Facilitates integration of test scenarios while needing modernization of components

Gaurav Chandel - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosted productivity with automated pipelines and seamless collaboration
There are some challenges with repository file management as GitLab may struggle to manage larger files. Improvements could be made regarding size management and file partitioning. Also, the UI has remained the same for a couple of years and could benefit from an update with AI features and better customization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"GitLab's source control is excellent."
"The solution's service delivery model is fantastic."
"The stability of GitLab is impressive."
"They incorporate new features every September, and they have introduced their own code editor and AI features."
"GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team."
"GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos."
"Of all available products, it was the easiest to use and easy to install."
"This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers."
 

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"As GitLab is not perfect, what needs improvement in the solution is the Wiki feature of the groups or the repertories because currently, it's not searchable by default. You'll need an indexing service such as Elasticsearch to make it searchable, and that requires too much work, so for me, it's the main feature that should be improved in GitLab. In the next version of the solution, from the top of my head, the documentation could be improved. Besides the Wiki, it would be good if there's documentation that would be automatically generated based on the code repository. In other words, there should be some tutorials from GitLab for developers in the next release."
"GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"You need to have a good knowledge of the product in order to use it."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
"I've noticed an area for improvement in GitLab, particularly needing to go through many steps to push the code to the repository. Resolving that issue would make the product better. My team quickly fixed it by writing a small script, then double-clicking or enabling the script to take care of the issue. However, that quick fix was from my team and not the GitLab team, so in the next release, if an automatic deployment feature would be available in GitLab, then that would be good because, in Visual Studio, you can do that with just one click of a button."
"The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics."

"GitLab is highly priced for smaller teams, but it's okay if considering a user base of thousands."

"We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."
"The solution is free."
"This product is not very expensive but the price can be better."
"Regarding pricing, I would rate GitLab as moderately priced, maybe around a seven or eight out of ten. It could be more flexible for clients but generally offers good value."
