RM-Branching-merging-baselineing-optimized Requirements Management

Branching, merging, and
baselining

Easily branch new development streams off of the master development trunk. Compare, browse, and merge branches, with granular control over what is merged and what isn’t upon commit. Create immutable baselines of your development streams at milestones or versions. Build multiple product variations without driving up the costs of development.

Requirements export-import, integrations

Connect requirements data and processes across tools. Take advantage of codebeamer‘s open architecture to channel data from legacy systems to this modern, collaborative requirements platform. Use smart export-import options (ReqIF, MS Word and Excel round-trip), out-of-the box native integrations (IBM® Rational® DOORS®, Jira®, Enterprise Architect, MATLAB® Simulink®, etc), and REST or Swagger API for custom integrations. Connect codebeamer to dozens of other tools via integration-as-a-service platforms Tasktop Integration Hub and Agosense.

Use notifications, activity streams, commitment planning & tracking, and customizable views and reporting dashboards. Enforce approvals and the use of advanced workflows to stay in full control of all lifecycle processes.

Traceability, suspected links,
and test coverage

Conveniently reference and associate work items throughout the development stream. Use the traceability browser to analyze dependencies between all types of artifacts, even across projects. Get notified about suspected links automatically to control the impact of changes. Use the Test Coverage Browser to analyze the status and results of tests related to your requirements.
