Recommendation based on the UX scorecard:

Right now, the flow to enable a security features feels disjointed and even broken at some steps. The UI doesn't always inform the user about the current status or about what is going on. This leaves a lot of room for guessing and consequentially confusion.

Users may struggle particularly with:

  • what to do on the MR page when there aren't clear next steps?
  • where should the user go to see the results of the security scans and when?

We could detect when a Secure feature is being enabled through the MR and offer additional guidance on the MR page. Key areas:

  • explain to users that they need to wait for the pipeline to finish
  • after the pipeline finishes, where do they go to see the results?
