Tiivistelmä
The thesis is done for Wärtsilä Finland Oy, Marine Solutions, Engine Performance and Control department. At the moment, the department is using Mantis as bug tracking tool and planning to migrate to Polarion ALM for the completeness of application lifecycle management. Different approaches are analyzed and a deci-sion is made by the project team and the department’s management team before an actual implementation can be done.
Defects management contributes a significant part throughout the lifecycle of any product. It is an important part of the ALM chain, from requirement down to source and without traceability of defect, a broken chain cannot optimize its strengths and opportunities. The proper configuration can reduce the occurrence and consequences of a nonconformity and even the cost in product development by prevention at the beginning. The management system is supposed to be contin-uously improved from time to time with the involvement of maturity and capabil-ity level of an organization
The thesis covers requirement development for the defects management system, analysis of the current system, approaches to having defects in Polarion ALM and the implementation of system. Due to the huge impacts on the current way of working, the major part of the thesis focuses on the pre-study phase which results in the selected direction of the department.
