Polarion QA: Software Quality Assurance

Track all possible and reported failures. Plan and assign tasks to mitigate them. Get the ability to:

• Track issues automatically on any test failure, no matter if test is manual or automated, performed in Polarion or in a third-party tool, you can ensure the issue is tracked immediately for all activities
• Assign issues automatically based on issue classification (category, severity, component, etc.)
• Analyze the quality of the requirements by measuring the number of issues and change requests linked to requirements (imported or tracked manually in Polarion)
• Identify all possible failures, risks, harms and hazards, and plan and assign tasks to mitigate the potential risk
• Access built-in project templates (fully customizable), allowing you to manage potential risks, follow the standard Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) approach and save time when creating risk assessment for new projects
• Reduce the risk of critical bugs going untested before being released into the field

Manage all testing activities from a central platform. Polarion ALM allows you to:

• Create test cases and easily link them to their corresponding work items such as requirements, change requests, other test cases and more
• Parameterize your test steps to separate a test specification and test items configuration so you can execute the same procedure several times to fully cover your complex test conditions
• Automatically create bug reports and tasks for developers based on test failures to shorten the fix time
• Leverage automated test cases as a "first-class citizen." Integrate with third-party test automation tools via Open API, create auto-run via builds and be import-ready for any test results in xUnit file format
• Execute test cases with online test execution panel or offline by exporting to MS Excel and importing test results back
• Build traceability from requirements, not just to test cases but individual test records
• Accurately and consistently automate verification and verification tasks with electronic signatures
• Access our HP QC Connector and get seamless integration with the HP Quality Center for test management

Improve decision-making and project execution with detailed analytics and real-time status reports. Polarion ALM lets you:

• View any report online in real-time, including on mobile devices—or export to pdf for offline access
• Easily create your own reports with our online WYSIWYG report designer
• Open any report from any historical moment with our exclusive time machine functionality
• Run reports across multiple projects to help coordinate activities across disparate teams, and use BIRT for reporting across multiple data sources
• Automate event monitoring and change notifications plus push important information to collaborators via My Polarion dashboards
• Assess the performance of your project in real-time—live, always up-to-date and fully configurable to your needs
• Ensure your code meets metrics for security, reliability and maintainability with status source code analysis
• Extend the reporting capabilities by in-place scripting with full access to Open API or deploy your own custom widgets
