Tensol vs Polarion

Keep the requirements system. Fix the evidence gap.

Keep Polarion as the governed home for requirements. Use Tensol to connect those requirements to the files, runs, rigs, and channels that prove them.

See it with your test data

Different systems of record for different facts.

Polarion owns the requirement. Tensol owns the evidence chain back from the bench. The integration preserves the process your team already trusts while making verification status measurable from the underlying data.

Requirements authoring and approval
Polarion ALMPrimary system of record
TensolImports the approved hierarchy and revision
Test evidence
Polarion ALMTracks test artifacts and status
TensolLinks each requirement to the exact run, file, and signal
Bench data
Polarion ALMConnected through team-specific workflows
TensolIngests .mf4, .tdms, ROS, ULog, CAN, and CSV directly
Verification coverage
Polarion ALMReported from linked work items and test records
TensolComputed from passing evidence at the required rig level
When a limit changes
Polarion ALMTraces affected lifecycle artifacts
TensolRe-scores prior runs, flags stale sign-offs, and queues re-runs

What Polarion ALM already does well

  • Requirements authoring, review, baselines, and workflow
  • Application lifecycle traceability and governance
  • Established processes for large engineering organizations

Do not migrate requirements to evaluate Tensol.

Bring one subsystem, its existing requirements, and a handful of representative runs. We will show the evidence chain and computed coverage without replacing Polarion ALM.
