GitLab looks to transform app testing
GitLab is providing "ephemeral app environments" to enhance application testing on its code repository platform with its Reviews Apps capability being unveiled Tuesday.
Review Apps lets developers create temporary applications to see how existing code works and to review merge requests before shipping into production. This way, code does not need to pulled down locally. An extension of GitLab's CI capabilities, the feature is being added in GitLab 8.14.
With Review Apps, developers can test and demo new features, while product managers can see what a merge request would look like. They are created dynamically when a new branch is pushed up to GitLab and are automatically deleted when the branch is.
