90% of Paessler's QA is self served - the QA engineer’s tasks have been slashed from about an hour a day to 30 seconds, a 120x speed increase

Every branch gets tested, it’s built into the pipeline. As soon as you commit your code, the whole process kicks off to get it tested. The amount of effort involved in actually getting to the newest version that you’re supposed to be testing, whether you’re a developer or a QA engineer, is minimized immensely.

Improve Productivity

Ensure your development teams are always able to be productive. Streamline login, avoid downtime, minimize outages and reduce latency between distributed teams.
Understand team contribution and identify opportunities
Feedback in context and in the right Merge Request

Features	Value
Productivity Analytics	Analyze graphs and reports to understand team, project, and group productivity for uncovering patterns and best practices to improve overall productivity.
