Polarion ALM Primary Use Case

DK
Personal Consultant

The solution is to create the documentation necessary, especially if it is to be given in technical documentation, to get the right to put a medical device on the market. For a medical device, you have to give the regulatory authority a lot of information, and they go down to the lines of code and to the risk management of this line of code, for this database is needed since it is no more possible to do it with hands. In this case, they outsourced the validation of the software with another company, and they made the software with another company. Polarion was used to extract from the software the information for the regulatory authority.

We use the solution for managing the requirements for a development project for a new type of transportation system. The challenge was to create a common basis for a multi-functional DevOps team working on a big program with different connected projects and to improve the development processes with a single, unified platform for requirements management, development support, testing, and release management. A major need was to more effectively plan, orchestrate, and track the requirements for our complex system across those multiple projects, and their individual yet connected lifecycles.

We're an automotive company. Polarion ALM captures our customers' requirements and validates against those requirements.  We have our environment within our mother company, so only our people can see our data. I think it's called a project environment, but we have multiple projects. We work on the customer requirements and translate them into products designed here in our headquarters. Those are produced in factories across the globe.

Only the engineers and the test engineers in the headquarters will have access to Polarion. However, it is within the system of our mother company, so they have an automotive and medical project. We'll be in the automotive project, but we still coordinate with the guy managing the system. We want to make sure we're the only ones who can see our data. That is also a requirement of our audit.

Senior Research Engineer at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees

We mainly use Polarion ALM for requirements engineering as well as task planning and task execution, but we mainly use it as a documentation and traceability tool.

I work in the medical device development field. Even though Polarion is quite expensive, it's quite a good solution for medical device development in general, especially for software development.

Within our previous company, not that many people used Polarion as it was only used within our department relating to medical device development. I'd say around 20 to 30 people were using it. It's hard to say as we had around six licenses with some floating licenses.
