Overview codebeamer s Requirements (RM) functionality helps you manage the entire requirements lifecycle from definition all the way through to testing and release. codebeamer RM is tightly integrated into the ALM solution: requirements can be associated with source code, tasks, bugs, issues, tests, releases and all other artifacts, providing end-to-end traceability. codebeamer is a fully web-based collaborative platform that enables you to share, re-use and manage requirements in collaboration with all users. Through its tight Microsoft Office integration (MS Word Round-trip and Excel export/import functionality), document management, wikis, and comments, codebeamer enhances collaboration, while the requirements libraries let you re-use requirements from similar projects, supporting variant management. The Requirements feature set in codebeamer can be used as a standalone system, or as part of a complete ALM solution that also supports Demand, Software Development, QA & Testing, and DevOps. Not only is codebeamer a completely customizable tool with advanced features, it also provides integration with external systems via REST API, and offers the possibility to import data via its JIRA sync feature, as well as CSV files, ReqIF, RIF, UML diagrams with Enterprise Architect, and IBM DOORS.
Main Features Requirements Libraries and Re-use codebeamer s Requirements Re-use feature allows you to save requirements into libraries, then re-use entire folders or individual requirements in further projects. Changes and modifications are carefully tracked, and change alerts help you keep your requirements libraries up to date. The same feature is available for test cases, steps and test sets, and these can also be derived from requirements. Re-usable requirements and test cases support product variant management, saving you a great deal of time and effort. Exporting and Importing Requirements to and from MS Word and Excel Tight integration with Microsoft Office (Word and Excel) enables simple data exchange among stakeholders and various tools and platforms. codebeamer handles hierarchies in documents, manages changes in the requirements (letting you accept or reject each change), and even allows you to use your own corporate templates when exporting documents.

Table, Document and Item Views Differentiated by their level of detail, codebeamer offers three views to help you conveniently manage requirements: The Table View is basically a simple list of all the defined requirements that lets you overview various details of your requirements. Since this view is fully customizable, you can tailor the Table View to your needs, displaying any information (columns) about the requirements you deem necessary. The Document View is practically a WYSIWYG editor that facilitates the authoring of requirements. Using this view, requirements can be edited, attachments (images, screenshots, diagrams) and comments added, properties adjusted, and associations can be set. What s more, the Requirement Review features allows you to rate and prioritize requirements. Through the tree view, the Document View also lets you simply organize the requirement hierarchy by creating, editing, deleting and moving the tree nodes. The Item View is what you ll see when adding a new item or editing existing items. It lets you overview and edit all the details of a requirement: description, customized fields, status, comments & attachments, associations, and history are all available and editable on a single screen using the item view. Baselines (Versioning) Baselining allows you to capture the current state of your projects, saving a static snapshot of all your artifacts in a project at a specific point in time. Baselines contain all the items (artifacts), their relations, all comments, documents, and the history of all of these items, and can be reviewed, browser and compared to other baselines at any point in time. Locking baselines using electronic signatures helps enforce transparency. Item View with all properties Customizable Table View Document View with properties and requirement tree structure
Traceability Browser codebeamer s advanced Traceability Browser lets you identify the dependencies (associations and relations) between all artifacts such as requirements, user stories, bugs, change requests, risks, test cases, etc. Thanks to its simple dragand-drop interface, the Traceability Browser is an easy to use way of visualizing the relationships between requirements and other artifacts even across projects. Test Coverage Browser The Coverage Browser offers an overview of requirements test case coverage, and provides a simple way to analyze the status and results of tests related to your requirements. Test coverage may be filtered by trackers, releases, and configurations. Suspected Links The Suspected Links feature automatically indicates changes on requirements that may affect other artifacts. Changes can then be reviewed and either rejected or applied conveniently, with just a few clicks. Traceability Browser to show relationships between all artifacts
Advanced Collaboration Features Various features ensure efficient collaboration, such as a general dashboard, customizable subscriptions (followed items), e-mail notifications, activity streams, RSS feeds, commitment planner & tracker through customizable views, comments, and advanced workflows to mention just a few. codebeamer s collaborative features help you stay in control of all development processes, and make sure that you ll never miss any relevant updates. Process Enforcement Process Enforcement between requirements, tasks, test cases, and other artifacts helps you maintain project quality and stay on schedule. Through advanced workflows, you can restrict further steps in the design, planning and development phases until certain requirements have reached the appropriate status. Requirement Workflows Release : Agile Planning Board codebeamer s Agile Planning Board enables you to plan your releases (milestones, versions) in a convenient way, to add requirements to sprints using a simple drag-and-drop interface, and to monitor the progress of your processes to ensure deadlines are met. Integrated Test Through its integrated QA & Test feature set, codebeamer helps you define test cases, compose test sets, and to execute tests on multiple hardware and software configurations. To facilitate variant management, tests may be saved to libraries and re-used any time. By associating tests with requirements and releases, codebeamer ensures full traceability, and it also enables test result data mining via coverage analysis and customizable dashboards. codebeamer s QA & Testing also offers easy integration of automatic testing tools. Advanced workflows allow you to customize your processes by configuring your own requirement workflows and to add guards, ensuring that only authorized personnel can change or add requirements, and that those requirements are implemented and tested adequately.
