Welcome to the Zephyr Documentation

One Product. Two Editions. Everything You Need in One Place.

We’ve recently consolidated Zephyr Squad and Zephyr Scale into a single product family: Zephyr.

You’ll now find documentation for both editions - Zephyr Essential (formerly Zephyr Squad) and Zephyr (formerly Zephyr Scale) - right here.

What’s Changed?

  • Zephyr Essential’s test management feature set has expanded on what was previously offered in Zephyr Squad, now including cross-project capabilities,18 more out of the box reports, enhanced API offering, and more.

  • Zephyr includes all of the features that were previously available in Zephyr Scale.

  • Every edition shares a core set of test management features, but Zephyr offers test automation functionality not available in Zephyr Essential including no-code automation, record-and-playback, and smart test step suggestions.

This documentation will help you understand which features are available to you depending on your edition.

Throughout the documentation, we’ll indicate if a feature is Zephyr-only, meaning it isn’t in the Zephyr Essential.

Not Sure Which Edition You’re Using?

  • If you were previously using Zephyr Scale, you are now on Zephyr.

  • If you were previously using Zephyr Squad, you are now on Zephyr Essential.

  • If you are still not sure:

    • Go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps to check your edition.
