Once you start using codeBeamer, you can't be without it
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
codeBeamer is mostly used in engineering to help design, refine requirements, and organize and track progress of development, QA, and releases, of our software. It is also partly used in early phase analyzing and defining demands.
Pros
- Tracing of requirements.
- Tracking of development.
- Tracking of QA.
- Tracking of bugs.
- Tracking of releases.
- Wiki.
- Users and teams.
- Works for teams scattered across the globe.
- Testing and coverage for releases.
- Integration with SVN.
Cons
- Search.
- Metric calculation.
- Would be nice that cB is a source of truth, i.e., that say SVN commit is done only from cB; know this is difficult to achieve.
Likelihood to Recommend
In my opinion codeBeamer is well suited for any activity where detailed tracking is needed with teams involved.
It can be less suited for small projects which do not last long, or are not continuous, etc.
