Longer Term

Vision Goals



Longer Term Vision Goals

Accelerate innovation through continuous delivery

Accelerate innovation through continuous delivery

• Enable customers to release software faster and more often

• Streamline the DevOps collaboration

• Manage complex quality and safety requirements (ISO

26262, IEC 62304, DO-178C,…)

• Harness the power of reusing assets




Agile transformation

Agile Transformation

• Empower & FastTrack Enterprise and Embedded SW

Development Customers with Polarion ALM agile readiness

• Decrease customer configuration time with out-of-the-box

templates for agile teams and SAFe




Platform scalability

Platform scalability

• Anticipate on increase roll-out within the customer

organization structure, facilitating both co-located team

management as well as distributed team management.

• Ensure optimal performance under high data volume and

user load

• Retain & optimize clear UX flow and UI design



Roadmap



Roadmap Disclaimer

The published roadmap is NOT A COMMITMENT FOR DELIVERY but rather a forward looking view to

communicate the product directions and plans

• The products organization reserves the right to adjust the roadmap at any time and in any way

• as refinements to the requirements and costs are better understood

• to accommodate changing priorities, technologies, and commitments

• When a customer requires a commitment for a future deliverable, there is a formal commitment request

process

• This process requires that a specification is agreed upon between the requesting party and the products

organization along with an approval process that considers the assesses the risk of making the

commitment to the overall plans and roadmap

• This document is intended to provide a broad and hi-level overview of the key solutions and themes for

upcoming Polarion releases. It is NOT intended to be a replacement for the Release Notes or detailed

enhancements in various releases of Polarion.

Enterprise boost

User Group Management

Simplify management of access rights and permissions by

introducing user groups

Simplify management of access rights and permissions by introducing

user groups

• Projects will share the same permissions and user roles

• Projects will vary just by assignments of user roles to user groups

• User groups will be synchronized/derived with/by LDAP.



Polarion Integrations





Core Integrations

Improved Embedded Objects Synchronization with DOORS

• Link roles mapping

• Mapping of complex types

New TFS Connector

• Built on same technology as existing Jira and HP QC connector

• Improved robustness and feature set

Infrastructure for Implementation of new Connectors

• Api that allows to implement new connectors by 3rd party developers

• Extensibilitiy of existing OOTB connectors



Advanced Reuse

Reuse Assets Easily



Advanced reuse

Occurrence level metadata

• The market is looking for ultimate solution for artefact reuse in the context of

sw product line engineering

• No perfect solution exists today

• Step one: Contextual metadata = reuse content, track metadata in project

• Occurrence level metadata

• Occurrence traceability

• Unify Derived and Branched document concepts



Advanced reuse

Merge Improvements

• Occurrence level metadata come with specific challeges, e.g.

• Merge contextual tracelinks

• Capture project/product-level context

• Merge tracelinks

Use “Push to Master” to

propagate change

including links



Advanced reuse

Requirement Parametrization

• Other major domain to be covered is parametrization of requirements and test

cases, where parameter values are managed consistently and indepently on

the content.

• Use parameters in requirements

content

• Fill parameter values during

variant generation



Cloud ready

Polarion SaaS

Slack integration

Slack integration for easier collaboration

• Create Work Item from Slack messages

• Notify channel upon object modification

• Display Work Item attributes in Slack

Web hooks

• Lean framework to implement triggers for external tools on object change

Cloud-ready administration

Easy administration from UI

• Apply configuration changes without downtime

• Granual differentiation between global and project admin permissions

SaaS identity management
