Managing Hybrid Methodologies made easy by Zephyr

Waterfall | V-Model | Agile | Hybrid

Zephyr as applied to a Hybrid

Typically, companies are arriving at hybrids of Waterfall, V-Model or Agile software development processes that suit their environment, processes and people best:

These could be distinct where one team or product line follows a particular process and a second team follows another
Teams are transitioning from one model to another
Partners and customers demand a competing model or a variation of an existing model

For its part, the Testing team has to be flexible enough to handle all of these scenarios without having to make major changes to their repositories, tools and reporting mechanisms.

How Zephyr can be leveraged in this mode

Zephyr, as a single Test Management System, allows these different models to co-exist peacefully by allowing contextual separation of projects whose internal releases or iterations might follow different software lifecycles while continuing to provide the right visibility into each at the Department level.

Major Advantages of Zephyr in a Hybrid mode:

1. Ability to switch between various modes in the same system
2. Ability to adapt to new processes and needs of a project cycle
3. Live and relevant metrics in a mixed mode environment
4. Reusability of test assets between different modes and lifecycles
