In the ever-evolving landscape of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), staying ahead of the curve is crucial for success in industries like manufacturing, automotive engineering, and software development. Enter Codebeamer 3.0, the latest release from PTC that promises to revolutionize how product managers and development teams approach their projects. This new version brings cutting-edge features to streamline workflows, enhance collaboration, and ensure seamless integration with existing systems. From its enhanced traceability capabilities to its intuitive user interface, Codebeamer 3.0 sets a new standard in ALM solutions.
The latest Codebeamer 3.0 release is designed to meet the evolving needs of the ALM landscape, providing users with powerful tools to tackle complex challenges efficiently.
New Features in PTC Codebeamer 3.0
Working Sets and Modernized Branching
Managing complexity is one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing software-supported products, especially across product variants. Traditional methods require teams to manually duplicate data and track changes across disparate spreadsheets. This error-prone method not only slows down development but can cause costly errors.
Codebeamer 3.0 introduces two new features to help overcome this hurdle:
- Scaled Working Sets: Working sets provide a single source of truth that includes all the requirements, test cases, risk analysis, and traceability. This bundled information keeps everything connected and trackable, making it easy to scale while also reducing rework.
- Modern Branching Method: Codebeamer 3.0 takes a new approach to managing data that removes duplication to optimize storage and improve performance. Instead of creating full copies of all the data, the latest PTC Codebeamer release intelligently tracks changes at the data level for efficient versioning. This allows multiple engineers (even thousands) to collaborate in real-time.
Scaled Working Sets and Modern Branching Methods reduce manual work, support product reuse, and streamline variant management.
Sustainability Templates
Codebeamer 3.0 now makes it even easier to build sustainability into your product development processes with tools to minimize environmental impacts, meet regulations, and reduce waste without impacting development processes. The new Sustainability Template provides guidance on:
- Sustainable design strategies
- Material selections
- Regulator considerations
This guidance helps reduce the need for physical prototypes, supporting sustainability initiatives while also reducing costs and speeding development. It also makes it easy to measure and track these initiatives with automatically generated reports.
Improved Quality and Compliance
The new release also includes enhanced features that significantly bolster quality assurance and compliance processes. Updated end-to-end traceability allows teams to track every requirement, change, and test, ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks, an essential feature for industries bound by stringent regulatory standards.
In addition, the built-in compliance tools simplify the process of meeting industry regulations. These tools offer predefined templates for various compliance needs, streamlining the documentation and audit processes so teams can focus more on innovation and less on bureaucratic hurdles.
Codebeamer AI Beta
Lastly, the latest Codebeamer 3.0 release lets you sign up for the AI early access program. Leverage generative AI to support software development for your physical products. The AI tools will help enhance efficiency, reduce development time, and future-proof your team. By upgrading to Codebeamer 3.0, you’ll be able to sign up, test the new tools, and provide ongoing feedback to our product management team on features and usability.
