To get started with creating and running an automated test, follow the step by step tutorial on how to run automated test.
If you want to run more tests than what Zephyr offers by default, you can upgrade to Zephyr Automate. Zephyr Automate expands the built-in automation features available for you in Zephyr. By adding on Zephyr 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 Automate unlocks for you.
To view differences between what Zephyr and Zephyr Automate offers, click here.
Zephyr Automate is an add-on for Zephyr. So to function it requires an active Zephyr license. Zephyr Automate will not work separately from Zephyr.
To install Zephyr Automate go to our listing page on Atlassian Marketplace.
After installing Zephyr Automate Jira admins will see a new app in the App Management view of Jira and can manage subscriptions as for other Jira apps.
After the installation Zephyr UI will get updated to illustrate that Zephyr Automate is installed.

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 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.
