Create Live Reports in Confluence
Use macros to expand the capabilities of your Confluence pages by adding extra functionality and dynamic content. Zephyr Scale Reporting for Confluence gives you real-time insights into your test management initiative with up to 60 out-of-the-box testing macros. It’s a free app for Confluence, but it requires Zephyr Scale to pull data and render the reports/charts.
These macros allow you to create insightful testing reports to track coverage, progress, and quality across Jira projects, epics, and user stories. Then, you can share the information with your colleagues for more accessible data analysis and collaboration.
