# 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:
