Sync intervals can be as frequent as every 2 minutes, ensuring timely updates and better collaboration between teams.
CI/CD
Codebeamer ALM integrates with continuous integration and delivery tools to connect build, test, and deployment pipelines directly with your application lifecycle management processes. These integrations automate workflows, propagate build results, and trigger jobs based on ALM events, ensuring fast feedback, traceability, and improved collaboration between development and operations teams.
Jenkins
Codebeamer’s Jenkins plugin allows communication between Jenkins and Codebeamer servers. Jenkins build results can be propagated back to Codebeamer, and jobs can be triggered as workflow actions in ALM processes. This integration ensures that CI/CD activities remain synchronized with requirements, tests, and releases, improving visibility and process automation.
Test management
Codebeamer ALM supports comprehensive test management by integrating with industry-leading testing tools. These integrations connect requirements to test cases and execution results, enable bidirectional data exchange, and maintain traceability to ensure compliance, quality, and efficient defect resolution.
