Introduction

Polarion ALM is a popular browser-based platform for managing requirements. Parasoft DTP integrates with Polarion ALM, providing the following functionality:

• Ability to manually create defects and issues in Polarion ALM from the Violations Explorer view.
• Ability to manually create defects and issues in Polarion ALM from the Test Explorer view.
• Ability to send, view, and update Parasoft test results in Polarion work items (see Sending Test Data to Polarion ALM and Viewing Results).
  • For users who plan to track traceability using traceability reports in Polarion. In order to do this, you need to first send test results from Parasoft DTP to Polarion.
• Traceability from Polarion requirements to tests, static analysis results, and code reviews (see Parasoft to Polarion ALM Traceability Reports).
  • For users who plan to track traceability using traceability reports in Parasoft DTP. In order to do this, use @req to associate your automated tests in Parasoft to Polarion requirements.

Requirements

Integration Files

DTP does not ship with the JAR files necessary for fully integrating with Polarion due to issues detected during internal testing. If you choose to integrate with Polarion, contact Parasoft ([email protected]) to obtain the JAR files necessary to enable the integration. Copy the files into the <DTP_DATA>/lib/thirdparty directory and restart DTP (see Stopping DTP Services and Starting DTP Applications).

The <DTP_DATA>/lib/thirdparty directory is overwritten during the upgrade process, so the JAR files will need to be re-added after upgrading DTP.
