Comparison between Zephyr & Xray

[Deepa Akinapally]

@Harsh Dubey Deleting Test Details should never be the expected behavior without indicating the user of consequences.

But thanks for the response.

@Jayesh Wankhade ,Is the Zephyr and Xray comparison table updated as per latest updates?

[Jayesh Wankhade]

@Vijithra Sivanesan It's been updated. If you find any new information or missing information, please let me know. Thanks!

@Jayesh Wankhade 

When I google it ,most of the Zephyr features mentioned in the table is now "Yes"

Example : Rest API,Automated Time Tracking for test execution,Jenkins and Bamboo Add on

So please confirm 

[Damian Teixeira]

Still not seeing a link to the updated comparison. @Jayesh Wankhade  can you please provide the updated table and has performance been added as a row in the table?

[jameswilson]

@Jayesh Wankhade are these feature-level comparisons up to date as of 2023? We are evaluating both.  

[J Conners]

NOTE: There is a difference between Zephyr Squad ( a single project with limitations ) and Zephyr Scale (cross-project functionality). Here is a feature comparison table for Zephyr Squad v Zephyr Scale.

And here is a link to a recent Webinar on Zephyr Squad  (which points out some differences):

I use Xray, but have worked with teams to implement Zephyr Scale, and several other Atlassian Add-on testing tools.

Thanks for posting this comparison, after deep digging, I found that  Xray is way better than Zephyr in many ways including Test Planning, "Test Design", "Test Execution" and "Control and monitoring" also for the pricing I do believe that Xray is cheap comparing to Zephyr.

@Jayesh Wankhade  I think this comparison is between Xray and Zephyr squad. Do you happen to have a comparison between Xray and Zephyr Scale? Thanks a lot!

Hi Jayesh

Would you say this Zephyr & Xray comparison is current as at today (25/07/2024)?

@All

-Are we still leaning in favour of Xray?  
-Have there been any extra features added?
-Have the Xray performance issues been resolved

Hi everyone, 

I don't believe this Zephyr & XRay comparison is accurate anymore. When you consider Zephyr, I recommend looking at Zephyr Scale - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213259/zephyr-scale-test-management-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

Addressing the items mentioned as No in the table:

• Zephyr Scale has versioning as well as the ability to restore previous versions of tests
• Zephyr Scale enables a hierarchical folder structure of your test cases
• Zephyr Scale has native support for Gherkin and BDD
• Zephyr Scale enables you to translate your manual test into an automated test right from with the tool. There is a built-in no-code test automation capability within Zephyr Scale. Xray does NOT have this capability. 
• Zephyr Scale has REST APIs
• Zephyr Scale has Jenkins and Bamboo add-on
• Zephyr Scale has 19 out-of-the-box gadgets and 26 out-of-the-box reports

I hope this provides a more accurate overview for folks to make an informed decision. 

[Jayesh Wankhade]

Thanks @Prashant Mohan  for bringing this. As I have written this more than 2 years back so there might be changes in it. 

[Prashant Mohan]

No problem Jayesh. Could you please update the original table with this new information above?

[HBOA]

HI All, 

between these two is anything changed from 2022-present . is there any updated wiki or article i can view please and also please let me know if any other app which is better than these two presently?

thank you

[Prashant Mohan]

@HBOA Here is the Zephyr app listing - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213259/zephyr-scale-test-management-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

The table in the original post is outdated. Most of the items labelled as No in Zephyr actually do exist. 

• Zephyr has versioning as well as the ability to restore previous versions of tests
• Zephyr enables a hierarchical folder structure of your test cases
• Zephyr has native support for Gherkin and BDD
• Zephyr enables you to translate your manual test into an automated test right from with the tool. There is a built-in no-code test automation capability within Zephyr. Xray does not have this capability. 
• Zephyr Scale has REST APIs
• Zephyr Scale has Jenkins and Bamboo add-on
• Zephyr Scale has 19 out-of-the-box gadgets and 26 out-of-the-box reports
• Zephyr supports data residency
