Testing with the
Squash-GitLab platform
The power of Squash & GitLab integration
Synchronize GitLab objects in the requirements repository
Map GitLab Epics*, Milestones, Iterations and Issues to Squash test requirements - Speeds up tests definition by using already synchronised test requirements
Ensure full traceability of GitLab Issues - Associate test cases to synchronized requirements
* Available in futures versions of Squash and GitLab
Design your functional tests
Describe your manual and automated tests - For a homogeneous test repository
Generate Cucumber and Robot Framework scripts for BDD test cases - Enables guaranteeing the match of functional automated tests to their specifications
Plan test execution
Tailor manual and automated test plans using wizards - Easy identification of test cases to cover a scope of Issues, Iterations or Milestones
Integrate automated test execution in the CI/CD pipeline
Define and customize a quality gate for the CI/CD pipeline - Complement your safety analyses and enable you to focus on critical, relevant tests and results, regardless of flaky tests
Run functional tests
Access test results, reports and quality-gate in GitLab - Secure go-to production by allowing stakeholders to have full picture of the situation
Report in the merge requests the functional quality gate outcome - Prevents the merge of functionally app-breaking code increments
Declaration of anomalies right from Squash as GitLab Issues - Allows QA to create templated Issues automatically pre-filled with test data to facilitate communication with the dev team
Link found anomalies to the original Issues* - The release management has a full picture for the go/no go of the feature
* Available in futures versions of Squash and GitLab
