# GitLab-testing



![GitLab logo](images/logo_wordmark.svg)



Getting familiar with GitLab (including workflow and CI/CD).



GitLab is fairly opinionated with regard to workflow, this is my attempt to

check it out.



I am also interested in the CI/CD integrations and the various

__DevSecOps__ options (security scanning, dependency scanning, etc).

## Rationale



Compared to GitHub, [GitLab](http://gitlab.com/) offers a fuller set of services

(not all free) for integration testing and CI/CD.



#### As a code repository



At its base, GitLab is a code repository tool like GitHub or [BitBucket](http://bitbucket.org/).



#### CI/CD



At the free level, GitLab offers an integrated replacement for CI tooling such

as [Travis CI](http://travis-ci.org/) or [CircleCI](https://circleci.com/).



#### As an Open-Source repository



GitLab has a very tiny fraction of the projects that GitHub has.



GitLab has very rudimentary support for discovering new projects (GitHub really

shines in this area), but this will no doubt improve in the future.



#### Enterprise level



GitLab shines at the enterprise level, where it is very popular.



It can be run offline, making it an attactive alternative to solutions such

as [Jenkins](http://jenkins.io/) or [GoCD](http://www.gocd.org/).



#### Container Registry



GitLab offers a container registry, much like [Docker Hub](http://hub.docker.com/)

or [Google Container Registry](http://cloud.google.com/container-registry/).



## About GitLab



GitLab describes itself as:



> a single application for the entire software development lifecycle. From

> project planning and source code management to CI/CD, monitoring, and security.



From http://about.gitlab.com/



## Testing



So far, tested with a number of projects (mostly migrations from GitHub), listed below.



#### Go



* [Radix Trie](http://github.com/mramshaw/radix-trie)



[The `go` template uses an interesting approach to dependency management.]



* [GitLab](http://gitlab.com/mramshaw/gitlab)



[This was created in GitLab rather than migrated from GitHub.]



#### Java (Gradle)



* [AWS Lambda Sample - Java](http://github.com/mramshaw/aws-lambda-sample)



[Not really suitable for testing integration as it mainly works via manual testing.]



#### Java (Maven)



[Requires a `pom.xml` file.]



* [Alexa Skills Kit - Java](http://github.com/mramshaw/alexa-skills-kit-java)



[Somewhat old and dated - needing updating.]



#### Scala



[Requires a `build.sbt` file.]



* [Ad-Tech Scala/Akka exercise](http://github.com/mramshaw/ad-tech)

* [Spray Book Catalog](http://github.com/mramshaw/spray-book-catalog)



[The tests for the `Spray Book Catalog` didn't work correctly to start with.]



## Problems



The CI template for Scala does not seem to work correctly.



The attached file is meant to be an update.



## To Do



- [x] Graphic added

- [x] Add Table of Contents

- [x] Test CI/CD with GitLab

- [ ] Test CI/CD with a project that requires QA, Staging, Production

- [ ] More testing
