While Zephyr allows you to build out your test plans and create your manual test cases, it now also allows you to mark the ones that have been automated. This lets you keep track of what % of your suite and which areas are automated. You can continue to build out your automation scripts in any commercial or open-source automation tool(s) of your choice like QTP, SilkTest, Selenium, Junit, Webload, TestComplete etc. or homegrown automation harnesses/frameworks.
Test cases (both Manual and Automated) can now be scheduled and assigned for execution in the same way. |
Run your manual tests or kickoff your automation scripts from within Zephyr. Using ZBot technology (software bots on remote targets), Zephyr can kickoff your automation scripts on those machines and bring the results back in automatically. Its almost magical.
Track the execution status across both your manual and automation scripts in one place. This automatically updates all relevant metrics and the Project Dashboards so comprehensive quality statements can be made across all of your testing - both manual and automation.
Extend the capabilities of your automation framework by writing customized ZIPs (Zephyr Interceptor Programs) that work with ZBots and let you do all sorts of interesting things. |
