About Zephyr
Zephyr is a set of test management and automation products that run inside Jira. It is made by SmartBear and covers test planning, execution and reporting.
What it does
Teams create test cases, link them to user stories and requirements, track defects and monitor progress without leaving Jira. Zephyr also provides no-code automation with record and playback, and it works with BDD and CI/CD tools of your choice. Traceability reports show how requirements are covered across test cases, cycles and results.

Who it's for
