# Browser Performance Testing **[PREMIUM]**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/3507)
in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 10.3.
## Overview
If your application offers a web interface and you are using
[GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md), you can quickly determine the performance
impact of pending code changes.
GitLab uses [Sitespeed.io](https://www.sitespeed.io), a free and open source
tool for measuring the performance of web sites, and has built a simple
[Sitespeed plugin](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gl-performance)
which outputs the results in a file called `performance.json`. This plugin
outputs the performance score for each page that is analyzed.
The [Sitespeed.io performance score](http://examples.sitespeed.io/6.0/2017-11-23-23-43-35/help.html)
is a composite value based on best practices, and we will be expanding support
for [additional metrics](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/4370)
in a future release.
Going a step further, GitLab can show the Performance report right
in the merge request widget area:
## Use cases
For instance, consider the following workflow:
1. A member of the marketing team is attempting to track engagement by adding a new tool
1. With browser performance metrics, they see how their changes are impacting the usability of the page for end users
1. The metrics show that after their changes the performance score of the page has gone down
1. When looking at the detailed report, they see that the new Javascript library was included in `<head>` which affects loading page speed
1. They ask a front end developer to help them, who sets the library to load asynchronously
1. The frontend developer approves the merge request and authorizes its deployment to production
## How it works
First of all, you need to define a job in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file that generates the
[Performance report artifact](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#artifactsreportsperformance-premium).
For more information on how the Performance job should look like, check the
example on [Testing Browser Performance](../../../ci/examples/browser_performance.md).
GitLab then checks this report, compares key performance metrics for each page
between the source and target branches, and shows the information right on the merge request.
>**Note:**
If the Performance report doesn't have anything to compare to, no information
will be displayed in the merge request area. That is the case when you add the
Performance job in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` for the very first time.
Consecutive merge requests will have something to compare to and the Performance
report will be shown properly.

# Code Quality **[STARTER]**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/1984)
in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 9.3.
## Overview
If you are using [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md), you can analyze your
source code quality using GitLab Code Quality.
Code Quality uses [Code Climate Engines](https://codeclimate.com), which are
free and open source. Code Quality doesn’t require a Code Climate subscription.
Going a step further, GitLab can show the Code Quality report right
in the merge request widget area:
![Code Quality Widget](img/code_quality.gif)
## Use cases
For instance, consider the following workflow:
1. Your backend team member starts a new implementation for making certain feature in your app faster
1. With Code Quality reports, they analyze how their implementation is impacting the code quality
1. The metrics show that their code degrade the quality in 10 points
1. You ask a co-worker to help them with this modification
1. They both work on the changes until Code Quality report displays no degradations, only improvements
1. You approve the merge request and authorize its deployment to staging
1. Once verified, their changes are deployed to production
## How it works
First of all, you need to define a job in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file that generates the
[Code Quality report artifact](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#artifactsreportscodequality-starter).
The Code Quality report artifact is a subset of the
[Code Climate spec](https://github.com/codeclimate/spec/blob/master/SPEC.md#data-types).
It must be a JSON file containing an array of objects with the following properties:
| Name | Description |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `description` | A description of the code quality violation. |
| `fingerprint` | A unique fingerprint to identify the code quality violation. For example, an MD5 hash. |
| `location.path` | The relative path to the file containing the code quality violation. |
| `location.lines.begin` | The line on which the code quality violation occurred. |
Example:
```json
[
{
"description": "'unused' is assigned a value but never used.",
"fingerprint": "7815696ecbf1c96e6894b779456d330e",
"location": {
"path": "lib/index.js",
"lines": {
"begin": 42
}
}
}
]
```
NOTE: **Note:**
Although the Code Climate spec supports more properties, those are ignored by GitLab.
For more information on how the Code Quality job should look like, check the
example on [analyzing a project's code quality](../../../ci/examples/code_quality.md).
GitLab then checks this report, compares the metrics between the source and target
branches, and shows the information right on the merge request.
CAUTION: **Caution:**
If multiple jobs in a pipeline generate a code quality artifact, only the artifact from
the last created job (the job with the largest job ID) is used. To avoid confusion,
configure only one job to generate a code quality artifact.
NOTE: **Note:**
If the Code Quality report doesn't have anything to compare to, no information
will be displayed in the merge request area. That is the case when you add the
Code Quality job in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` for the very first time.
Consecutive merge requests will have something to compare to and the Code Quality
report will be shown properly.

# Merge request approvals **[STARTER]**
> Introduced in [GitLab Enterprise Edition 7.12](https://about.gitlab.com/2015/06/22/gitlab-7-12-released/#merge-request-approvers-ee-only).
NOTE: **Note:**
If you are running a self-managed instance, the new interface shown on
this page will not be available unless the feature flag
`approval_rules` is enabled, which can be done from the Rails console by
instance administrators.
Use these commands to start the Rails console:
```sh
# Omnibus GitLab
gitlab-rails console
# Installation from source
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bin/rails console RAILS_ENV=production
```
Then run `Feature.enable(:approval_rules)` to enable the feature flag.
The documentation for the older interface can be accessed
[here](/11.7/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.html).
## Overview
Merge request approvals enable enforced code review by requiring specified people to approve a merge request before it can be unblocked for merging.
## Use cases
1. Enforcing review of all code that gets merged into a repository.
2. Specifying code maintainers for an entire repository.
3. Specifying reviewers for a given proposed code change.
4. Specifying categories of reviewers, such as BE, FE, QA, DB, etc., for all proposed code changes.
## Editing approvals
To edit the merge request approvals:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General** and expand
**Merge request approvals**.
![Approvals starter project empty](img/approvals_starter_project_empty.png)
1. Click **Edit**.
1. Search for users or groups that will be [eligible to approve](#eligible-approvers)
merge requests and click the **Add** button to add them as approvers. Note: selecting
approvers is optional.
1. Set the minimum number of required approvals under the **No. approvals required**
box. Note: the minimum can be 0.
1. Click **Update approvers**.
![Approvals starter project edit](img/approvals_starter_project_edit.png)
The steps above are the minimum required to get approvals working in your
merge requests, but there are a couple more options available that might be
suitable to your workflow:
- Choose whether the default settings can be
[overridden per merge request](#overriding-the-merge-request-approvals-default-settings)
- Choose whether [approvals will be reset with new pushed commits](#resetting-approvals-on-push)
## Editing approvals **[PREMIUM]**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/1979) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.8.
CAUTION: **Caution:**
There was a [regression affecting this feature in 11.8](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/9648). We recommend upgrading _at least_ to version 11.8.2. to avoid any issues.
NOTE: **Note:**
In 11.8 this feature does not work in [private groups](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/10356).
For GitLab Premium, [multiple approver rules](#multiple-approval-rules-premium) can be configured. To configure the merge
request approval rules:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General** and expand **Merge request approvals**.
1. Click **Add approvers** to create a new approval rule.
1. Just like in [GitLab Starter](#editing-approvals), select the approval members and aprovals required.
1. Give the approval rule a name that describes the set of approvers selected.
1. Click **Add approvers** to submit the new rule.
![Approvals premium project edit](img/approvals_premium_project_edit.png)
## Multiple approval rules **[PREMIUM]**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/1979) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.8.
For GitLab Premium, a merge request's overall approval status is determined by a set of rules. Each rule contains:
- A set of [eligible approvers](#eligible-approvers).
- A minimum number of approvals required.
When an [eligible approver](#eligible-approvers) approves a merge request, it will reduce the number of approvals left for
all rules that the approver belongs to.
![Approvals premium merge request widget](img/approvals_premium_mr_widget.png)
If no approval rules are set, then the overall minimum number of approvals required can be configured. With no approval rules,
any [eligible approver](#eligible-approvers) may approve.
## Eligible approvers
The following can approve merge requests:
- Users being added as approvers at project or merge request level.
- [Code owners](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/code_owners.html) related to the merge request ([introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/7933) in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.5).
An individual user can be added as an approver for a project if they are a member of:
- The project.
- The project's immediate parent group.
- A group that has access to the project via a [share](../members/share_project_with_groups.md).
A group can also be added as an approver. [In the future](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/2048),
group approvers will be restricted.
If a user is added as an individual approver and is also part of a group approver,
then that user is just counted once. The merge request author, as well as users who have committed
to the merge request, do not count as eligible approvers,
if [**Prevent author approval**](#allowing-merge-request-authors-to-approve-their-own-merge-requests) (enabled by default)
and [**Prevent committers approval**](#prevent-approval-of-merge-requests-by-their-committers) (disabled by default)
are enabled on the project settings.
### Implicit approvers
If the number of required approvals is greater than the number of approvers,
other users will become implicit approvers to fill the gap.
Those implicit approvers include members of the given project with Developer role or higher.
## Adding or removing an approval
If approvals are activated for the given project, when a user visits an open
merge request, depending on their [eligibility](#eligible-approvers), one of
the following is possible:
- **They are not an eligible approver**: They cannot do anything with respect
to approving this merge request.
- **They have not approved this merge request**:
- If the required number of approvals has _not_ been yet met, they can approve
it by clicking the displayed **Approve** button.
![Approve](img/approve.png)
- If the required number of approvals has already been met, they can still
approve it by clicking the displayed **Approve additionally** button.
![Add approval](img/approve_additionally.png)
- **They have already approved this merge request**: They can remove their approval.
![Remove approval](img/remove_approval.png)
NOTE: **Note:**
The merge request author is only allowed to approve their own merge request
if [**Prevent author approval**](#allowing-merge-request-authors-to-approve-their-own-merge-requests) is disabled on the project settings.
For a given merge request, if the approval restrictions have been satisfied,
the merge request is unblocked and can be merged.
Note, that meeting the required number of approvals is a necessary, but not
sufficient condition for unblocking a merge request from being merged. There
are other conditions that may block it, such as merge conflicts,
[pending discussions](../../discussions/index.md#only-allow-merge-requests-to-be-merged-if-all-discussions-are-resolved)
or a [failed CI/CD pipeline](merge_when_pipeline_succeeds.md).
## Code Owners approvals **[PREMIUM]**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/4418) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.9.
It is possible to require at least one approval for each entry in the
[`CODEOWNERS` file](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/code_owners.html) that matches a file changed in
the merge request. To enable this feature:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General** and expand
**Merge request approvals**.
1. Tick the **Require approval from code owners** checkbox
checkbox.
1. Click **Save changes**.
When this feature is enabled, all merge requests will need approval
from one code owner per matched rule before it can be merged.
## Overriding the merge request approvals default settings
> Introduced in GitLab Enterprise Edition 9.4.
NOTE: **Note:**
If you are using GitLab Premium, things are a little different with [multiple approval rules](#multiple-approval-rules-premium).
Read the differences [in GitLab Premium when overriding merge request approvals](#overriding-merge-request-approvals-default-settings-premium).
If approvals are [set at the project level](#editing-approvals), the
default configuration (number of required approvals and approvers) can be
overridden for each merge request in that project.
One possible scenario would be to to assign a group of approvers at the project
level and change them later when creating or editing the merge request.
First, you have to enable this option in the project's settings:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General** and expand
**Merge request approvals**
1. Tick the "Can override approvers and approvals required per merge request"
checkbox
![Approvals can override](img/approvals_can_override.png)
1. Click **Save changes**
NOTE: **Note:**
If approver overriding is enabled
and the project level approvers are changed after a merge request is created,
the merge request retains the previous approvers.
However, the approvers can be changed by [editing the merge request](#overriding-the-merge-request-approvals-default-settings).
---
The default approval settings can now be overridden when creating a
[merge request](index.md) or by editing it after it's been created:
1. Click **Edit** under the **Approvers** section.
1. Search for users or groups that will be [eligible to approve](#eligible-approvers)
merge requests and click the **Add** button to add them as approvers or
remove existing approvers that were set in the project's settings.
1. If you want to change the number of required approvals, set a new number
in the **No. approvals required** box.
1. Click **Update approvers**.
There are however some restrictions:
- The amount of required approvals, if changed, must be greater than the default
set at the project level. This ensures that you're not forced to adjust settings
when someone is unavailable for approval, yet the process is still enforced.
NOTE: **Note:**
If you are contributing to a forked project, things are a little different.
Read what happens when the
[source and target branches are not the same](#merge-requests-with-different-source-branch-and-target-branch-projects).
## Overriding merge request approvals default settings **[PREMIUM]**
In GitLab Premium, when the approval rules are [set at the project level](#editing-approvals-premium), and
**Can override approvers and approvals required per merge request** is checked, there are a few more
restrictions (compared to [GitLab Starter](#overriding-the-merge-request-approvals-default-settings)):
- Approval rules can be added to an MR with no restriction.
- For project sourced approval rules, editing and removing approvers is not allowed.
- The approvals required of all approval rules is configurable, but if a rule is backed by a project rule, then it is restricted
to the minimum approvals required set in the project's corresponding rule.
## Resetting approvals on push
If approvals are [set at the project level](#editing-approvals),
you can choose whether all approvals on a merge request are removed when
new commits are pushed to the source branch of the merge request:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General** and expand
**Merge request approvals**
1. Tick the "Remove all approvals in a merge request when new commits are pushed to its source branch"
checkbox
![Approvals remove on push](img/approvals_remove_on_push.png)
1. Click **Save changes**
NOTE: **Note:**
Approvals do not get reset when [rebasing a merge request](fast_forward_merge.md)
from the UI.
However, approvals will be reset if the target branch is changed.
If you want approvals to persist, independent of changes to the merge request,
turn this setting to off by unchecking the box and saving the changes.
## Allowing merge request authors to approve their own merge requests
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3349) in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.3.
You can allow merge request authors to self-approve merge requests by
enabling it [at the project level](#editing-approvals). Authors
also need to be included in the approvers list in order to be able to
approve their merge request.
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General** and expand **Merge request approvals**.
1. Uncheck the **Prevent approval of merge requests by merge request author** checkbox, which is enabled by default.
1. Click **Save changes**.
## Prevent approval of merge requests by their committers
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/10441) in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.10.
You can prevent users that have committed to a merge request from approving it by
enabling [**Prevent approval of merge requests by their committers**](#prevent-approval-of-merge-requests-by-their-committers).
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General** and expand **Merge request approvals**.
1. Tick the checkbox **Prevent approval of merge requests by their committers**.
1. Click **Save changes**.
## Merge requests with different source branch and target branch projects
If the merge request source branch and target branch belong to different
projects (which happens in merge requests in forked projects), everything is
with respect to the target branch's project (typically the original project).
In particular, since the merge request in this case is part of the target
branch's project, the relevant settings are the target project's. The source
branch's project settings are not applicable. Even if you start the merge
request from the source branch's project UI, pay attention to the created merge
request itself. It belongs to the target branch's project.
## Approver suggestions
Approvers are suggested for merge requests based on the previous authors of the files affected by the merge request.
## Filtering merge requests by approvers
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/9468) in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.9.
To filter merge requests by an individual approver, you can type (or select from
the dropdown) `approver` and select the user.
