Codebeamer：大规模简化复杂的产品和软件工程

ALM stands for Application Lifecycle Management. It is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of an application—from requirements and design through development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. ALM tools like Codebeamer provide a single platform to connect these phases, ensuring traceability, collaboration, and compliance across complex projects.

As an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution Codebeamer is used to manage the full application lifecycle of complex products. It helps engineering teams connect requirements, risks, tests, variants, and compliance artifacts into a single, traceable digital thread. Organizations use Codebeamer to enable systematic reuse across product lines, maintain always-on audit readiness, and manage change with clear impact analysis. By replacing manual, clone-and-own approaches with controlled workflows and live traceability, Codebeamer accelerates quality, reduces compliance effort, and gives teams confidence when developing software-defined, safety-critical products at scale.

Codebeamer is used by systems engineers, software and hardware engineers, test managers, quality managers, and compliance teams—especially in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics, and industrial equipment.

Codebeamer stands out by combining deep domain expertise for regulated development with robust configuration management, end-to-end traceability, and scalable product line engineering. Unlike generic ALM platforms, it is purpose-built for complex, safety-critical products—connecting requirements, risks, tests, and variants into a single digital thread. This approach accelerates quality, reduces compliance effort, and enables systematic reuse across product lines. Codebeamer also supports hardware and software development in one environment and offers AI-driven capabilities for smarter requirements and testing. Learn why PTC leads ALM.
