Perforce Software and Polarion Software today announced the integration of Perforce’s version management solution, P4D, into Polarion® ALM™, the unified, 100 percent browser-based Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) offering from Polarion.

This integration extends Perforce’s unique federated architecture across each stage of the software development lifecycle, enabling better collaboration, access control, traceability, compliance and scalability for distributed development teams. Benefits include:

Improved Security: Companies using Polarion and Perforce can expect the industry’s strongest traceability features supporting compliance with a wide range of industry standards, such as ISO 26262/IEC 61508, CMMI, SOX, FDA, SPICE and more. Perforce’s indelible history of every edit and version of an asset adds superior, built-in global IP protection across the lifecycle.
Real-time Collaboration: Polarion’s industry-first, multi-directionally linked workflows, combined with Perforce’s 3-way file merge feature, enable individual contributors to easily work in parallel on any asset or codeline. Changes are automatically merged and synced across the entire ALM pipeline without the need for manual conflict resolution.
Global Capabilities: Perforce’s federated architecture extends the benefits of P4D and Polarion ALM to distributed teams. Using Perforce federated capabilities, globally dispersed teams can reduce workflow latency with LAN-speed access to enterprise assets stored securely in a fully-functional local repository.
Automation Improvements: Perforce supports highly automated development practices like Continuous Delivery by giving teams a single source of truth for all their source code, art files, build artifacts, documents and other assets. Having a unified repository enables automation at every step of the development lifecycle by allowing file changes to be immediately integrated, tested and corrected, at scale, without introducing additional manual processes.
According to Gartner, "Modern AD projects are characterised by evolving requirements, geographically distributed teams, constant stakeholder engagement and continuous delivery, bounded by tighter budgets, intense competition and increased regulatory requirements. The success of this model relies heavily on process automation and team collaboration, resulting in user demands, including: traceability and reporting for compliance; support for collaboration across roles brought on by the adoption of agile practices or distributed teams and the ability to deal with complex requirements and varying complexity."[1]
