“We’re very excited about investing in Cypress and believe the company is the future of test automation,” Esteban Reyes said.

Reyes added, “Legacy solutions are slow, suffer from flakiness and don’t provide rapid test result feedback loops. This limits the speed of product releases, increases costs of test suite maintenance and wastes valuable engineering time on debugging. Cypress solves all of those problems at scale and makes automating testing dead simple for developers,” he added.

“Cypress is rapidly becoming the go-to solution for test automation of dynamic web applications,” said Bob Goodman, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners.

Bob added, “The dramatic speed of organic user adoption fueled by developer love for Cypress and the company’s customer-focused roadmap drove our investment decision.”
