Future Testing Potential Solution Details

This page collects details about potential testing solutions to inform further discussions.

Repository mirrors

• Enable using private repositories and integrating with private on-premise testing systems.
• Mirror repositories need to comply with potential license restrictions, e.g., around repository access.

Self-hosted GitHub runners

• Enable integration with GitHub Actions CI services and avoid having to mirror repositories.
• Need to be configured carefully to ensure security (remote code execution!).
• May not be permitted on some partner platforms due to potential security issues.

GitLab CI

• GitLab can mirror GitHub repositories (this feature may not be available in all GitLab instances).
• Enables private GitLab runners on partner platforms for on-premise testing, to work around possible security and compliance issues.
