# 14.2.0: End a test run early with Cypress.stop()

ReleasedReleased on March 11, 2025

`Cypress.stop()` lets you halt the Cypress App on the current machine while tests are still running. Use it to stop a run as soon as a test fails, or on any other condition you define, instead of waiting out the rest of the suite.
