codeBeamer 8.2.0

Review Hub for Simplified Approvals and Compliance Audits

codeBeamer ALM's latest release 8.2 brings a variety of improvements to the latest major version 8.1 released in March 2017. In addition to usability and performance updates to the Traceability Browser, the most important improvement is that of the Review Hub.

The Traceability Browser is now more robust: you can display descriptions for each work item, and filter for duplicate items to ensure a cleaner overview of work item trails. The Browser now also supports baselines and work item referencing.

Review Hub for Product Quality & Audit Support

Essentially, 8.2's updated Review Hub allows you to set up reviews (assign a list of items such as requirements, test cases, documentation, etc to chosen reviewers), and to carefully track the process of reviewing using real-time data. Better still, starting with 8.2, you can now automate the whole process by simply embedding the review in your workflow. Send automatic notifications to all reviewers, and trigger status transitions once the review process is done.

Rules may be simply applied to process of reviewing: you can require approval from all or some specific reviewers, or a certain number of positive reviews. Using the Review Hub, management sign-off via e-signatures can be made mandatory to complete the approvals process. You can even flexibly skip certain statuses so that you workflow progresses just the way your team(s) need it to. A full change history is offered on the whole process of reviewing, including comments. As the Review Hub provides full traceability, you can simply trace the implementation of reviewed work items through to testing with minimal effort.

Efficient real-time monitoring lets you review all changes as well as the impacts of these changes conveniently. Review statistics may be easily exported to Excel for insightful reporting to help management decision-making and to simplify compliance audits.
