Reports and results

Polarion documentation is covers all features of the Polarion platform. However, depending on your license, some of the features described may not be available to you when you log on. Documentation generally notes if some feature or information is restricted to one or more product licenses.

The following add-on licenses are also available:

  • Polarion Variants: This add-on provides a back-end server component which, when combined with capabilities built into some project templates, adds robust variant management capabilities to the above products.

  • Polaron IC Verification Assistant: Connects Polarion with Mentor Questa data to capture and trace test records, requirements and results for product validation.

    (An ALM license and an additional ICVA license are required.)

If no product icon appears for a topic, the content is applicable to all products. If a topic applies only to certain products, the icon(s) appear beneath the topic main heading.

Installation documentation

Polarion documentation, including PDF and HTML versions of the installation guides can be found in the Polarion section of SIEMENS' Doc Center.
