Integrated web-based Requirements Management Solutions with Total Traceability

Maintain Traceability to/from Requirements

When you need serious levels of traceability from Requirements to implementation and tests, you owe it to yourself to take a look at Polarion ALM. Simply put: traceability is intrinsic to Polarion ALM. It happens day to day through workflows that you can define, and through unprecedented linking and tracking capabilities for all types of development artifacts, in real time, as people do their jobs. And it starts with requirements.

3 Ways to Elicit Requirements: Web, Wiki, Word/Excel

Whether your organization is document-centric, tool-centric, or a bit of both, Polarion ALM lets your team gather and define requirements in the way that fits best:

• Web-based Requirements Designer – create hierarchical trees of requirements directly in the portal with an easy, word-processor-like interface
• Integrated Wiki – author requirements in the Wiki and links to/from related work items (test cases for example)
• Microsoft Office^® Word (or Excel) – Write up requirements in office documents using Polarion's exclusive, innovative Live Documents technology, then manage them in Polarion.

You can build libraries of Requirements and reuse them across different projects.

Expedited Approvals

Polarion ALM provides support for varying approval scenarios form simple 1-click approval by one or more defined Approvers, to a customizable workflow-driven process... even a combination of both ways. Workflows can have role-based field filtering and write protection to make sure only authorized people can see and approve information.

Exclusive LiveDocument Technology

Requirements people can opt to work with preferred Microsoft Office^® tools (Word and Excel), keeping requirements in sync with the online Requirements Designer, and enabling engineering to manage implementation in a data-driven environment. Customizable templates turn documents authored in Microsoft Office 2003 Professional into Live Documents. Changes to these documents are always synchronized, and appropriate people are automatically notified. Quality need never be compromised because testers can always know when a previously tested requirement changes.

Easy Functional Specifications

Export requirements to a special Microsoft Office Word template, to which you can add styles from your own template and voilà – you have a complete functional specification ready for sharing, collaboration, or publication.
