The Test Player is where actual testing occurs and is tracked within Zephyr Scale. Regardless of how many test cases you want to execute, the Test Player is where the fun happens.

Update and Track Your Progress

In the Test Player, you can update the status and start the test-execution timer.

To improve the accuracy of your planning, the Test Player tracks testing estimates and actual testing time.

Time summaries appear at both the test-cycle level as well as at the test-case level.
