The Test Manager user is the Administrator of Zephyr (unless other Roles have been added to the system that have access to the Administration application) and in charge of:

  • Configuring and customizing Zephyr for your needs
  • Deciding what to call this system
  • Deciding which Defect Tracking and Mail Systems will connect to it
  • Running some basic administration tasks on the server

 

 
Administrator
 
Enter the Admin User Name and the Password. This will be used to login as the Test Manager role. Also enter the First Name, Last Name, Email and Location of this role as this is information that will show up in the Resource Management tool.
 
Company Info
 
Use these fields to co-brand your copy of Zephyr. The Company/Department Name and System Name information shows up in the top-left corner of every Desktop and Dashboard.
 
Access URL

Desktop: http://localhost/
Dashboard: http://localhost/
 
All other users need to enter the right URLs to access the Desktops and Dashboards. These URLs are typically:
 
Desktop: http://<system_name_or_IP_address>
 
Dashboard: http://<system_name_or_IP_address>
 
 
Mail Server
 
Zephyr uses this mail server information to send emails to your resources when the following events take place:

 
Please contact your IT Administrator for this information: Name or IP address of the mail server, the Port on which it accepts incoming email (default is 25), whether it needs SMTP or SSL Authentication (and if so, the User Name and Password needed for it).
