Scale every facet of Cypress testing, and push your code with confidence every time. [Sign up ➜](https://cloud.cypress.io/signup) [See a demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFLShoCM8pA) [Explore an example project](https://cloud.cypress.io/projects/7s5okt) ## Benefits [Cypress Cloud](https://on.cypress.io/about-cypress-cloud?utm_medium=cloud-benefits&utm_source=docs.cypress.io&utm_term=&utm_content=Cypress+Cloud) is our enterprise-ready companion to the open-source Cypress app, allowing you to: * [View and debug past test results](#View-and-debug-past-test-results) from your CI environment. * [Analyze and diagnose](#Analyze-and-diagnose-test-health) test health. * [Reduce test time and save money](#Reduce-test-time--CI-costs) by smartly orchestrating future runs across multiple machines. * [Integrate with your favorite developer tools](#Integrate-with-your-favorite-tools) to help streamline your workflows. * [View CI runs and test health](#Cypress-app-integration) directly from the Cypress app. * [Configure Cypress Cloud how you want](#Flexible-enterprise-configuration-and-single-sign-on) and enable enterprise single sign on. * Use [AI at Cypress](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/cypress-ai-features.md) for test authoring ([Studio AI](/llm/markdown/app/guides/cypress-studio.md), [cy.prompt()](/llm/markdown/api/commands/prompt.md)), test analysis (Test Intent and Error Summaries), and UI Coverage test generation. * Add premium solutions like [UI Coverage](https://on.cypress.io/ui-coverage-trial?utm_medium=cloud-benefits&utm_source=docs.cypress.io&utm_term=&utm_content=UI+Coverage) and [Cypress Accessibility](http://on.cypress.io/accessibility-trial?utm_medium=cloud-benefits&utm_source=docs.cypress.io&utm_term=&utm_content=Cypress+Accessibility) to get new insights into test and application quality with no code, setup, or impact on your test runs. ### View and debug past test results Each test run is stored in Cypress Cloud, where you can see past results and the current state of your app on the [Latest Runs](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/recorded-runs.md) page. Replay the test as it executed during the recorded run with full debug capability using [Test Replay](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/test-replay.md). Or view each test's [command logs, screenshots, video replays, stack traces, and CI logs](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/recorded-runs.md#Test-detail-sidebar). Quickly identifying a test failure in CI is just a click away. ### Analyze and diagnose test health View each [run's overview](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/recorded-runs.md#Overview-tab) to see and compare past runs and analyze trends over time. You can quickly analyze changes in your setup that might introduce problematic trends as well as identify unreliable tests with [Flaky Test Management](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/flaky-test-management.md). The [analytics](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/analytics/overview.md) capabilities show test metrics over time, helping determine the overall health of your test suite. Quickly see which tests are problematic, getting slower, or growing over time. Monitor your test health at both the project and organization level. Retrieve your test data through Cypress Cloud APIs. ### Reduce test time & CI costs [Smart Orchestration](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/smart-orchestration/overview.md) enables you to run tests across multiple machines simultaneously in your CI environment while Cypress Cloud coordinates runners and [balances test loads](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/smart-orchestration/load-balancing.md#Balance-strategy) - no setup required! You can prioritize recently failed specs with [Spec Prioritization](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/smart-orchestration/spec-prioritization.md) to surface problems earlier, and cancel whole test runs on failure with [Auto Cancellation](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/smart-orchestration/run-cancellation.md) to save on resource usage. You can also [cancel in-progress runs](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/recorded-runs.md#Run-cancellation) manually from Cypress Cloud if you need to. Cypress Cloud's [Spec Prioritization](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/smart-orchestration/spec-prioritization.md) lets you prioritize recently failed specs so they run faster on their next run. The [Auto Cancellation](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/smart-orchestration/run-cancellation.md) feature will cancel a whole test run on failure, saving time and resource usage. You can also [cancel in-progress runs](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/recorded-runs.md#Run-cancellation) manually from Cypress Cloud if you need to. ### Integrate with your favorite tools #### Source Control providers Cypress Cloud integrates with [GitHub](/llm/markdown/cloud/integrations/github.md), [GitLab](/llm/markdown/cloud/integrations/gitlab.md), and [Bitbucket](/llm/markdown/cloud/integrations/bitbucket.md) to provide rock-solid reliability by keeping failing code out of your main branch. Use status checks to block commits from being merged until your Cypress tests are green, and surface test results directly in your PRs with pull request comments that include test run statistics, specific failure details, and deep links to results in Cypress Cloud for fast debugging. [Business and Enterprise plans](https://www.cypress.io/pricing/) include secure integration with self-managed [GitHub](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.5/admin/overview/about-github-enterprise-server) and [GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/subscriptions/self_managed/) instances too. #### Team Communication Get notified on test progress directly in your team's [Slack](/llm/markdown/cloud/integrations/slack.md) or [Microsoft Teams](/llm/markdown/cloud/integrations/teams.md) channels. #### Issue Management Keep the whole team up-to-date with [Jira](/llm/markdown/cloud/integrations/jira.md) integration. You can [create bidirectionally linked Jira tickets](/llm/markdown/cloud/integrations/jira.md#Create-a-Jira-issue-from-a-test) directly from specific test failures. #### AI Coding Assistants Give your AI coding assistant and AI agents a direct window into your application’s health and stability by connecting to [Cypress Cloud MCP](/llm/markdown/cloud/integrations/cloud-mcp.md) . Eliminating the context gap between CI and your editor to you remove the manual triage that makes testing a bottleneck. Instead of manually providing context, let AI independently query run results, analyze stack traces, and audit flaky tests to verify and diagnose issues directly within your development loop. Works with Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and more. ### Cypress app integration The [Cypress app](/llm/markdown/cloud/features/recorded-runs.md#Cypress-App) integrates directly with Cypress Cloud to provide developers with the latest test results without having to switch tools. This provides notifications about new failing tests in CI, so you can then re-run them immediately in your local environment to debug. ### Flexible enterprise configuration and single sign on You can use our flexible administrative functions to configure Cypress Cloud however you want, grouping [projects](/llm/markdown/cloud/account-management/projects.md) into multiple [organizations](/llm/markdown/cloud/account-management/organizations.md) if you have a lot, checking [usage](/llm/markdown/cloud/account-management/billing-and-usage.md), and administering [users and permissions](/llm/markdown/cloud/account-management/users.md#User-roles). We also provide [SSO integration](/llm/markdown/cloud/account-management/enterprise-sso.md) for teams on [Business or Enterprise plans](https://www.cypress.io/pricing/). ## Example project The Cypress [Real World App (RWA)](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-realworld-app) leverages [Cypress Cloud in CI](https://cloud.cypress.io/projects/7s5okt) to test over 300 test cases in parallel across 25 machines, multiple browsers, multiple device sizes and multiple operating systems. **Have a question you don't see answered here?** [We have answered some common questions about Cypress Cloud in our FAQ](/llm/markdown/cloud/faq.md).
