Integration & DevOps

codebeamer’s DOORS Bridge migration facility builds on our native integration with IBM® Rational® DOORS®, and enables data migration without quantity limitations. It lets you import and reimport requirements including baselines, discussions, history, link attributes, and the relations of artifacts. DOORS Bridge enables you to maintain DOORS as a project history archive while managing your requirements in codebeamer.

Our ALM platform handles the ReqIF (Requirements Interchange Format) file type to exchange data between codebeamer and other systems, for instance IBM® Rational® DOORS®. Items, relations and specifications may all be interchanged, and ReqIF data may be re-imported and re-exported.

YAKINDU Traceability is a traceability workbench that integrates work products from a variety of requirements authoring tools in order to maintain and evaluate bidirectional traceability across the entire toolchain. The codebeamer adapter can read all work items and links from codebeamer and integrate them into a global traceability model, making it easy to visualize and assess traceability links with third-party tools. In addition YAKINDU Traceability supports cross-tool navigation, making it easy and effective to follow traces to and from codebeamer.

codebeamer offers round-trip integration with MS Word. This feature lets you export requirements in MS Word documents, and edit them using MS Word, which makes collaboration with other teams and departments, as well as outside partners way easier. Then, you can simply reimport the document to see all the changes made “offline” – codebeamer is going to automatically notify you of all changes, which you can approve or reject one by one. Overall, this feature supports collaboration and helps ensure data consistency across organizational units.

Similar to MS Word, codebeamer’s MS Excel round-trip functionality allows you to simply export and collaborate on requirements or other work items using the MS Excel format. After reimporting the document, you will be automatically notified of all changes to the worksheet, and the system lets you approve or reject each modification individually. This feature facilitates collaboration across teams and departments, as well as with outside partners.

EnCo Software is a provider of tools for safety & security engineering tasks. EnCo’s SOX is a safety and security engineering workbench that can be easily tailored to specific needs.

Using EnCo’s bidirectional integration of work items with codebeamer, you can synchronize structural and data changes across these tools. The integration with SOX enables you to configure data transformation strategies and synchronization direction, and to test drive the integration before making it final.

Ansys medini analyze is a software tool that provides an integrated environment for implementing key safety analysis methods (like HAZOP, HARA, FHA, FTA, FME(C)A, FMEDA, etc.) required by safety standards like ISO 26262, IEC 61508, or ARP4761 in the Automotive, Aerospace and Defense, and Railway industries.

This bi-directional integration with codebeamer ensures that safety requirements become an integral part of the overall product specifications. Using this integration, information is consistently shared between safety and product engineering teams, helping them meet milestones and deadlines and increase product quality.

MS Teams is a widely used communication and collaboration platform. This teamwork hub covers instant messaging, video meetings, file storage, and application integration to streamline collaborative work.

Run codebeamer or codebeamer X securely on the Azure cloud! Azure is a computing service created by Microsoft to build, test, manage, and deploy applications and services. Azure is known for its security-oriented solutions.

Kubernetes, or K8s, is an open-source platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and operation of containerized applications. For DevOps teams requiring container management solutions, codebeamer offers integrations with both Docker and Kubernetes.

OpenShift is built around Docker containers orchestrated and managed by Kubernetes on a foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In addition to offering integrations with Docker and Kubernetes, codebeamer is able to run on an OpenShift environment. Its Docker image is prepared for running with a non-admin user and without waiting for the database to start up.

codebeamer’s Enterprise Architect Connector 2.0 (created by LieberLieber) allows you to exchange data between these two platforms. Import UML diagrams into your Application Lifecycle Management platform conveniently, and use UML models to guide your development lifecycle. Establish links between your work items to ensure complete end-to-end traceability from requirements and UML system architecture models all the way through to the testing and release of the final product. Set up the connection between EA and codebeamer to import-export data between the two platforms, ensuring data consistency.

For more information on how to use the codebeamer connector for Enterprise Architect, please visit the integration’s page on LieberLieber’s website.

codebeamer’s bidirectional JIRA® integration lets you seamlessly import data from your JIRA® projects to codebeamer or vice versa, thus providing data consistency and traceability throughout the lifecycle. An automatic sync rate can be set, letting codebeamer fetch data from JIRA® as often as every 2 minutes. Using codebeamer‘s JIRA® integration, complete traceability can be maintained even across tools, and communication gaps can be avoided between teams and departments.

VectorCAST is a highly automated unit and integration testing solution used by embedded developers to validate safety- and business-critical embedded systems. This dynamic testing solution is widely used in the avionics, medical device, automotive, industrial controls, railway, and financial industries.

Parasoft C/C++test is a fully integrated software testing solution that uses the most comprehensive set of testing techniques to validate and verify C/C++ code. Test by way of static analysis, runtime analysis, security testing, structural code coverage and unit testing on host and/or target hardware. Parasoft C/C++test is also TÜV SÜD-certified for use in safety-critical areas to achieve functional safety and compliance.

The integration offers a seamless import of codebeamer requirements and the realization of the test cases in Parasoft C/C++ to perform test execution. This solution closes the gap in requirements validation and verification by offering a workflow and bidirectional exchange of data that supports traceability between requirements, test cases, test results, and source code.

The LDRA tool suite is a set of software quality tools that help automate code analysis for safety-critical and secure-critical applications. It is used to automate unit and system-level testing, to produce software certification and approval evidence, to perform and report coverage analysis, and overall to help users assert compliance with quality-focused regulations.

Use this integration to link functions in the code to requirements, ensuring you have each requirement covered by code and each function justified by a requirement. Besides that, you can easily pull in Test Cases, execute them in the LDRA tool, and push back results to codebeamer. To learn more, watch our video about this integration.

The testing tool TPT, developed by PikeTec, is a versatile software testing tool for the automated testing of electronic control units (ECUs) and embedded systems throughout all development phases from simple unit or module tests to complex system tests. With TPT, you can conduct requirements-based testing in Model-in-Loop, Software-in-Loop, Processor-in-Loop and Hardware-in-Loop environments, as well as in automated driving tests. TPT integrates seamlessly into the software development cycle. This integration between codebeamer and TPT enables requirements and test case details to be linked directly between the tools. Import requirements and test cases into TPT and export test results to codebeamer.

codebeamer’s managed repository capabilities provide easy-to-use, unified, version control system-agnostic repository management. Project-, group- and role-based repository administration capabilities are provided across multiple repositories. The scope of control is definable from the repository level down to the directory level. The unified project/role/group based access is comparatively very efficient at organizing developers into teams, groups, projects and communities.
