Hello Everyone, Stopping by your slack channel to understand few practices around Automation E2E(FrontEnd or Backend) 1)how the Automation of applications done on a day2day basis .How long does it typically take to complete regression 2)what techstack is being used . 3)Do you follow BDD or TDD 4)How is the test data maintained and how often is it refreshed 5)What reporting mechanism is used and how long does it take to analyse the reports

Hi @nathdipp002 Here are answers to your questions: 1)how the Automation of applications done on a day2day basis .How long does it typically take to complete regression The automation is handled through the CI/CD part of our platform. The content and the behavior is defined by the user so can’t provide an estimate of how long regression testing will take (this depends on the content/structure of your tests and your pipeline definition). We do provide a feature that is called AutoDevOps (more details here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/) which contains a pipeline that you can use out of the box or you can use just parts of it. 2)what techstack is being used . The tech stack that is being used is either this one described here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#features if you’re using AutoDevOps or any 3rd party tool/technology that you bring into your pipelines. 3)Do you follow BDD or TDD The methodology that is used is chosen and implemented by the users, we don’t impose one. With GitLab you can do both 4)How is the test data maintained and how often is it refreshed We’re working on storing and creating graphs out of historical test data to show in GitLab Dashboards but this data can also be stored on the tool you’re using itself. Data is being refreshed on each execution of the pipeline. 5)What reporting mechanism is used and how long does it take to analyse the reports We have our own internal mechanism that gathers the data from the jobs and creates the reports. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

@vbudica just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tc0YYBxqi4 Product is amazing .Is there someone i can reach out via email (if any queries),while doing out a demo project on the trial version . Also to check how easy it would be onboard Gitlab into Morgan considering the LCD and Infra setup .

Vlad Budica11:05:23

@nathdipp002 thank you for your kind words. I’ll do some research to see who is the account manager for Morgan Stanley and let you know.
