Cycle Testing Kit

The Cycle Testing Kit is the core toolkit for developing and running Cycle tests on a local machine. It is analogous to a software development kit (SDK), but for Cycle tests: it provides the runtime, reference material, and reporting tools you need to author, execute, and analyze automated tests.

The Cycle Testing Kit is installed on your machine as part of the Cycle desktop app. You do not install it separately. When you install Cycle, you get the full kit.

The Cycle Testing Kit includes:

• Engine: CycleScript language components that run Cycle tests, including the language server, parser, and interpreter
• CLI: Command-line interface that drives Cycle project and execution tasks
• Step Guide: Searchable documentation for all available CycleScript steps
• Executing Tests: Run Feature Files and playlists from the desktop app or the Cycle CLI
• Classic Reporting: Generate and share durable test result reports
• Report Dashboard: Review test results interactively in real time
• MCP server: Enables AI coding agents to work with Cycle tests; covered in more detail under Cycle Intelligence
