Cons
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time.""The solution's speed has room for improvement."

More Parasoft Development Testing Platform Cons →

"We use PTC Windchill, and Polarion ALM doesn't have native integration, so we had to purchase the connector to integrate it with Polarion ALM. We still haven't implemented it.""Test management lacks an automated process.""As Polarion ALM is a development-oriented tool, easy support or easy access is provided by default, but if I want to use detailed features, I need to write the script, particularly the VM script, and this is its area for improvement. I want Polarion ALM to have a graphical user interface that doesn't need scripting. In the next release of the tool, I'd like for it to not require scripting and programming because needing to run script language is time-consuming.""The interface for this solution needs to be made more user-friendly to provide a better user experience.""The solution's editing capabilities need improvement.""The configuration aspect of the solution is not easy. A person needs a lot of programming knowledge in order to successfully handle the job.""The user interface is not yet optimized.""The weak point of Polarion ALM software is about reporting and time for extraction of the data...The quality of reporting needs to improve."
