Polarion
Lifecycle management for software and systems
Polarion is an application lifecycle management (ALM) platform unifying requirements, test cases, code and defects, so “what does this change affect” has a documented answer.
As software content in products grows, a mechanically oriented PLM loses its grip: requirements in Word, test cases in Excel, defects in chat groups, and nobody can say which verifications a given change touches. Polarion puts all four object types into one traceable relationship network — change a requirement and the affected cases and tests flag themselves.
It suits teams working towards functional safety certification (ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and similar), because what auditors want is precisely traceability evidence. It also integrates with Teamcenter, closing the loop across mechanical, electrical and software disciplines.
Key capabilities
Requirements management
Itemised, versioned requirements with baselines and change impact analysis.
Test management
Test cases, execution plans and results, with automatic coverage statistics.
End-to-end traceability
Bi-directional links between requirements, cases, defects and code changes.
Defects and tasks
Issue tracking and agile iteration management with kanban and burndown.
Compliance and audit
Audit trails and report output to support functional safety certification.
Toolchain integration
Connects to Git, Jenkins and similar, linking commits and builds automatically.
What it delivers
- Impact of a requirement change is visible at a glance instead of recalled from memory
- Traceability evidence for audits is generated rather than assembled
- Test coverage becomes measurable and quality status transparent
- Teamcenter integration extends coverage across mechanical, electrical and software
- No more requirements, cases and defects living in three disconnected worlds
