Codebeamer — ALM for Safety-Critical Systems

Codebeamer is PTC's ALM platform for developing complex, safety-critical software and products — meeting ISO 26262, IEC 62304, DO-178C, IEC 61508, and other standards.

What problem does Codebeamer solve?

Manage requirements, testing, risk, configuration, and variants in a single platform — ensuring end-to-end traceability for safety-critical system development (automotive, medical, aerospace, industrial).

Supports Agile, Hybrid (Agile-Waterfall), and compliance-driven processes — suited to a wide range of development teams.

The key difference versus Jira/Polarion is the ability to template industry safety-standard processes — audit-ready with full traceability from the moment of deployment.

Frequently asked questions

How is Codebeamer different from Jira?

Jira focuses on agile project management. Codebeamer is a full ALM platform — with integrated requirements, test, risk, configuration, and variant management; designed for safety-critical systems that demand strict compliance.

Can it be deployed on-premise?

Yes. Codebeamer supports on-premise, private cloud, or public cloud (AWS/Azure) deployment. NEAX advises on the right choice based on the customer's security requirements.

How long does migration from Polarion / DOORS to Codebeamer take?

It depends on data volume — NEAX has standardized tools and processes for migration, typically 4–12 weeks for an average project.
