Clarify Continuous Integration Group with rename to Pipeline Execution and move CI Variables

Overview

In gitlab-org/verify-stage#59 (closed), we discussed renaming ~"group::continuous integration" to "Pipeline Execution" to better define what this group does, additionally removing ~CI Variables from the scope to better distribute the workload across devopsverify.

The rename of ~"group::continuous integration" is to clarify that this group is not a catch-all for the Verify stage and is focused on the pipeline processing, CI minute consumption, and overall pipeline experiences in GitLab. Removing CI Variables will also allow the team to address severity2 issues that are out of SLO (we currently have over 80 in ~"group::continuous integration").

We have another proposal open to rename Verify Stage to Continuous Integration being discussed via Product#2601 (closed).

Next Steps

• Gain Approval of name change and category move
• @dhershkovitch work with @cheryl.li to reassign ~CI Variables going forward to grouppipeline authoring
• Move the issues over to grouppipeline authoring
• @v_mishra and @jreporter will continue the UX scorecard of Variables and deliver the findings as a handover exercise in 14.1
