  1. Well suited for companies having several applications which need rigorous continuous testing cycles due to periodic upgrades to products/features.
  2. Ideally suited for use cases where there is a need to run sanity and regression suites very frequently.
  3. It is very helpful to have a traceability matrix across Stories/tasks and easy to link all the test cases to be covered to stories.
  4. Variety of reports for Quality Dashboard.

Jira and Confluence are widely implemented in organizations of various industries so incorporating Zephyr Scale is a very seamless method of adding scalable testing management. Testing visibility and end to end traceability is possible and integrates in Jira. Developers and engineers are able to take advantage of the built-in reports and statistics and even automate testing. The value is greatly reduced for organizations that do not already implement Jira and Confluence as the native integrated compatibility is much of the value

Zephyr scale is easier to work with and more seamlessly used because it is natively integrated with Jira and Confluence. TestRail cannot provide the same scalable experience and is rather dated and limited in capability. Developers rather use tools that are compatible with each other, and Zephyr scale offers that
