This section applies specifically to the ZBot. The information below is generally used to ensure that system administrators can understand what a ZBot is and how to install the ZBot on certain environments such as Windows and Unix systems.

What is a ZBot? 

Zephyr Bots or ZBots are software agents that reside on target automation systems and form the link between the Zephyr Server and the automation tool being used on the target automation system. Based on user action in Test Execution (where the "E" button is clicked and an automation script(s) is kicked off), the Zephyr Server connects with the target ZBot and sends over execution information to execute an individual test script or multiple test scripts.

The information and links below provide an in-depth knowledge and step-by-step guide to assist your system administrator with installing ZBots. Please navigate through the links below that best describe your preferred install path and/or environment for your ZBot.
