What’s new for Polarion X for Automotive 2404

The demand for solutions for automotive functional safety and cybersecurity remains very high – especially as the complexity of systems continues to increase.
Vehicle users expect even better integration of a wide range of services. More and more assistance systems are penetrating vehicles, increasing both occupant safety and comfort, but also placing more demands on the systems for integration.

User guidance and the interaction of system components require a high level of software solutions. And this is where regulations such as UN R155 (Cybersecurity Management) or R156 (Software Update Management) and the cybersecurity (ISO 21434) and functional safety (ISO 26262) standards come into play.

The updated Polarion X for Automotive 2404 release provides several enhancements in the usability like alignment of Functional Safety and Cybersecurity User Interface and updates towards Web Content Accessbility Guidelines (WCAG) compatibility as well as inline editing capabilities. Furthermore we added enhanced support for the Risk Treatment decisions and Cybersecurity Goals.

Functional Safety

Based on ISO 26262 allowing the management of functional safety artifacts, like your Hazards, Safety Goals, Functional Safety Concepts and more.
It allows you to complete your Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessments (HARA) and your Failure Modes and Effect Analyses (FMEA) directly in Polarion X.
