A complete test management tool that facilitates developers' unit testing

Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time. This would reduce the execution time, helping achieve goals on time, and with less effort required. I use the different licenses to manage this issue and it can be controlled by different users for functional testing.

Useful for Application Lifecycle Management and has good collaboration features

In my opinion, Polarion Requirements' most beneficial feature is the ability to manage specifications within a work-like document that functions as a work item. Its collaboration features have worked very well and have been very useful. We can easily exchange information with the testing team, the business, and with DevOps.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is code coverage."

"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."

"Polarion Requirements' most valuable features are link tracing, book entry, and sequence training features."

"It is easier to produce documents using the platform."

"A valuable feature from my side would be the comparison corporization."

"The solution is especially great for organizing folders effectively."

"We can easily customize it because of the web services and open APIs. Also, the APIs are available. We integrated Polarion with one of Siemens' products, Teamcenter, which is especially useful for automotive industries. There is an open API for integration with Jira as well, so for me, customization is a strong point."

"Its flexibility and APIs are the most valuable."

"In my opinion, Polarion Requirements' most beneficial feature is the ability to manage specifications within a work-like document that functions as a work item. Its collaboration features have worked very well and have been very useful. We can easily exchange information with the testing team, the business, and with DevOps."

"I would say there is value in how powerful, configurable, and user-friendly it is."

Cons

"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."

"The solution's speed has room for improvement."

"The risk assessment functionality needs improvement, like FMEA risk management."

"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."

"It is stable enough but if you would like to work with more requirement objects, then you will get timeouts."

"In my opinion, the main area for improvement in Polarion Requirements is its user interface. It should be easier for engineers to understand how it works, as many features are not very easily understandable for end-users."

"The platform's review process for the documents could be better."

"If we have more than one thousand work items in one live-book then it becomes almost unusable."

"Integration can be a little tricky if you're not aware of basic computer science or programming language."

"It is not a stable solution, as we had issues with shared licenses."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Costly."

"It is expensive but not for what it is. It is just the right price for what it is. Its price is also similar to other solutions."

"I believe the cost is subjective. It seems a bit pricey, but it depends on your perspective. To provide some context, I compared the prices with GitLab and Jira. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Jira's prices. However, GitLab costs around 40 euros, and DeepLab, which I recently discovered, also falls in a similar price range. I'm not sure about DeepLab's features or interface improvements, as they might have been implementing requirements management over the past six months. In contrast, Polarion costs around 50 to 60 euros based on the 2021 prices I have. While it may seem a bit expensive, it's worth considering whether the additional investment, perhaps around 68 euros per user, is justified. It might appear costly at first glance, but it's essential to acknowledge that it can greatly streamline your work processes."

"The product's price is high."

"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"The pricing model is flexible. You don't have to pay for the full functionalities. And it's a one-time investment for the licenses. You purchase what you need and then can work with that."

"Polarion Requirements is a little pricey."
