Zephyr for JIRA Cloud is now open for integration

ZAPI Cloud exposes Zephyr for JIRA Cloud data via REST APIs which allows you to build your own integration with Zephyr for JIRA Cloud. This guide is intended for developers and testers.
 

What is ZAPI Cloud?

ZAPI (or Zephyr API) Cloud is an Add-on to Zephyr for JIRA Cloud that allows access to its testing data including the ability to view and upload information programatically.


Using ZAPI Cloud's capabilities, Zephyr for JIRA Cloud users can:

  • Integrate with test automation tools
  • Integrate with continuous integration tools
  • Create extensive custom reports for testing
  • Integrate with business intelligence tools
  • Use the testing data for other purposes


A typical example of the usage of ZAPI Cloud is to create a test in a separate tool/system and add it to Zephyr for JIRA Cloud or create an test execution cycle and update the status of a test execution run after its has been executed in an automation tool.
 

The APIs provide the following capabilities:

  • Get information about users, projects, releases, tests, execution cycles
  • Create new tests and test execution cycles
  • Update tests, test execution status
  • Add attachments to existing execution cycles
  • Run ZQL and retrieve search results
