Getting Started with Zephyr for JIRA
Zephyr is a test management solution that can be integrated with JIRA. By integrating Zephyr, JIRA projects may include Test issue types.
A Test issue type has a structure that includes test steps (divided into Test Step, Test Data, and Expected Result) and a history of test executions. A test can be executed on its own or added to a Test Cycle. Tests' records of executions show the overall result of each execution and link to the detailed report of each execution.
Writing a test:
After creating a Test issue, add the details of the test by entering a Test Step, Test Data (if applicable), and the Expected Result. After creating a step, a step creation field will appear below it to create a new step.
Executing a test:
When executing a test, one must fill in results manually. Each test step shows the step, data, and expected result as entered in the test issue. The tester selects a status (Pass, Fail, WIP, Blocked, Pass on Retest, or Unexecuted), and may also add text comments, file attachments, and Defects (new issues related to a test step).
Zephyr has an API that supports additional features, including test automation, but this is not currently n use.
