Summary

Cypress is a front-end testing tool for web applications, with an open-source Cypress App and a cloud-based Cypress Cloud service. It supports end-to-end and component testing. The App launches and controls real browsers, including Chrome-family browsers and Firefox; WebKit is listed as experimental. Debugging tools include time-travel snapshots, readable errors, stack traces, automatic waiting, and network stubbing. Cypress Cloud stores recorded CI test runs and provides debugging, analytics, and orchestration for teams. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Jira. Its MCP works with AI coding assistants including Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. The free Starter plan includes 10 users, 500 test results per month, 100 prompt executions per month, and 30-day access to paid features. Team costs 67.00 USD per month, billed annually at $799. Cypress says Cloud test content is stored in the United States, and content in public projects is publicly accessible. Cypress Cloud maintains a SOC 2 Type 2 report and encrypts testing content in transit with TLS 1.2 or greater and at rest with AES-256 or greater.
