PTC has advanced its application lifecycle management (ALM) portfolio with the release of three new solutions designed to deliver new AI functionality. Codebeamer 3.2, Codebeamer AI 1.0, and Pure Variants 7.2 updates are promising to help organisations manage growing product complexity and regulatory demands with greater confidence and control as they become increasingly software-driven.

“Our customers’ products are becoming increasingly complex and software-driven, and they need confidence that every change, requirement, and decision is connected across the product lifecycle,” said Enrique Krajmalnik, General Manager of ALM at PTC.

“Codebeamer 3.2, Codebeamer AI 1.0, and Pure Variants 7.2 will help our clients continue to modernise their software development and requirements management effort by building a stronger product data foundation for managing complexity and applying AI effectively and responsibly.”

Codebeamer 3.2 and Pure Variants 7.2 boast new features and enhancements, including:

  • Digital thread integrations, which connect Codebeamer seamlessly with PTC’s Windchill® product lifecycle management (PLM) solution and other enterprise systems. This makes it easier for teams to track requirements, manage changes, and ensure compliance across software and hardware development.
  • Stream Baselines, which let teams capture complete snapshots of all projects within a stream. This provides consistent baselines, simplifies identifying relevant project states, and helps streamline change management across complex portfolios.
  • UI Upgrades to the Review Hub enables bulk approvals and rejections, clearer notifications, and visual highlights of differences.
  • Feature-Based PLE, which automates stream and stream baseline creation. It also uses Delta Merge (Beta) to support concurrent development across platforms and variants.

Building on these capabilities, Codebeamer AI 1.0 introduces two new AI assistants: the ‘Requirements Assistant’ and the ‘Test Case Assistant’.

The Requirements Assistant, aligned with INCOSE and ISTQB guidance, automatically detects requirement quality issues, enabling faster creation of clearer, standards-aligned requirements with less dependence on expert review.

Separately, manual test case creation is often time-consuming and error prone. With this in mind, the Test Case Assistant generates and optimises test cases directly from requirements, delivering improved accuracy and consistency, strengthened traceability, and accelerated validation activities.

Joseph June, Global Head of AI Innovation at PTC, said: “By working alongside engineers in real time, Codebeamer AI brings greater clarity and consistency to everyday decisions, helping teams move faster with confidence and keep pace with the demands of modern, software-driven product development.”

Working alongside other AI solutions, such as PTC’s Windchill AI and ServiceMax® AI solutions, Codebeamer AI helps organisations scale AI-driven transformation with confidence.
