Azure Test Plans vs. Zephyr Enterprise

It works well for express test case implementation with a short duration. You can define the tests for two weeks and run the activities documenting the software errors and fixes to control the effectiveness of DevOps. The graphic reports give the idea of the backlog phases advances and errors detected. It needs improvement if you have a large test project and need to design financial budgets and control over costs of the test plan.

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.

We're doing a full continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), continuous testing (CT), security, delivery, and monitoring. They have been lately adding features to the services on a regular basis. Every two weeks, they add functionality to Azure DevOps Services to match it with what Azure DevOps Server or on-prem would offer. So, we continue to get more robust functionality. My favorite right now is that they are starting to open up the API availability within Azure DevOps Services.
