This course is ideal for test teams and managers who want to be trained on all the automation features of Zephyr for Jira and get advice on best practice.
Attendees will learn how Zephyr for Jira can be used to report on test automation, and gain hands-on experience working with the various APIs and plugins Zephyr makes available. We discuss how Zephyr structures its reporting results and how the automation framework injects data into those reports, with examples for each API and plugin. Attendees go through exercises using a CI/CD tool (typically Jenkins or Bamboo) to create build jobs and post results back into Zephyr. We also cover A.T.O.M and ZBot task execution and configuration, and recap how REST and JSON work.

Who should attend
Designed for Zephyr for Jira testers and managers who want to integrate Zephyr for Jira with their test automation frameworks. This course is not intended to teach attendees how to automate testing.
Prerequisites
- Ideally the Jira Essentials course or equivalent Jira experience
- Basic QA and testing experience is assumed
- The Zephyr Basics course, or a good working knowledge of Zephyr for Jira
- Let us know your preferred build tool in advance (exercises for Bamboo or Jenkins); the example uses a Java/Maven/JUnit project, but the principles are transferable
