PTC codebeamer Integration with Micro Focus ALM
Traceability of requirements to tests is critical for handling product complexity efficiently. In addition, meeting stringent compliance requirements to ensure safety and efficacy of products is the top priority for the organizations. Therefore, software delivery today needs an agile, unified, and integrated ecosystem of tools for better traceability, governance, and collaboration.
Connecting codebeamer bidirectionally with Micro Focus ALM helps product management and QA teams cross-communicate better, and access evolving requirements and test cases in real-time. This, in turn, helps the teams to focus on customer priorities, quality of the deliverable, and accelerates the product development cycle while meeting compliance mandates.

PTC codebeamer Integration with Micro Focus ALM Use Case
When PTC codebeamer is integrated with Micro Focus ALM (Also known as Micro Focus ALM / QC and Micro Focus ALM Octane) using OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM), the product manager will have real-time insight into the types of defects logged by the Quality Assurance (QA) team, the priorities of these defects, and the overall progress of implementing the requirement.
-
01
The product manager creates a ‘business requirement’ in codebeamer, defines its priority as ‘Major’, and adds descriptive comments for the development and QA teams.
-
02
The ‘business requirement’ synchronizes to Micro Focus ALM along with the priority and description.
-
03
Based on this requirement, the QA team writes a ‘test case’ and links it to the corresponding requirement in Micro Focus ALM.
-
04
When the development team completes the requirement, the QA team runs the test case. If the test case fails, the QA team logs a ‘defect’ in Micro Focus ALM.
-
05
The QA team adds further insight into the defect by adding a descriptive comment
-
06
The defect synchronizes as a ‘bug’ in codebeamer along with a link to the requirement
-
07
In codebeamer, the status of the ‘business requirement’ changes to ‘failed’. The related defect also shows up under the associated ‘business requirement’.
-
08
Once the defect is resolved by the development team, the status of the defect is updated in Micro Focus ALM as well as on the codebeamer side.
