About Golive
Golive is a Test Environment Management (TEM) solution that helps teams manage the full lifecycle of their Environments directly from Jira. It organizes Environment data and automates common tasks, giving teams visibility and control over the past, present, and future states of their Environments.
What Golive Does
Golive treats Environments as time-aware assets. It provides tools to track changes (past), monitor status (present), and plan usage (future). By integrating with Jira and DevOps tools, Golive helps teams coordinate, automate, and document their Environment management processes.
Tracking Environments and Deployments (Past and Present)
Golive centralizes Environment information so teams can monitor changes over time and access the current state of each Environment.
Past: Golive stores historical data, including deployment records, configuration changes, and status logs. This supports audit requirements, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
Present: Teams can view up-to-date details such as configuration, ownership, infrastructure, and deployed versions. Dashboards and issue panels in Jira display the current Environment status. Notifications can be configured to alert teams of any changes, such as deployments or status updates.
Tracking supports traceability by linking Environments to Jira issues. This helps teams understand where and when testing or deployments occurred. For details, refer to the Track Environments section of this documentation.
Scheduling Environments (Future)
Golive provides scheduling features to coordinate the planned use of Environments.
Future: Teams can create bookings for upcoming tests, deployments, or maintenance activities. Visual tools like shared calendars and timelines help identify available time slots.
Golive automatically detects overlapping bookings and helps prevent conflicts.
Environment usage data supports forecasting, allowing teams to anticipate future demand and plan capacity accordingly.
This scheduling functionality helps avoid resource conflicts and improves coordination across teams. For details, refer to the Schedule Environments of this documentation.
Orchestrating Environments (Automation and Integration)
Golive connects with infrastructure, CI/CD systems, and monitoring tools to support automation of Environment-related tasks.
Teams can configure workflows in Jira to automate deployments, refreshes, and provisioning processes.
Environment self-service options can be enabled through Jira automation, reducing dependencies on operations or DevOps teams.
This orchestration capability helps standardize and streamline Environment management, especially in complex or fast-paced delivery pipelines. For details, refer to the Integrations section of this documentation.
