Automated GUI Testing for Polarion ALM

Ensuring the reliability and efficiency of your Polarion ALM environment is essential, especially when managing complex templates, workflows, and reports. Manual testing is time-consuming and error-prone — that’s where Automated GUI Testing makes the difference.

This solution enables early detection of UI issues, ensuring smoother Polarion upgrades and a consistent user experience across industries like aerospace, defense, and medical. Automation helps you maintain compliance, reduce costs, and free up your team to focus on innovation.

Everything You Need to Accelerate Innovation

• Eliminate Manual Effort – Automate repetitive tasks and redirect resources to more valuable work
• Enhance Accuracy – Detect UI inconsistencies before they affect your processes
• Speed Up Updates – Validate changes in workflows, templates, and configurations quickly
• Ensure Compliance – Maintain audit-readiness through consistent, repeatable tests

By integrating automated testing into your Polarion ALM, you gain faster deployments, fewer regressions, and a more agile team environment.

Core Pillars of Automated GUI Testing in Polarion ALM

• Reliability & Compliance – Ensure Polarion configurations meet regulatory standards across industries
• Efficiency & Speed – Shorten validation cycles and streamline feature rollouts
• Consistency & Accuracy – Eliminate human error and ensure stability across Polarion versions

How It Works: Define. Script. Run. Repeat.

Step #1: Define Test Cases in Polarion ALM

• Create Test Case work items
• Define detailed test steps
• Add screenshots and expected results

Step #2: Write Test Scripts in the Framework

• Use a compatible framework for GUI automation
• Identify GUI elements using HTML IDs
• Validate field values and UI behavior

Step #3: Execute Automated GUI Tests

• Headless Mode: Runs tests silently, without browser UI
• Headed Mode: Visible browser execution for interactive observation
• Test scripts use HTML element IDs to perform actions and checks

Step #4: Import Test Results into Polarion

• Test results are stored in Test Runs
• Failed results can trigger automatic Defect creation
• Ensure traceability between results, defects, and requirements
