What is ZBot?

Zephyr Bots or ZBots are software agents that reside on target automation systems and link the Zephyr Server and the automation tool being used on the target automation system. ZBots help you automate your test cases: when ZBot is running, you can execute Zephyr Vortex jobs that will add automated test cases to the specified folder and create test cycles on the Test Planning page. When a user runs an automated test case on the Test Execution page, the Zephyr Server connects to the target ZBot, sends execution information to it to run one or multiple test scripts, and then retrieves test results to parse and send them to Zephyr:

...

You can start ZBot right after downloading, there is no need to configure it in any way. It is preconfigured to use your Zephyr URL, username and password. You , however, you can change these values in the conf\zbot.properties file, if needed.

...

A job is a task with a number of parameters. You use it to automate your test cases. You can create two types of jobs: Automation and Folder Watcher.

  • When you run an Automation job, it creates a test case in Zephyr, then schedules and executes the test caseAn Automation job allows you to trigger an execution directly from Zephyr, and once the automation is done, it posts the results to Zephyr.
  • A Folder Watcher job waits for results to appear in the specified results folder, and if any report file is generated, it posts the results to Zephyr.

...

3. Now when you have a job, you can run it by clicking E in the Execute Job column, or Execute in the top-right corner of the screen.

For more information on Vortex, see Zephyr Vortex.

Note

Before running a job, you need to start ZBot. You can execute your jobs only when ZBot is running.
