Polarion On-premise

Overall Satisfaction with Polarion ALM

As the Institute of Flight System Dynamics of the Technical University of Munich, we use Polarion in research and teaching.
As part of our research, we work on lean model-based development workflows for light control systems (FCS) and unmanned aircraft system (UAS).
Based on our configuration and custom extensions, Polarion helps us to implement these workflows to reduce the effort for the users, improve traceability and ensure consistency.
Everything we have learned during our research, we try to include in our practical seminars so that students get hands-on experience with Polarion and already know what it means to work on the full lifecycle of the system or software.
  • Requirements engineering in a document editor

  • Managing more than just requirements on Polarion and having traceability between the artifacts
  • Automatic Coverage Analysis

Polarion is an established tool in the industry and works especially well with the other tools from Siemens (e.g. TeamCenter).
It is well suited for any engineering or software development project independent of the industry segment.
It works well for smaller teams but also large companies.
It's ready to use in short time when you only need built-in features or use existing third-party extensions.
Extending Polarion's features on your own takes time but then you can fully adapt it too your needs.
