UPPS! Extensions
- The name UPPS! stands as an acronym for the cognitive chain Use Case → Problems → Solution!
- Each UPPS! Extension refers to a use case of Polarion ALM usage and related handling bottlenecks, and it offers as a solution simplifications and enhancements of the user interface as well as data, time series and link analyses directly in the LiveDoc Editor.
- UPPS! Extensions are plugins on Polarion instances whose services are available without further action in all Polarion projects of the respective instance and without touching any repository content, i.e. without endangering user data.
