Cypress

E2E test runner and cloud

Free tier + paidCode review, testing & securitycypress.io

What it is

Browser test runner with an interactive time-travel debugger that shows DOM state at every command. The app itself is MIT licensed and free to run locally or in CI; the paid Cloud adds recorded runs, parallelisation, flake detection and analytics. Qualifying open-source projects get a dedicated free OSS plan.

Why it earns a slot

The visual runner shows exactly which step of an AI-written flow broke and what the page looked like at that moment, without you reconstructing it from a stack trace.

Know before you commit

Cloud billing counts individual test results, not runs. A 200-test suite across 20 pull requests a day exhausts the 500-result free tier in well under a week.
