The business needs are growing steadily and there are multiple different contributors working on the same product over time. Keeping silos between Development, Security, and Operations is not an option anymore and to avoid any code quality and security deviation, it is crucial to run tests at the early stage of your Software Development. Through a live demo, we will show how GitLab, the AI-powered DevSecOps platform, allows your organization to deliver more secure and compliant applications without impacting your current Software Development Lifecycle.
