Requirements Capture

Live, structured requirements management that keeps your project controlled, traceable and aligned from concept to handover. Full lifecycle requirements capture in Polarion End-to-end traceability across design, test and change Reduced rework, scope creep and late-stage surprises

Overview

Complex automation and mission-critical systems need more than documents and spreadsheets. Applied Integration uses Polarion to create a single, controlled source of truth for requirements, traceability and change. Every requirement is captured, structured, linked and verified in one place — giving you clarity, compliance and confidence throughout the lifecycle.

What this means for you:

  • One authoritative requirements set, not conflicting documents
  • Visible links between requirements, design, test cases and results
  • Controlled, auditable change processes
  • Stronger evidence for safety, regulatory and customer assurance

What We Do in Polarion

Polarion Setup & Configuration

  • Project structures aligned to your lifecycle (V-model, stage-gates, assurance needs)
  • Work item types for requirements, tests, defects, risks and changes
  • Defined traceability rules and reporting templates
  • Customised dashboards and documents aligned to your standards

Requirements Elicitation

  • Workshops and interviews across operations, engineering, safety, cyber and management
  • Capture directly into Polarion as structured, testable requirements
  • Classification for functional, performance, safety, security and regulatory needs
  • Supporting diagrams, specs and artefacts linked to items

Structuring, Linking & Traceability

  • Logical hierarchies for systems, subsystems, software and interfaces
  • Links to hazards, mitigations, design elements and test plans
  • Real-time tracking of coverage, completeness and impact
  • Automated traceability matrices and V-model alignment

Review, Baseline & Change Control

  • Online collaborative reviews with full audit history
  • Requirements baselined at key milestones
  • Controlled change management with impact analysis
  • Auto-generated review packs, baselines and compliance reports

Integration with Design & Test

  • Links between requirements, design documentation and code modules
  • Test cases and results tied directly to requirements they verify
  • Defect management linked to original requirement intent
  • Evidence packs for FAT/SAT, safety cases and acceptance

Where It’s Used

  • Defence & mission-critical systems requiring strict traceability
  • Large multi-vendor automation projects with complex interfaces
  • Regulated sectors (utilities, process, energy) with formal assurance expectations
  • Digitalisation & Industry 4.0 programmes where scope changes over time
