With a Ramp test (indoors and ERG mode), you turn pedals until you can't.

I agree that the ramp test is repeatable, but it may not be measuring your aerobic capacity accurately. If you are training to increase your aerobic capacity, then you need a test that measures this properly, and the ramp test, in my experience, does not due to the undue influence of your anaerobic capacity.
