Cloud vs. CLI
Compare Momentic’s Cloud and CLI offerings to find the best fit for your team
Momentic offers two primary ways to build and run tests: Cloud and CLI. Each has its own strengths and is suited for different use cases.
Comparison
Cloud is ideal for teams that want to get started quickly without worrying about infrastructure. It allows you to build and run tests directly in your browser, making it easy to monitor public-facing applications.
If you want to shift left and run tests as part of your development process, the CLI is the best choice. It allows you to run tests locally, store them in version control, and integrate them into your CI/CD pipelines seamlessly.
