computer software company focused on providingApplication Lifecycle Management (ALM) software tools and systems based on Subversion. In addition, the company offers training and consulting services for Subversion users and adopters.Approach to Application Lifecycle Tools
Polarion Software's technical approach to ALM tools involves the delivery of proprietary functionality integrated around
open source frameworks and systems. [Magic Quadrant for Software Change and Configuration Management for Distributed Platforms, 2008, by Jim Duggan and Daniel B. Stang, January 2008 p. 7] The company cites Subversion, Eclipse, andApache HTTP Server as examples of open source systems used as architectural components of its ALM-related products.The company's stated conceptual approach involves the deep integration of tools covering major aspects of the into a single "platform" architecture, [http://webdev.labs.polarion.com/polarion.com/products/index.php] as opposed to integrations, or simply non-integrated use, of single-aspect tools which characterized the
software industry 's first approaches to application lifecycle management tools. [The Changing Face of Application Lifecycle Management by Carey Schwaber, Forrester Research, Inc. August 2006. [http://www.forrester.com/Research/Document/Excerpt/0,7211,37653,00.html] ] .Open Source Involvement
Polarion Software also develops or sponsors development of several open source software tools for users of Subversion and Eclipse. Perhaps the most notable example is [http://www.eclipse.org/subversive Subversive Team Provider for Eclipse] which became an Official Eclipse Project in November, 2007. [Subversive Team Provider overview - [http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/index.php] ] . In addition to software, the company has also open-sourced a training curriculum for Subversion.
