## The entire DevOps Lifecycle
|

|

GitLab is the first single application for software development, security,
|
||
and operations that enables [Concurrent DevOps](https://about.gitlab.com/concurrent-devops/),
|
||
making the software lifecycle faster and radically improving the speed of business.
|
||
|
||
GitLab provides solutions for [each of the stages of the DevOps lifecycle](https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/):
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
GitLab is like a top-of-the-line kitchen for making software. As the executive
|
||
chef, you decide what software you want to serve. Using your recipe, GitLab handles
|
||
all the prep work, cooking, and delivery, so you can turn around orders faster
|
||
than ever.
|
||
|
||
The following sections provide links to documentation for each DevOps stage:

### Secure
|
||
|
||
Check your application for security vulnerabilities that may lead to unauthorized access,
|
||
data leaks, and denial of services. GitLab will perform static and dynamic tests on the
|
||
code of your application, looking for known flaws and report them in the merge request
|
||
so you can fix them before merging. Security teams can use dashboards to get a
|
||
high-level view on projects and groups, and start remediation processes when needed.
|
||
