PTC codebeamer Integration with Azure DevOps

Software developers in mission-critical domains like automotive, medical device, pharma, aviation etc., need to comply with a variety of regulations and standards. To comply with these requirements, developers need to show traceability from existing requirements through product testing.

The automated reverse synchronization between PTC codebeamer and Azure DevOps enables end to end traceability of requirements, changing priorities, and updates to the development team in their native tool. Similarly, the product team has insights into the development progress, testing, and validation without switching their system. Hence, the two-way flow of information across the tools enables both teams to focus on their core tasks without worrying about missing any updates on either side.

PTC codebeamer Integration with Azure DevOps Use Case


With the bidirectional integration of codebeamer and Azure DevOps Services and Server using OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM), the coordination between the product management and development teams becomes seamless. OIM facilitates compliance by ensuring full requirements traceability between both the tools and giving product team the visibility into development progress and validation results in real-time.

codebeamer with manager integration

  • 01

    The product manager creates/designs the business ‘Requirement’ in codebeamer and breaks down the business requirement into ‘Feature’.

  • 02

    The business requirement and feature are integrated into Azure DevOps Services / Server for development team to get complete visibility into requirements.

  • 03

    The developer starts working on the feature. The developer clarifies any questions on feature with the product team from within Azure DevOps. Any update done in codebeamer is available to Azure DevOps team automatically.

  • 04

    The developer defines the ‘User Story’ for the given feature in Azure DevOps Services / Server and breaks down the user stories into ‘Tasks’. The user story along with the tasks will sync back to codebeamer along with the detailed descriptions.

  • 05

    Based on the defined tasks for the given user stories, the timeline of the feature completion will be defined in Azure DevOps. This information will sync back to codebeamer as well.

  • 06

    The QA team will work on the testing of the story in Azure DevOps. If they find any defect in the functionality, they will log a ‘Bug’ in Azure DevOps and the same will be reflected in the codebeamer.
