### Testing code in merge requests
#### Using the `package-and-qa` job
It is possible to run end-to-end tests for a merge request, eventually being run in
a pipeline in the [`gitlab-qa`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-qa/) project,
by triggering the `package-and-qa` manual action in the `test` stage (which should
be present in a merge request widget, unless the merge request comes from a fork).

available for forks).
**This runs end-to-end tests against a custom Omnibus package built from your
merge request's changes.**
Manual action that starts end-to-end tests is also available in merge requests
in [Omnibus GitLab][omnibus-gitlab].

#### How do I write tests?
#### Using the `review-qa-all` jobs
On every pipeline during the `test` stage, the `review-qa-smoke` job is
automatically started: it runs the QA smoke suite against the
[Review App][review-apps].
You can also manually start the `review-qa-all`: it runs the full QA suite
against the [Review App][review-apps].
**This runs end-to-end tests against a Review App based on [the official GitLab
Helm chart][helm-chart], itself deployed with custom
[Cloud Native components][cng] built from your merge request's changes.**
See [Review Apps][review-apps] for more details about Review Apps.

## How do I write tests?
In order to write new tests, you first need to learn more about GitLab QA
architecture. See the [documentation about it][gitlab-qa-architecture].
