Unveiled at Atlassian Team ‘24 in Las Vegas,
Zephyr adds GenAI-powered test automation for non-technical users
to automate tests quickly without scripting
SmartBear, a leading provider of software development and
visibility solutions, has added no-code test automation powered by
GenAI to its Zephyr Scale, the solution that delivers scalable,
performant test management inside Jira. By using GenAI, any tester,
including those without technical skills, can quickly convert
manual tests into automated tests without coding, directly in
Zephyr Scale, one of the fastest-growing apps on the Atlassian
Marketplace with over 27K installs. The test automation
functionality is being unveiled at Atlassian Team, Tuesday, April
30 – Thursday, May 2, 2024, in Las Vegas, SmartBear booth #19. A
beta version is available this week to Zephyr Scale customers.
“With our strategic acquisition of advanced AI-powered provider
Reflect just three months ago, we are pioneering a groundbreaking
approach in test automation,” said Dan Faulkner, Chief Product
Officer at SmartBear. “SmartBear is now leading the way in test
management innovation with Zephyr Scale, the first and only
Jira-native test management platform to offer this functionality
directly within the platform. This groundbreaking approach to test
automation removes barriers such as lack of time, technical
expertise, and resources, allowing for complete traceability in the
testing process. Understanding the needs of our customers and their
customers is at the heart of our AI advancements. Through this lens
we’re able to ensure our AI-powered solutions continue to add
unparalleled value to our customers’ workflows.”
Cost-effective and easy to set up and use, Zephyr Scale saves
40+ hours per month on average per user. It offers robust reporting
capabilities, allowing testers to generate customizable reports and
metrics to track testing progress, identify trends, and make
data-driven decisions.
“We see in our research that 18% of organizations use GenAI in
production application workloads,” said Paul Nashawaty, Practice
Lead - Application Development and Modernization, The Futurum
Group. “By extending the robust test management functionalities of
Zephyr Scale in Jira with intuitive, codeless GenAI-powered
automation capabilities, teams can achieve a seamless, synergistic
test workflow that enhances test quality and accelerates software
release cycles. This combination democratizes testing, making it
not only accessible and manageable but also significantly boosts
efficiency and coverage, ensuring higher software quality and
faster go-to-market times and will allow for a great adoption of AI
in production workloads.”
SmartBear is realigning 20+ products into intuitive solution
