Why Planview?

Increase efficiency, improve quality, and reduce costs with Planview’s test environment management software

In today’s software development organizations, quality and speed are crucial, and development leaders must balance these two to stay competitive. Planview’s Test Environment Management (TEM) solution gives software development and testing leaders simplified, centralized test environment management that aligns test and production environments, making it easier to manage costs and gain visibility across the CI/CD pipeline. By providing a single source of data to automate, schedule, govern, and measure the entire testing process, Planview’s TEM solution helps minimize cost overruns, reduce delays, and ensure quality across the software delivery lifecycle.

Improve resource and infrastructure management

Manage and allocate test environments efficiently, preventing wasted resources and cost overruns.

Improve efficiency through process control and automation

Integrated test environments and automated handovers let teams work without disruption.

Improve quality and reduce risk of environment-related issues

Address discrepancies in testing and production environments to accelerate issue identification and resolution.

Planview’s test environment management solution helps overcome 6 common obstacles to software delivery success

Disconnected end-to-end delivery processes

Lack of alignment and communication between teams

Delays and complications caused by poorly configured environments

Wasted team capacity caused by disjointed systems and too many manual processes

Zero visibility into availability, demand, and usage of test environments

Poorly managed test processes that introduce quality issues and risk into software development
