codeBeamer ALM a powerful tool

Basically, unites the whole process of software development, from conception of the idea to realization, to QA, to release, to bug fixing, etc.

PROS

codeBeamer ALM is extremely customisable; it covers all aspects of ALM; requirements, software architecture, computer programming, software testing, software maintenance, changes, continuous integration, project management, and release management; allows multiple teams, geographically dislocated, to seemingly work on the same project; tracks every single activity in the process; has a good potential for writing good Wiki pages; has placeholder for technical documentation; practically every tracker type item has comments, attachment, description, etc.; well established links between trackers, downstream references; customisable automation, say you can generate downstream task when system requirements change to a state; completely configurable state diagrams, etc.; excellent testing framework, test cases, test sets, test runs, etc.

CONS

As with every system, the value of it depends on how much you put into it; but IMHO codeBeamer ALM has a very high potential to give you exactly what you need from an ALM tool; say there is integration with SVN, etc.; there is a danger of overcomplicating, but that is the price of very flexible customisation; if you design your process well, you should be OK, etc.

We invested significant effort to configure codeBeamer and realized significant benefit in return!

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

Using of codeBeamer ALM

We are working with codeBeamer to fullfill the requirements from Automotive Spice and for this usecase the tool is very good for. Also we are working for medical products and with codeBeamer it is very simple to change the workflows from automotive projects to medical projects.

PROS

The easy way to create a traceability from the requirements to the tests.

CONS

The user management is not so easy to handle with

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.

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.

Great ALM solution for managing large number of projects

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

CodeBeamer is the worst software tool ever created.

Flat out terrible. Worst software tool I have ever experienced. JUNK!!!!

PROS

Absolutely Nothing.

CONS

The instructional videos look nothing like the actual tool. The instructional videos and the help feature for CodeBeamer are worthless. Just garbage. I can't follow any of the instructions.

Reason for choosing codebeamer

Not sure. The decision was made before I starting working here.

codeBeamer is very good to use it for handling/tracking requirments and to create specifications.

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.

Very good ALM tool with best features of many other tools.

PROS

* adaptability * large scale of functionality (from requirements to implementation, to testing, releasemanagement and Support) * very good documentation about codebeamer * webinars from intlant * full-text search

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)

Good for the whole software development lifecycle with documentation

Overall I liked the product very much and it did grow very good in regards to modern UI over the time I used it. In regards of feature richness it had been very mature already when I started using it.

PROS

Highliy flexible and customizable. You can define your own processes and lifecycles and have a huge Roles & Permissions system where you can configure anything you can think of (even better than in Jira). Also you can document everything in the integrated

CONS

At least back in 2006-2012 (when I used it) the prices were made for bigger companies only (100+ employees) as the cheapest price was still very high.

Good usedfull tool to manage a complete product development.

PROS

This software offers a lot of functions which we use for product development. I use it for development of automotive products. Due to the huge amount of options it is easy to customize the software for your needs.

CONS

Sometimes it is not easy to find all options in the software. The menu can be interleaved so you need some time to find the option.

Complete documentation of all artefacts along the software development process, flexible workflows, full traceability, all stakeholders in the process working in the same integrated environment

PROS

very powerful, with a multitude of functionality, not only to tracker the artefacts along the software development process, but also to collect all other types of documents, manage teams, great reporting, basically any object can be described and traced in this tool.

CONS

In some parts the usability is difficult, especially for non-IT people, who are coming from a document-oriented way of working.

The codeBeamer is a great ALM tool, which difficulty lies in the first steps, a proper project setup

PROS

It's a browser based tool and for almost every funktion a GUI or WYSIWYG is available. It includes all necessary parts for complex development project; therefore you can avoid a tool break between a classic requirement management tool such as DOORS and a test management tool. This is one advantage use codeBeamer compared to other tools on the market.

CONS

The complexity you're faced with during the first setup of a complex project. The user interface itself is easy to handle, but the working process behind the UI is not self explained. Dashboards, Reports and Trackers are loaded every time they are opened. For elements with big data this lasts quite some time. Therefore it is not helpful for newcomers to codeBeamer that the customer support only works with a ticket system. It would be appreciated also to provide a german speaking customer support.

Powerful and Extendible, but needs configuration

We're using codebeamer to support the requirement management, risk management, and software development processes for medical device development. We also run Scrum in codebemaer.

PROS

Codebeamer is very powerful, because it's very flexible.

CONS

With great flexibility come a great many settings. Some of those (such as role permissions) are very tedious (and error-prone) to set up. A few buttons with macros, or a text-based interface would have been nice. Also, automation across trackers (say, tasks in user stories) can be tricky/not satisfactory.

Codebeamer offers a creative and thorough environment for us to creat and manage projects and tasks.

The ability to collaborate with my team and others, working towards the completion of tasks and projects of all sizes.

PROS

I very much appreciate the flexibility of the Codebeamer structure. The option to group items by project or by type figures greatly into our staff's needs. The ability to sort by type of item (and task) allows our team to save time and increase productivity.

CONS

I have utilized Codebeamer for several years and have yet to stumble on a hurdle or work-staller. I think it works great - as designed.

Useful tool with week spots

PROS

Good for requirement management. Integration with OFFICE, DOORS and JIRA helps a lot. Integration with GIT. Great review hub functionality. Very flexible and configurable. Stable with new featuers comming fast. Good support from Intland. Documentation available and helpful.

CONS

User interface far from good - partially confusing, partially just ugly.

Reason for choosing codebeamer

Price (you get a lot of functionality for your money).

Reasons for switching to codebeamer

DOORS has just a fraction of the functionality of codeBeamer and codeBeamer provides definitely better requirement management handling than DOORS.

The configurability of this software is outstanding. For each item, you can vary the content, the workflow and the access by status, user and role to the content. We have been able to make the tools conform to our process rather than conform our process to the tool.

CONS

The various licenses control a bewildering number of grants and denials of capabilities. Some things are a great surprise.
