GitLab

What is GitLab?

GitLab is a web-based DevOps lifecycle tool that provides a Git repository manager providing wiki, issue-tracking, and CI/CD pipeline features.

With Qase’s GitLab integration, you can:

  • Link Qase test cases to GitLab issues

  • Create a new issue in GitLab when you file a defect during a test run in Qase

  • Link Qase test runs to GitLab issues

  • Execute automated runs in GitLab from a Qase.
