# Add Test Verification Gate

A gate is an access point which allows you to stop the pipeline to automatically go to the next stage. A gate helps you to manually intervene and verify or approve a stage of the pipeline before moving on to the next stage in sequence. Adding a Gate in ISD allows you to either automate your pipeline based on data from supported data sources. There are four types of gates you can add:

* Approval
* Verification
* Test Verification
* Policy 

### Test Verification Gate

A verification gate is to analyze logs from your Test Harness to evaluate the risk in software delivery. 

You can add a Test Verification Gate after creating a service and pipeline to the application. To add a **Test Verification** Gate follow the steps below:

{% hint style="info" %}
If you haven’t created an application already,  click [here](https://docs.opsmx.com/products/opsmx-intelligent-software-delivery-platform/system-setup/applications/add-applications). 

If you haven’t created your pipelines yet, click [here](https://docs.opsmx.com/products/opsmx-intelligent-software-delivery-platform/system-setup/applications/add-services/add-services-and-pipelines). 
{% endhint %}

1. From the ISD application dashboard, Click "**Setup**" --> Click "**Applications**" and then Click your "**Application Name"** as shown in the image below. This will take you to the Service Pipelines page.
