Have you ever wondered about the story behind the word ‘Zephyr’? Or how does one actually test a test management tool? Recently, we held “Inside Zephyr,” a special online community event to celebrate the Zephyr family of products. It was a sneak-peak behind the curtain, and the team of extraordinary people that make Zephyr tools so great – from original founders to developers, testers, and support agents.

BDQ is a Zephyr Expert Partner and Atlassian Solution Partner based in London, England. Our core focus is ensuring that the Atlassian technology stack and Zephyr agile test management products deliver value to our customers through digital transformation. We provide consultancy, training, and workshops on implementing Zephyr Squad (previously known as Zephyr for Jira). Our goal is to empower teams to test effectively in agile scrum.

At SmartBear we have a vision for improving the lives of developers, and adding quality into the software development supply chain – no matter where in DevOps maturity an organization sits. We’ve seen a lot of success in this effort, and no small part of it involves the way we manage our acquisitions and invest in their development teams. This is true for software solutions like Zephyr, TestComplete, and ReadyAPI, as well as our innovators behind OSS projects, like Cucumber.
