Accelerated Compliance Audits using the Audit Trail

codeBeamer 9.0’s Audit Trail functionality simplifies compliance audits. Cut product verification time and costs. Let your ALM tool automatically record the lifecycle-wide audit trail, and access or export a comprehensive report with just a few clicks.

The all-new Audit Trail feature set enables you to easily draw all lifecycle data from codeBeamer’s central repository. Use the Audit Trail dashboard as a continuously updated wiki widget, or export a comprehensive report with all changes to your trackers, fields, workflows and transition diagrams, and an overview of current permissions.

Conversation-driven Development with ChatOps (Beta)

Take enterprise collaboration to a whole new level. Put your chat conversations to work with codeBeamer 9.0’s ChatOps functionality. Access lifecycle data, and execute actions in your ALM or other development tools right from the chat window. Welcome to the era of conversation-driven development with ChatOps.

Based on integrations with a chat platform (Slack), codeBeamer’s ChatOps feature brings the power of ALM right to your chat window. ChatOps moves system operations into a group of chat channels, enabling customers and developers to collaborate on requirements and tests, and to deploy software from a single unified command line. ChatOps can increase efficiency, allows more transparent work, and is extremely useful for distributed software development teams.

Use bots in your conversations to automate tasks, and manage ALM artifacts with simple chat commands. Attach entire discussions to work items. Add comments, attachments, or trigger state transitions of ALM items without leaving the chat window. Accelerate enterprise teamwork with mobile-ready ChatOps functionality any time, anywhere, on any device.
