Once you start using codeBeamer you can't be without it

all in all, it is a system which contains all of you documentation, design, requirements, development tracking, testing tracking, release tracking, and in fact all of your activity, whatever it may be; all recorded permanently forever, even if you delete something you can trace who deleted it, when, etc.

Pros:

I like the flexibility, i.e., that it is completely configurable to suit your particular workflow; also like constant tracking, i.e., I like ability to see what a release consists of and if it is fully covered by testing, as well as every test run which has made the release to pas QA; I like attention to details when it comes to covering testing a QA plans, there are Test Cases, Test Sets, Test Runs, etc., I like abilities to track Bugs, also ability to have Change Request, etc.; I also like ability to assess and track Risks; I like that you access codeBeamer via web interface so working together with a team distributed around the globe is not an issue at all; I like the ability to link codeBeamer with Apache Subversion or Git, etc.; you can have repository for the documents; there is a Review Hub; there are various, customisable, Reports, which can help you get out info you would need

Cons:

may be configure wrongly, i.e., that you make a mistake in your workflow, but that is your own responsibility

Pros:

The generic approach which more or less allows to define any object or artefact needed along the software development lifecycle in the tool

Cons:

It is a very good tool for IT minded users, but other users may struggle with the usability and the complexity

Pros:

Very flexible and powerful platform that can be adapted in a variety of ways to align to your process and practices for managing your application lifecycle. Expect to invest time and effort to configure the platform to meet your needs and expect significant return on your investment. Over a 6 month window we rolled out codeBeamer capabilities for: 1) Requirements Management 2) Risk Management 3) Architecture and Design Management 4) Test Management 5) Defect Management 6) Scrum Team Rituals (Sprints, Stories, Tasks, ...) codeBeamer is now our single digital system of record for the full Application Lifecycle.

Cons:

It can be challenging to debug why a user is unable to execute a task given the intersection of 1) license constraints 2) project permissions 3) tracker permissions 4) field permissions

codeBeamer keeps one's promise other ALM's don't even dare to give

Before I joined the codeBeamer world, I worked with other ALM tools. It was really a hard time, lots of things didn't come together or were poor in performance. I remember my first steps in codeBeamer. It was like an epiphany - suddenly everything makes sense and it's really that easy to accomplish. Actually the tool supports you in collaboration and structured workflow.

Functionality

Pros:

Simply: it works! Seriously. I worked with other ALM tools. Either the tools didn't cover (understand) the ALM universe, or the tools were glued together resulting in diminished functionality or even failure. Supected links. Traceability browser. Test coverage. Those tools work perfectly in codeBeamer.

Cons:

Sometimes it's difficult to handle WYSIWYG. Implementation is done with a third party tool (Froala) and codeBeamer is bound to its limitations and drawbacks. Usually I get my ideas realized within the HTML editor, but sometimes you have to struggle a little.

Pros:

Good agile development features including Kanban board and Scrum process artefacts Easy management of integrated SCM repositories (Git, SVN) Good handling of project templates to specify and provide organisation specific development process templates REST API for a flexible integration of CodeBeamer with other tools Improved dashboard functionalities for project and user dashboards

Cons:

It would be great to get more out-of-the-box integrations with other popular parts of a development toolchain like: Slack, IntelliJ

Pros:

Tracking the requirements Tracability between requirements Create and use the libraries Baslining of the specifications Ajust the workflows of each Tracker/department Release management SW-test reuse Change management for the requirements/test

Cons:

There are tree ways to create the authorization/user-management and this is sometimes difficult because of the roles for each project. If in our template project is create a new role we have to make the input in each prject manually.

Cons:

* too many posibilities for filtering or reporting of issues with too different features (the one you use allways needs a feature of another search functionality) * too less posibilities for dashboards (maybe changes with 8.1) * project management (ok its not the focus of this tool, but it would be nice)
