GitLab CI Integration: Automated Testing and Deployment
summary
Shows how GitLab CI uses a trigger keyword to stitch application and test repos into upstream/downstream pipelines, passing CI variables so tests run for each merge instead of nightly. Implements a downstream test project targeted at main, uses variable checks to allow selective jobs, and pushes Slack alerts with job ID, branch, and report links. The multi-project setup reduces blame window from “many commits” to a single change and is demonstrated working end-to-end.
