Use Cases and Deployment Scope
When we worked on a locomotive project, we were responsible for managing the requirements, reviews, and test cases. In order to handle several projects and various documentation levels, Polarion ALM is utilized to link them and trace them back to each other. Management systems and software requirements may be managed with this tool, Additionally, it helps link and track the two entities. Since it is web-based, it also allows for user-to-user cooperation.
Pros and Cons
  • System and software needs may be managed in a systematic manner.
  • Because it is web-based, it makes it possible for users to work together.
  • It is possible to upload the papers and files.
  • Text editing in that program may be more sophisticated, similar to what you'd find in Word.
  • Views, like Table, Tree, and Matrix, aren't all that easy to figure out.
  • Finding items that fit specific criteria using filters is cumbersome and should be made simpler. This is particularly true when filtering numerous documents at once.
Likelihood to Recommend
Because of its flexibility and ability to be tailored to your unique business, it is ideal for large organizations with numerous users that require online collaboration. However, users must undergo extensive training before they can begin using the system, and mistakes are common. When it is utilized for an excessive number of purposes, it may make things exceedingly difficult to understand.
Return on Investment
  • It navigates through several documents quickly and efficiently.
  • It allows numerous people to examine and comment on the same document at the same time.
  • It offers a way to control software and hardware needs.
Configuration Lessons
Everything is really simple to comprehend, and the user interface is intuitive and straightforward. This tool is simple to operate and can be learned in a short amount of time. In addition to the documentation for the close-out process, I utilize this for the creation of the test plan and test cases, the execution of the tests, and the evaluation of the test results.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used to manage requirements, reviews, and test cases for a locomotive project. There are many line replaceable units in the system so Polarion ALM is used to manage several projects and different levels of documentation and the linking and tracing between the two.
Scope:- It provide a means to management system and software requirement
It also provide linking and traceability between the two
It also allow for collaboration between users since it is web based
Pros and Cons
  • manages multiple documents well and saves time in navigation
  • allows multiple uses to view the same document and provide comments and feedback
  • provide a means to management system and software requirements
  • The text editing could be more advanced like Word
  • The different views like Table, Tree and Matrix and not very intuitive
  • The ability to use filters to search for items that meet certain criteria is a little clumsy and could be easier, especially if you want to run a filter against multiple documents
Likelihood to Recommend
It is good if you have a lot of users and need online collaboration and it can be customized for your specific company but it takes a lot of training for users to learn how to use it and there is a lot of room for errors. Sometimes it is used for too many things and it can get very confusing.

figure out what you need it to do for your process and limit your use to that instead of trying to use things "just because it can do it"
