Keystone, the Polarion toolset

Keep Every Polarion Project in Line with Its Template.

Keystone compares a project's configuration with its template or another project, shows every difference file by file, and updates only what you choose. Every update can be reverted.

Talk to us

Keystone comparing the project DRIVE-ASSIST with the Automotive ASPICE template. Four differing files are grouped as Enumerations and Workflows, each with Keep and Take, one with the note 37 live work items affected, and the XML difference of the Defect workflow below.

How It Works

Compare
Pick a project and what to compare it with: its template, another project or an earlier snapshot of itself. Comparing only reads.
Choose
Differences are listed file by file, in the same sections as Polarion Administration. Nothing changes unless you choose it.
Update
Keystone writes only what you chose, after a confirmation that states what it adds, changes and removes.
Revert
A restore point is captured before every update. One step takes the project back.

One run can check many projects against their reference and show how far each one has moved.

What It Covers

Work item types and fields, workflows, enumerations, link roles, saved queries, document types and LiveReport pages.

Keystone works on configuration only. It leaves work items untouched.

Safeguards

If someone changes the project after you compared, the update is refused and their change stays.
Each change goes through the Polarion API and is checked after it lands.
Sign-in uses a Polarion administrator access token, kept in memory for the session and never stored.
Every update is recorded with who made it and when.
Snapshots pin a project configuration at a point in time, to compare against later.
