Dear Polarion Friends,
Gartner’s new report "Magic Quadrant for Application Lifecycle Management" was released this month and we at Polarion are quite pleased with the positioning and the validation of our solution by Gartner.
For more information about this analyst report, please drop us an email at info@polarion. With this report Polarion has achieved broad coverage with the leading industry analysts Gartner, OVUM/Datamonitor and IDC.
I worry a bit that this newsletter is over long, but the fact is: Polarion is on the move and there’s been a lot happening that I feel is important to share with our many customers and friends. So I wish you happy reading!
Yours sincerely,
Frank Schröder
CEO Polarion Software

Help for the "Agile or Compliant" Conundrum
More and more companies, even in highly regulated industries, are going with (or at least investigating and piloting) Agile methods in their software and product development. The big challenges are:
- How can you stay agile and still satisfy the regulators?
- Can you actually be agile when requirements management and test management are key for your time-to-market?
- How can you still mitigate risks of project and product failure?
The key to success is having the right tools. We’ve put up a new web page that can help you find a solution to overcome your Agile challenges:

Feature in Focus: Test Steps
Polarion version SR1 was recently released with Test Steps for Polarion QA Test Cases. Now your testers can verify and record not only the overall passed-failed-blocked result of manually executed test cases, but also the result of each individual test step. When a test case fails execution, your development team can easily see exactly where the failure occurred.
Download our product trials or take an online test drive now to see SR1 in action:

What our Customers have to say
"We decided on Polarion Software’s Test Management solution for several reasons. The most important driver of our decision was the simple and very fast migration and project implementation plus the unique integration with MS Word and Excel. The continuous traceability, the response of the Polarion team to our use case scenarios, and the excellent price-performance of the solution have also been important."
Otto Opietnik, ITSV GmbH
