Test Management and Project Templates

Polarion products with quality assurance (QA) and testing support provide one or more project templates that provide support for creating, managing, and executing test cases. The project templates are preconfigured to provide Work Item types, link roles, and workflows that support QA and testing. Some project templates may also provide support for defining and managing requirements so that these requirements may be easily linked to the test cases that verify them.

This section introduces the standard project templates that include QA and testing support. For a complete listing of project templates with more detailed description, see Default Project Templates.

V-Model Project

(Concept, Requirements, Design, Risks, Planning, Development, Testing, Maintenance, Builds)

ALM

A V-Model (Waterfall) based Project template that supports the full application lifecycle. It provides all that's needed to determine and define requirements, design then assess the risks, plan the development, monitor the development process, test the results and maintain your product.

It has a standard Java project structure that supports the automated build process managed by Maven-2.

V-Model Project QA

(Concept, Requirements, Design, Risks, Development, Testing, Maintenance, Builds)

ALM, QA

A V-Model (Waterfall) based Project template that includes Requirements Specifications and their formal approval along with Risk and Test management. You can start by filling in the Requirement Specification documents, and then target requirements for release and analyze potential risks by using the FMEA Worksheet templates. Then it's time to manage test execution. (Both manual and automated are supported.)

It has a standard Java project structure that supports the automated build process managed by Maven-2.

V-Model Project REQ

(Concept, Requirements, Design, Risks, Maintenance)

ALM, REQ

A V-Model (Waterfall) based Project template that supports Requirement and Test Specification documents. Start by filling in Requirement Specification documents. Then refine them in Test Case Specification documents, and specify the validation and verification procedures using the Validation and Verification Plans.

Specification Project with Variant Management

(Requirements, Testing, Variants, Features)

ALM, QA, REQ

A V-Model (Waterfall) based Software Engineering Project configured for Feature, Requirements, and Test Specifications that includes Variant Management with a Propagation option. (If the Propagation option is enabled, the selection of Variant Work Items is determined by the relations to their parents and the restrictions of these parents.)
