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 your GitLab issues to Qase test cases, test runs, defects
Create a new issue in GitLab when you file a defect during a test run in Qase and their statuses are automatically synchronized, in both directions. [Qase <> GitLab]
Trigger your GitLab automated pipeline directly from Qase.
