Codebeamer: Simplify Complex Product and Software Engineering at Scale
Codebeamer is an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) platform that helps teams manage advanced product and software development. Its open architecture combines flexible process configuration with product line capabilities, giving organizations the traceability and control needed to manage growing product complexity.
Explore the Benefits of Codebeamer
Codebeamer connects people, processes, and product information across the software development lifecycle. Engineering teams can replace disconnected tools with controlled digital workflows that improve collaboration, maintain end-to-end traceability, and support regulatory compliance.
With requirements, risk, and test management in one platform, Codebeamer gives teams greater visibility from initial requirements through testing and release.
Seamless Integration
Connect Codebeamer with the tools your teams already use, including Windchill, Jira, Git, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, IBM Rhapsody, and other engineering systems. Standards-based integrations help information move across the development lifecycle without relying on manual updates.
Modern, Integrated, and Connected
Bring requirements, testing, risk management, and development workflows into one browser-based ALM platform. Teams gain a consistent view of lifecycle information while reducing the silos that slow product development.
.
Agile Development
Plan, track, and manage development using Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid methods. Backlogs, Kanban boards, release planning, and workflow controls help teams coordinate work while maintaining the governance required for complex products.
End-to-End Traceability
Connect requirements, risks, changes, tests, and releases within one traceable digital thread. Codebeamer provides visibility into how decisions and changes affect downstream work, helping teams improve quality and prepare for audits.
Out-of-the-box Templates
Start with predefined templates for regulated industries, including automotive, medical device, and aerospace and defense. Teams can configure these templates around their processes while maintaining traceability and audit-ready documentation.
Speed and Predictability
Reuse requirements, tests, workflows, and other engineering assets across product families. Configuration management, streams, baselines, and controlled variation help teams manage multiple product variants without duplicating work.
Requirements Management
Create, organize, review, and trace requirements throughout the product lifecycle. Codebeamer connects requirements to risks, tests, changes, and releases, giving teams a clear view of coverage and downstream impact.
Software Development
Connect software development with the broader engineering lifecycle. Codebeamer provides traceability from requirements through code, testing, and release while helping hardware, software, and systems teams work from shared information.
Test Management
Plan testing, manage test cases, track execution, and evaluate coverage from one platform. Direct connections between requirements and test results make it easier to identify gaps and demonstrate verification.
