Zephyr

Rich Testing Desktops, Live Dashboards. All Real-Time.

Zephyr has developed innovative test management technologies to make it easy to access and view the data you need to make your critical decisions based on informed quality intelligence. Zephyr recognizes that quality is not just the responsibility of the QA or Test Department, but everyone who is involved in the application lifecycle: Product Managers, Business Analysts, Architects, Software Developers, QA Analysts, Testers, Partners, Vendors, IT and Technical Support personnel.

Globally distributed team members will find that testing assets are well organized and easy to access and use. Changes made to the various types of data - requirements, testcases, assignments, executions, defects, documents - are all pushed in real-time to whichever user is actually using or viewing that information. No refreshes needed! This information is also pushed in real-time to project dashboards allowing the larger project team and executives to get the latest status on a project without having to run reports, pushing the refresh button, or wondering how current their information is.

Teams may use the out of the box reports or customize their own with the intuitive custom reporting UI. Additionally, with trend reports, teams are able to review prior project data for trends, compare current project information and then both set management's expectations properly and plan appropriately for the next release. Dynamic trend reports make it possible to look at the data in many different ways. Also, web services APIs allow teams to extend the core Zephyr platform and integrate with it in many meaningful ways. Real-time two-way integration with popular defect tracking tools like JIRA and Bugzilla allow for best-of-breed functionality to be leveraged. The flexibility of being able to pick any automation tool(s) and integrate easily with Zephyr via ZBots and ZIPs ensures you are not restricted in your automation tool selection.

For younger organizations that are just beginning to define their QA and development processes, you can pick and choose which applications you want to incorporate into your testing process. For larger, enterprise organizations, rest assured that Zephyr provides means of managing your entire testing process.

Dashboards are rich, engaging and real-time. Well organized in hierarchical form, the interactivity and drill-down capabilities invite exploration. Tiny data pushes in real-time ensure the latest information is being displayed a la stock quote displays.
