codeBeamer 7.7 is released with JIRA, Enterprise Architect integration and more

 
STUTTGART, Germany - June 15, 2015 - PRLog -- We are excited to announce the latest release of codeBeamer. Version 7.7 introduces a variety of new or extended integrations, a fully preconfigured SAFe® template to help implement the Scaled Agile Framework in large organizations, as well as performance and usability improvements.

This article will walk you through the most important updates in this latest release. For more information on the changes since version 7.6, and on how the new features work, make sure you sign up for our webinar on 24 Jun 2015 titled What is new in codeBeamer 7.7?, or check out the relevant Release note in codeBeamer's Knowledge Base.

SAFe® Template
codeBeamer's latest version 7.7 offers a template to help the successful implementation of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®). SAFe® is a structured approach to scaling Agile that lets you keep a certain level of organizational hierarchy while helping spread Agile across the departments and teams of large enterprises. Not only is codeBeamer the first known implementation of this framework, but from this latest version, we also offer a template specifically dedicated to supporting the management of processes under SAFe®.

The template comes with preconfigured trackers for the three layers of organizational hierarchy under the Scaled Agile Framework: the Team, Program and Portfolio levels, as well as Agile Release Trains (ARTs) spanning all three levels. Backlogs, and release planning help you scale Agile across large organizations, while codeBeamer's customizable workflows let you configure your ALM to suit your internal processes.

Enhanced Risk Management
Risk management has always been one of codeBeamer's strengths. After introducing a helpful Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) template in version 7.6, the new version 7.7 now comes with updated Risk Matrix Diagrams. These diagrams are now able to show both risks derived from requirements, and requirements derived from risks. They are also easier to use, with simply customizable background colors and value intervals.

Enterprise Architect and JIRA Integrations
codeBeamer has always offered integration points with many tools (just think about our MS Office round-trip functionality, MS Project importing, ReqIF, REST API integration with various tools such as Jenkins/Hudson, etc). With version 7.7, we've extended this list with two notable features: the first one is our extended JIRA sync functinality, allowing you to work simultaneously with JIRA and codeBeamer. This integration allows you to set update intervals as low as 2 minutes – in this case, your data will be automatically migrated from JIRA to codeBeamer every 2 minutes, ensuring smooth collaboration and integration between tools and teams. (Please note that this is a one-way process).

Our Enterprise Architect integration lets you import UML diagrams into codeBeamer. This helps using UML models to guide your entire development process, while letting you establish links between your work items in order to ensure complete traceability from user stories and requirements all the way through to testing and release. Importing your data to codeBeamer is really simple, all you will need is your codeBeamer username and password – with a single click of a button, your diagrams can then be imported to any codeBeamer tracker you see fit.

In addition to the above three major updates, we have implemented numerous usability improvements in codeBeamer's latest version 7.7. To learn more about all the improvements of this latest version, please feel free to join our webinar on 24 Jun 2015 titled What is new in codeBeamer 7.7?, where we'll showcase these new features and improvements.
