Analyze failed job logs
The highlight of this release is artificial intelligence (AI)-powered root cause analysis for failed pipeline jobs, supported by the AI ​​assistant GitLab Duo. This functionality analyzes failed job logs, identifies the cause of failure, and suggests solutions. Also new is AI-powered vulnerability resolution, which provides specific code suggestions to fix vulnerabilities.
GitLab 17.3 makes it possible to implement multiple compliance frameworks in a single project, making it easier to comply with various regulatory requirements. In addition, pods can be deleted directly from the GitLab interface, which has a positive effect on the management of Kubernetes clusters.
Becoming a Game Developer: Study, Work & SalaryTwo new metrics
With GitLab 17.3, two new metrics have been introduced for AI Impact Analytics: the acceptance rate of code suggestions and the utilization of GitLab Duo seats. The acceptance rate measures how often GitLab Duo developers adopt proposed code changes, while GitLab Duo seat utilization shows the percentage of licensed seats actually used. These metrics are intended to help organizations better understand and plan the effectiveness and use of the AI ​​assistant GitLab Duo.
These metrics are complemented by small, simple charts embedded in the data tables (sparklines) that convert numerical values ​​into graphical representations, making it easier to identify trends and compare multiple metrics.
GitLab 17.3 integrates sparklines into AI Impact Analytics. These are small charts embedded in tables that visually represent numerical values.
