Pastry review
A focused web tool for identifying, organizing, and tracking flaky tests.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pastry is a web-based flaky-test management product for software teams managing large test suites. It identifies flaky tests, organizes them by failure rate and frequency, and surfaces trends in test outcomes and failure types. Its workflow uses standard, flaky, and quarantine stages, giving teams a defined way to classify unstable tests and monitor whether attempted fixes improve stability. Branch and Git SHA test counts add context for teams reviewing results across code changes.
Pricing is based on test volume rather than users, repositories, or collaborators. The Pastry plan costs $150 per 5,000 tests monthly and includes unlimited users, unlimited commits, unlimited repositories, unlimited collaborators, and 3 months of data retention. Volumes above 50,000 tests require contacting sales. This structure may suit teams that want broad access for a stable test population, but the usage-based model makes test volume the main budgeting variable, and there is no free plan for smaller teams to evaluate the product without a paid commitment.
Pastry’s main strength is focused flake analysis rather than a broad developer-platform suite. Teams can review failure-rate and frequency patterns, assess whether outcomes are improving or worsening, identify trends in failure types, and connect workflows through API access and webhooks. That combination fits organizations seeking direct visibility into test stability and a lightweight quarantine process. Teams that need named integrations, framework-specific coverage, or capabilities beyond the stated flake-management workflow should consider a broader alternative. Pastry is a sensible choice for large suites with straightforward trend needs and less suitable for teams seeking a wider ecosystem.
