Supplier traceability gaps
Requirements exchanged through documents can lose links to vehicle-level goals and safety concepts.
Industry Solution
Polarion ALM for Automotive Engineering
Achieve ISO 26262, ASPICE, and cybersecurity traceability across OEM, Tier-1, and supplier ecosystems with one controlled ALM backbone.
The Challenge
Functional safety across a multi-tier supply chain.
Vehicle platforms combine ECUs, embedded software, cybersecurity controls, model-based designs, and suppliers. Without a unified lifecycle, safety evidence fragments quickly.
ASPICE assessment overhead
Teams spend too much time collecting workflow, review, and test evidence from disconnected systems.
Variant explosion
Requirements and test cases multiply across model years, regional variants, and software configurations.
How Polarion Helps
From safety goal to verified evidence.
Polarion supports functional safety work with live links, workflows, baselines, and dashboards.
- HARA, safety goal, functional safety, and technical safety requirement traceability.
- ASPICE-aligned workflows for reviews, approvals, baselines, and objective evidence.
- ReqIF exchange for supplier collaboration without manual reconstruction.
- Integrations for model-based engineering, source control, CI/CD, and test automation.
- Variant-aware reporting so each vehicle configuration has correct compliance evidence.
