# End-to-End Testing
## What is End-to-End testing?
End-to-End testing is a strategy used to check whether your application works
as expected across entire software stack and architecture, including
integration of all microservices and components that are supposed to work
together.
## How do we test GitLab?
We use [Omnibus GitLab][omnibus-gitlab] to build GitLab packages and then we
test these packages using [GitLab QA][gitlab-qa] project, which is entirely
black-box, click-driven testing framework.
### Testing nightly builds
We run scheduled pipeline each night to test nightly builds created by Omnibus.
You can find these nightly pipelines at [GitLab QA pipelines page][gitlab-qa-pipelines].
### Testing code in merge requests
It is also possible to trigger packages build and [GitLab QA pipeline][gitlab-qa-pipelines]
using a manual action that should be present in the merge request widget on
your merge request. Look for `package-qa` manual action.
Below you can read more about how to use it and how does it work.
## How does it work?
We are using _multi-project pipelines_ to run end-to-end tests.
## How do I test my code?
## How do I contribute?
