New integration platform for Polarion ALM

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

If you need to migrate or integrate existing (legacy) tools to ensure a successful, cost effective and seamless rollout with user acceptance, or exchange data with external partners in order to fulfill contractual requirements, be sure to check out the new agosense.symphony Integration Platform for Polarion.

This new extension from agosense covers all aspects of integration and data exchange in combination with Polarion ALM., enabling you to easily integrate established systems such as configuration management systems with a modern ALM platform to achieve a continuous development process. Adapters integrating a variety of systems/data formats are available, including:

  • IBM Rational DOORS, ClearCase, and RequisitePro
  • Atlassian JIRA
  • Mozilla Bugzilla
  • Perforce
  • HP Quality Center
  • Requirements Interchange Format (RIF)

This extension is supported by Polarion Software (current maintenance/support agreement required). For more info and downloads, visit the Polarion POP portal at

Polarion 2010 – the most advanced Polarion ever!

Friday, January 29th, 2010

It’s a brand new year, and Polarion Software is excited to announce the release of a brand new Polarion: Polarion 2010. This release delivers many new features that customers have asked for. We’ll tell you more about these below, and also where you can have a look at the new release online, and where you can download it. Let’s begin with new features.

Improved Navigation

The first thing you’ll notice is the simplified navigation. A single Navigation pane provides all resources and shortcuts for a project or repository. New Open button and dialog, with Windows 7 style Favorites, make it quicker and easier to open the project, project group or repository you want to work with.

Even More Robust Modules

  • Outline numbering: You can now optionally add automatic outline numbering to work items (e.g. Requirements). These appear both in the portal and in PDF exports.
  • Multiple Module reuse: reuse multiple modules at once , establishing cross-module links in the new modules. For example, you can manage a requirements specification module and system test module (with test cases) in one place, and reuse both of them at once when implementing some variant of the base specification. In the new modules the test cases will be linked to requirements.
  • Move items within Modules: New buttons in the Designer view let you move an item before or after, or as the first or last child another item in the module structure .
  • Bulk Move to Module: Now you can move work items from any module (or from normal storage) to another module. If you ever import work items from a Word document, you’ll appreciate this capability.
  • Export Home page revisions to PDF: Module revisions are in effect baselines. By rendering module work items on e.g the Module’s Home page, you can export any revision of the page to PDF. (Revision export works for other wiki pages too.)

(NOTE: Modules are a feature of Polarion ALM and Polarion Requirements.)

New open source Subversion training released

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

We’ve just released an updated version of our open source project SubTrain, our highly appreciated SVN training tool for new and advanced Subversion users and admins. In terms of downloads, it gets far less some of our other open source projects such as the 750,000 users of Subversive; but in terms of customer feedback – SubTrain is loved for its clarity of content, complete coverage of the most important topics, and efficient delivery!

Everyone agrees that SubTrain is a great Subversion training solution that helps cut migration and training costs. Why does Polarion invest time and money in SubTrain and provide it free to the world, when our competitors charge for such quality courseware?
