Applies to Zephyr Scale Server/Data Center 9.1, last modified on September 20, 2023

With Zephyr Scale, small and agile teams can manage testing in a lightweight and straightforward fashion. You can create and link test cases or acceptance tests to user stories/bugs and then fire up single test execution directly from the issue screen in Jira or the kanban board. Using Zephyr Scale, you can manage your testing efforts without hassle and focus only on managing the test coverage and the test execution.

Procedure

In the Traceability section of the user story/bug, you can link existing test cases or create new ones as acceptance tests.
