If you want to run more tests than what Zephyr Scale offers by default, you can upgrade to Zephyr Scale Automate. Zephyr Scale Automate expands the built-in automation features available for you in Zephyr Scale. By adding on Zephyr Scale Automate, you can expand your automation efforts even further with 4-6x more no-code test runs and other next-level automation features. See the full list of features that the installation of Zephyr Scale Automate unlocks for you.

Testing Environments

Effective testing is critical to ensuring the reliability and performance of your applications. Below is an overview of types of environments, along with links to detailed documentation that you use to set up and manage these environments effectively.

  • Testing in Public Environments: The automation feature in Zephyr Scale works by default in public environments.

  • Testing in Private/Local Environments:

    • Private environments are secure and controlled for testing apps, isolated from the public internet. This protects sensitive data and configurations. See the documentation on private environments for more details.

    • Local environments let developers test apps on their machines. This setup is ideal for development and debugging, offering quick feedback and ease of use. See the documentation on local environments for more information.
