# GitLab QA - Integration tests for GitLab
This directory contains integration tests for GitLab.
It is part of the [GitLab QA project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-qa).
## What is it?
GitLab QA is an integration tests suite for GitLab.
These are black-box and entirely click-driven integration tests you can run
against any existing instance.
## How does it work?
1. When we release a new version of GitLab, we build a Docker images for it.
1. Along with GitLab Docker Images we also build and publish GitLab QA images.
1. GitLab QA project uses these images to execute integration tests.
## How can I use it?
You can use GitLab QA to exercise tests on any live instance! For example, the
following call would login to a local [GDK] instance and run all specs in
`qa/specs/features`:
```
bin/qa Test::Instance http://localhost:3000
```
### Running specific tests
You can also supply specific tests to run as another parameter. For example, to
test the EE license specs, you can run:
```
EE_LICENSE="<YOUR LICENSE KEY>" bin/qa Test::Instance http://localhost qa/ee
```
### Overriding the authenticated user
Unless told otherwise, the QA tests will run as the default `root` user seeded
by the GDK.
If you need to authenticate as a different user, you can provide the
`GITLAB_USERNAME` and `GITLAB_PASSWORD` environment variables:
```
GITLAB_USERNAME=jsmith GITLAB_PASSWORD=password bin/qa Test::Instance https://gitlab.example.com
```
All [supported environment variables are here](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-qa#supported-environment-variables).
