About Project Baselines

Project Baselines capture and preserve the state of your project at some point in time. Baselines are typically created for major development milestones and for releases. It is possible to generate comparison reports that compare two baselines and report on the changes that took place between the earlier and the later baseline.

The Baselines topic appears in the Navigation pane when a project is open. (The topic is hidden when working in the Repository scope.) Browsing and reading Baselines with Polarion QA requires the presence of a license for Polarion ALM and/or Polarion Requirements on the server.

The Baseline Time Machine feature enables users using a supporting license to browse any baseline, just as if it were the current project state. All artifacts appear in the state they were when the baseline was created, and queries and reports retrieve only information from the baseline.
