This section applies specifically to Zephyr Enterprise's ZBot and ZIP. The information below is generally used to ensure the user learn more about ZBots and ZIP used by Zephyr Enterprise.

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.

What is a ZIP? 

A Zephyr Interceptor Program or ZIP is an extension to the execution utility of a ZBot allowing for the default execution flow of automation scripts to be intercepted in order to perform customized actions. ZBots comes packaged with a default ZIP which can be intercepted with a partial or full functionality customized. Currently, ZIPs written in JAVA are supported.
