What is Planview Verify?
Planview Verify is a test environment management product that gives IT teams centralized coordination and orchestration of pre-production test environments. It replaces manual scheduling, spreadsheets, and ad-hoc handoffs with a single system for booking, change management, conflict detection, and environment health monitoring across the full path to production, from developer machine through integration testing, user acceptance testing, staging, and into production.
Booking and Scheduling
- A self-service booking engine and consolidated calendar centralize environment allocation across all projects and teams
- Bookings support custom fields, approval workflows, and service-level agreements
- A single booking request can cover the full path to production for a release
Change Management
- Environment change requests govern code deployments, database refreshes, infrastructure updates, configuration changes, and network updates
- Change requests overlay the environment schedule so teams with existing bookings can see the impact of planned changes on their testing
- Supports custom workflows, approvals, and service-level agreements by change type
Conflict Detection and Impact Analysis
- An intelligent allocation engine detects booking collisions automatically and flags conflicts before they cause outages
- When an environment fails, the platform identifies which releases are affected, giving release managers and environment teams immediate visibility into downstream impact
Route-to-Live Visibility
- Tracks the complete path to production for every release, including which environments code has passed through, what versions are deployed where, and what testing has run
- A continuous delivery pipeline view surfaces activity normally hidden inside individual dev and test tools
Automated Dev-to-Test Handoff
- Integration with build automation tools links builds to test environments, so a build can trigger on demand when new code is ready
- New builds automatically link back to the originating change ID, connecting new code to the tests that need to run without manual communication
Requirements Traceability
- A requirements traceability matrix links change IDs and builds to associated requirements and test cases for a given release
- Tracks test execution status, defect counts, and progress, with drill-down to individual defect lists
Test Coverage and Results Reporting
- Aggregates test results from multiple testing tools into a centralized data mart, creating a single source of truth regardless of which tool generated the results
- Produces test execution, coverage, and results reporting that can be compared across value streams
Environment Health and Drift Monitoring
- A single dashboard view shows the health status of all environments, including planned versus unplanned downtime
- Environment drift reporting tracks version numbers across environment groups to surface when an environment has fallen out of sync
Utilization and Financial Management
- Tracks which environments are used, by whom, and for how long, to identify underutilized environments for consolidation or decommissioning
- Forecasts environment costs and supports cost allocation to consuming teams
- Cloud environments can be powered down automatically during off-hours to reduce spend
Cloud, Hybrid, and Infrastructure as Code Support
- Works with cloud orchestration tools to provision and deprovision environments on demand
- Manages mixed dedicated and cloud environments across hybrid or multi-cloud configurations
- Integrates with Infrastructure as Code tooling
Toolchain Integration
- Integrates with ITSM tools including ServiceNow and Remedy for change and incident management
- Integrates with build automation tools for on-demand builds and with ALM tools and CMDB systems for configuration data
- A REST API supports custom integrations
