TestKube
Testkube is a Kubernetes-native platform that orchestrates existing test tools inside your clusters. We assess it under Tool for cluster-local runs decoupled from CI runners.

Summary
What it is: Control plane plus in-cluster agents. Agents run your existing suites (k6, Playwright, Cypress, and more) as Kubernetes workloads. Results sync to one dashboard.
When to use: Tests should run where the app runs, across many clusters, without rewriting suites for each CI system. You want triggers from CI, GitOps, schedules, or Kubernetes events.
When to skip: You lack Kubernetes, or a single CI pipeline already covers test execution and result visibility well enough.
Trade-offs: Agents are open source and stay in your infra. The full control plane (dashboard, RBAC, SSO) is Pro/Enterprise. Testkube orchestrates tests; it does not author them for you (AI authoring is still emerging).
