Comparison between Zephyr and Xray with regards to DevOps capabilities.
I need to know if Zephyr has this capability of having better CI/CD capability and Searching. Need your suggestions to decide if we go for Xray Or Zephyr.
- Both do almost similar kind of work with some advantages and disadvantages of them with respect to cost, automation, reporting, etc.
- With regards to Automation Testing: As enterprises become bigger with tons of features, automated testing becomes essential. If you need to execute a hundred even thousands test for your weekly releases, an automation script integration could help a lot, and Xray has a native cucumber automation build in. Which means testing can take hours instead of days (nor weeks) with no need for another add-on. Xray also has Pre-conditions worth noting since it allows for specific criteria to be added into testing(e.g: a user has to be the member that has X tier).
Zephyr does not do automated testing as an add-in like Xray and you might need a way around such as “ZBot” for Zephyr (this is an additional add-on which you must purchase.) and this might be challenging for a new member who is not used to the tools.
- Looking at feature level comparison, it looks Xray has upper hand considering automation and CI/CD capability and Searching tests capability.
What are your opinion?
