support team/resources is incredibly helpful and responsive and fairly good to help you solve/answer any issues/questions you might have. The product is overall being rapidly and efficiently developed. I highly recommend for almost teams of all sizes. I would love to see more features and development for the reporting capabilities of Zephyr. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting is not as powerful as it should be given the overall powefullnes of the product itself. Traceability report is super thing but it's not easy to extract and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The seamless integration with JIRA makes it a valuable tool for our team. Test results are very clear and easy to read. It's very easy to modify tests for new functionality and track previous executions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was using an older version initially and couldn't copy and paste steps between different tests, but that has already been addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to see test coverage in one place and easily generate new suites of tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, I think the software is well made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think having a framework set for how to go about writing and executing test cases is the best feature.

The way the steps can.be distributed, executed and reported makes it a lot simpler and straightforward for the developer to check, for a QA to track and for a manager to review.

Great Asset I must say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times I believe the execution cycles take a longer time may be reduce a few details Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it has the ability to copy test cycles. That saves a lot of time. Also, I like the visibility of where users are in their processes. Probably the biggest thing that I like is that is links to Jira and I don't have to work on 2 different platforms and do double the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Going from a spreadsheet format to Zephyr, I love that it does a lot of stuff but it was a really big hurdle to overcome all of the new processes without a bunch of material on how to get going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great integration into Jira: One common tool for issue management and test management. Provides good overview about current test activities and status of tests. In case of defects issue test executions can be directly linked to issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- It would be very helpful, if order of tests could be fixed within a cycle and this order should be part of cycle clone operations. This would help to group and optimise test executiuons.

- Sometimes Cycle -> Folder -> Testcase is not sufficient. It would be very helpful if Folders itself could contain Folders to structure test cycles in a better way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
