start-server-and-test

Starts a dev server, waits for it to be ready, runs your test command, then shuts the server down.

Desktopfreeglobal

A command-line tool that starts a development server, waits for a URL to become available, runs the test command, and then shuts the server down. It addresses the common problem of CI and local test workflows leaving servers running or failing to wait for readiness. Intended for JavaScript/Node.js developers running end-to-end tests (for example Cypress or Playwright) and CI pipelines that need a server only during test runs.
