We performed a comparison between Broadcom Agile Requirements Designer and Polarion Requirements based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Requirements Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The scale possibilities are endless, especially when combined with all the other products that CA has to offer."
"It takes away all the time to construct test cases, so it is all automatic now, but it also levels the playing field."
"The modeling is a game-changer."
"It helped us to move from manual testing to automation testing."
"It gives us an idea of creating the visual diagrams, which are quite easy to use. It is helpful in creating our business processes."
"Integration with TDM, test data management tool, provides the ability to generate data or use identified (preset or parametrized) test data. It allows significant expansion of test coverage and flexibility, without creating new tests and needing to maintain them."
"Integration with automation is one of the reasons we started to consider moving to this tool from our original tool for implementing test modeling. ARD appears to have better integration with Selenium. It also has the ability to record scripts/flows using Selenium Builder and import them into ARD, which will then create and optimize a model based on that."
"Defects can be traced in the solution."
"I would say there is value in how powerful, configurable, and user-friendly it is."
"The biggest improvement would be in the transparency we have now. We have very complex products. We make whole systems with difficult and diverse areas such as hardware, software, mechanical and printing, etc. To get the overview of all the requirements into a system, at that sizing, is the main advantage we have in the organization now."
"Its flexibility and APIs are the most valuable."
"My company mainly utilizes the product for documenting internal standards, guidelines, and requirements. Currently, we're focusing on using it for internal purposes, but the vision is to expand its usage to include contract requirements and tracking functionalities. While we're not there yet, it has proven effective for managing our internal documentation needs."
"Polarion Requirements' most valuable features are link tracing, book entry, and sequence training features."
"A valuable feature from my side would be the comparison corporization."
"It is easier to produce documents using the platform."
"I like the way this solution is structured."
"Needs improvement in aligning models so they look clear and readable without having to move boxes around."
"Broadcom Agile Requirements Designer could improve the UI. Other solutions have a much better UI. The new UI should have a new modern framework."
"CA ARD doesn't provide integration with Tosca. The possibility of creating a test case and exporting it into Tosca is not available. Integration with end-to-end automation tools, like Worksoft or Tosca, is not provided by CA ARD as of now."
"At present, there is no option for test data parameters from ARD for virtual databases. We have to create them in TDM and push them as well. Virtual database connectivity needs to be improved. They need to come up with some areas where they can create synthetic data parameters easily from the test cases that have been designed."
"Integration with Agile management tools can be improved, i.e., mainly test case maintenance and linking test cases to the automation script."
"Data flexibility is something which I would like to see, along with more integration with App Test."
"They do not have an engine to house test scripts to really pull together the testing pieces of it."
"The solution could improve security and authentication."
"If we have more than one thousand work items in one live-book then it becomes almost unusable."
"Its user interface could be more user friendly. In addition, a lot of features are missing for test management. It should have the test case ordering feature."
"The risk assessment functionality needs improvement, like FMEA risk management."
"The usability of the solution should also be improved."
"Polarion Requirement needs to have a feature where we can track changes and compare documents. Currently, we do it manually."
"The platform's review process for the documents could be better."
"It is stable enough but if you would like to work with more requirement objects, then you will get timeouts."
"It is not a stable solution, as we had issues with shared licenses."
