Testing specific metrics can be viewed via a variety of gadgets that are found in the Gadget Gallery. Since Zephyr for JIRA uses a standard JIRA issue-type, many out-of-the-box gadgets can be used. The following testing-specific gadgets are available:
- Test Distribution
- Test Testcase Execution
- Top Defects Impacting Testing
- Test Execution Burndown
- Test Execution Details
- Test Execution Assignment
- Test Execution Distribution
- Test Execution Progress
Open a dashboard, click on "Add Gadget" and search for "Zephyr" or click on "Other" in the list on the left to find all the testing related gadgets. Once added to a dashboard, they can be customized to provide detailed test metrics for any project and version.
...
A pre-created dashboard with these metrics is available by default and can be accessed from the "Test Metrics" menu item of the top-level "Tests" menu. An administration configuration can make that menu item point to any specific pre-created dashboard.

This is a very useful metric that provides critical and impactful information about which defects are currently holding up the maximum number of tests from passing. This gives project teams a clear indication of which issues they should be focusing their energies on in order to move testing forward. This can also provide a view into how resolving defects have impacted testing.
...
This gadget can be customized to show 5/10/15 top defects for any project-version combination as well as picking one or more statuses of the defect.

This metric tracks the progress of a test cycle, providing valuable information regarding how many tests are still unexecuted, what the current rate of execution is (= number of tests executed / number of days since the test cycle commenced) and extrapolating to when the projected date of completion would be based on the current rate.
...
The metric can be customized via the “Edit” button.
