Codebeamer
What it is
Codebeamer is an application lifecycle management platform for collaborative development, product-line configuration, testing, and regulatory compliance. It manages requirements, epics, and user stories across the software engineering lifecycle, with traceability connecting requirements through testing and release in a centralized work-item repository. Product-variant capabilities help teams handle different markets, while configurable processes and digital workflows organize development work. Risk-management tools support analysis and documentation of development risks, and test and quality management are included. Agile planning provides a planner, Kanban, backlog, and release system; the platform can orchestrate CI/CD pipelines such as Jenkins and Azure Pipelines. Integrations include IBM DOORS, Microsoft Office, Jira, Git, Windchill, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, SubVersion, and Perforce. REST and Swagger APIs support custom automation. Codebeamer runs on premises or in PTC’s hosted Codebeamer+ environment, with role- and usage-based licensing and pricing on request.
