Polarion ALM
Web-based application lifecycle management for requirements, quality, and software development traceability.
Polarion ALM is Siemens' application lifecycle management system, acquired in 2016 and now part of the Xcelerator portfolio. It manages requirements, test cases and test runs, defects, tasks, and releases in a single browser-based environment with full end-to-end traceability and a versioned, audit-ready history. Polarion is widely used in safety- and compliance-critical development — automotive (ASPICE, ISO 26262), medical devices (FDA, IEC 62304), aerospace, and rail — and integrates with Teamcenter and with development tools such as Git, Jira, and CI pipelines.
