Summary

Cypress Cloud has launched a new feature called Branch Review, designed to enhance the efficiency of pull request (PR) reviews by offering a detailed before-and-after view of changes in a test suite. This feature, integrated with GitHub, allows developers and QA engineers to swiftly identify and understand the impact of code changes on their test suites, addressing issues related to newly failed, flaky, and pending tests compared to the main branch. Previously, this process required cumbersome manual comparisons, but Branch Review simplifies it by providing a comprehensive view of test results, including interactive replays for debugging. The feature currently supports GitHub integration with plans to expand to other version control systems like GitLab and BitBucket in the future.
