1.1Merge requests across trackers for advanced approvals processes

Since 9.0, codeBeamer ALM lets you create branches for product variants or other development streams that your team members or suppliers can contribute to. Version 9.1 introduces merge requests, which work very much like pull requests in GitHub. Merge requests provide way to granularly review all changes on a branch before propagating them to the main development trunk.

Upon requesting a merge of these branches, you will be able to easily review all the changes before accepting or rejecting them. This greatly facilitates the approvals process, enabling a fully controlled, transparent, and efficient way of collaboration and review.

1.2ChatOps: Complete transparency without hundreds of notification emails

When it comes to software development, keeping all stakeholders in the loop is vital. Some software vendors see notification emails as the pinnacle of transparency. But who’s going to read all those emails cluttering your inbox, especially with the clunky search and filtering you’ll find in your mail platform?

You want your notifications where you can really see them. Increase transparency across the organization, and slash the number of notification emails using codeBeamer’s integration with Slack (Mattermost integration in the pipeline). These chat platforms transform the way you communicate and collaborate and can save you precious development time. With notifications in your chat window you can enjoy an uncluttered inbox, and real-time notifications right where you need them.

1.3Full DOORS Replacement via DOORS Bridge

Users stuck with a legacy IBM Rational DOORS system will highly value this new set of features. With an updated DOORS Bridge and a DOORS-like document view, codeBeamer ALM 9.1 serves as a great replacement for this outdated legacy toolset.

With DOORS Bridge, the best migration/integration interface on the market, you can support users working with DOORS while transitioning to a modern ALM platform. It offers better-than-DOORS importing of OLE objects and requirements with RTF tables, history, discussions, baselines, and baseline sets. The new UI supports a DOORS-compatible document edit mode with mass editing. Together, they enable you to replace your old development platform with a modern, streamlined, and efficient solution while supporting the parallel use of DOORS and codeBeamer without limitations.

1.4Backlog prioritization with the all-new Agile Release Planner

Backlogs are populated by hundreds or even thousands of requirements. Keeping them in good order to align everyone’s understanding of what’s important and what’s not in a product can feel like an uphill struggle.

codeBeamer’s new Agile Release Planner lets you rank and prioritize backlog items even before you add them to sprints, taking into account all their preferences. The new planner greatly supports value delivery with Agile methods, and is a powerful tool that helps you implement true Value Stream Management across your lifecycle.

1.5New document edit with easy-to-use mass editing

codeBeamer’s version 9.1 features a new document editing feature that is more familiar for DOORS users (the old document view is still available). This new doc edit feature supports mass editing and the setting of parameters, and lets you simply drag and drop columns as you like. Have a setup you think is efficient? Save it and share it with your team.
