Perforce Software has announced significant enhancements to Perforce Intelligence, introducing new capabilities designed to help enterprises govern, secure, and operationalize artificial intelligence across the software delivery lifecycle. The latest release includes an MCP-agnostic Agentic Gateway, an AI-powered autonomous testing platform, and a unified compliance solution, enabling organizations to accelerate AI adoption while maintaining visibility, security, and regulatory compliance.
As enterprises increasingly deploy AI in production environments, managing governance, compliance, and operational efficiency has become a growing priority. Perforce's latest updates are designed to provide organizations with greater control over AI workflows while simplifying software delivery across highly regulated industries.
The release introduces three core capabilities that work together to address AI orchestration, testing automation, and continuous compliance throughout the AI-driven software development lifecycle.
The new Perforce Agentic Gateway serves as a centralized AI orchestration layer that enables enterprises to manage both Perforce and third-party Model Context Protocol (MCP) services through a single installation.
The gateway helps organizations:
Designed as a precursor to an enterprise AI control plane, the gateway enables AI agents to coordinate workflows across the Perforce portfolio while operating within established governance frameworks.
Perforce has also introduced Perforce Autonomous Testing, allowing both technical and non-technical users to create automation tests using natural language instead of traditional scripting.
Through a unified conversational interface, users can describe desired validation scenarios while AI automatically generates and executes test workflows.
Key capabilities include:
Built on Perforce's BlazeMeter and Perfecto platforms, the solution is designed to simplify test automation while supporting continuous quality engineering.
Perforce Unified Compliance introduces an intelligence layer that translates written security and compliance policies into continuous infrastructure enforcement.
The platform enables organizations to:
Current capabilities also include executive-level compliance dashboards and cloud infrastructure cost governance. Future releases will expand integrations across data governance, software supply chain security, product lifecycle management, and safety-critical software development.
Perforce positions the latest enhancements as a response to growing enterprise demand for measurable AI outcomes alongside stronger governance.
As organizations shift from AI experimentation to production deployment, executive leadership is increasingly focused on demonstrating return on investment while maintaining operational transparency, regulatory compliance, and cost control.
The expanded Perforce Intelligence platform is intended to provide enterprises with greater visibility into AI operations while reducing complexity across modern DevOps environments.
Jim Mercer, Program Vice President, IDC
"Scaling AI across the software delivery lifecycle or AI lifecycle introduces new challenges around orchestration, governance, and compliance. Further, the need to prove AI ROI is no longer only a technology question but also an executive and board member need. There's a lot of money being spent with AI, but the next evolution needs to be on ROI of AI, which can only be measured if you have control mechanisms in place and visibility into what it's doing. Perforce's vision for Perforce Intelligence reflects the industry's shift toward more connected, governed, and autonomous software delivery environments with better visibility and impact to a business."
Anjali Arora, CTO of Perforce
"The future of AI in the enterprise will be defined by how effectively organizations can control, scale, and operationalize AI workflows, models, and deliver real business results with clear visibility and traceability. Having worked with some of the biggest enterprises and highly regulated industries that need both scalability and control, Perforce is uniquely positioned to be that control plane. The latest iterations of Perforce Intelligence are steps to bring both control and speed with the AI-DLC."
With these enhancements, Perforce is strengthening its strategy to provide enterprises with a comprehensive AI governance framework that combines software delivery automation, testing, compliance, and operational oversight. The platform is designed to help organizations accelerate AI adoption while maintaining the trust, transparency, and control required in enterprise environments.
