USE CASE
Test Coverage and Quality Reporting: Codebeamer and Azure DevOps
Maintaining transparent test coverage and quality metrics is critical for product integrity, compliance and faster release cycles. Yet, when Codebeamer is used for requirements and quality management while Azure DevOps handles test execution, visibility often becomes fragmented. Reporting is duplicated, validation evidence is incomplete and audit readiness suffers. This use case shows how AroTrace bridges Codebeamer and Azure DevOps, providing end-to-end traceability from requirements to test results and ensuring structured quality reporting.
THE CHALLENGE
Gaps in Test Coverage, Reporting and Compliance
Managing validation across separate tools introduces inefficiency, fragmented reporting and compliance challenges. Teams often face the following obstacles:
1. Disconnected Validation Artifacts
Teams store requirements in Codebeamer, while they create and execute test cases and results in Azure DevOps. Without direct linkage, it becomes difficult to confirm which requirements have been fully tested.
2. Inefficient and Error-Prone Reporting
Quality teams manually compile reports, cross-check data and reconcile test results, increasing the risk of incomplete coverage and missed defects.
3. Compliance and Audit Readiness at Risk
Standards such as ISO 26262, ASPICE, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and DO-178C require evidence that all requirements are validated and test failures are tracked. Disconnected systems make producing such proof time-consuming and unreliable.
ARORIAN SOLUTION
AroTrace: Unified Test Coverage and Quality Reporting
AroTrace is Arorian’s integration platform designed to establish live, traceable connections between engineering tools, ensuring data consistency and process efficiency. For this use case, AroTrace links Codebeamer and Azure DevOps to create a unified environment where requirements, test cases and results form a seamless validation chain.
Key Capabilities of AroTrace:
1. Traceable Linkage
Maps Codebeamer requirements to ADO test cases and plans for complete coverage tracking.
2. Real-Time Sync
Pushes test results (pass/fail, execution logs, timestamps) back to Codebeamer.
3. Dynamic Reporting
Provides dashboards and coverage metrics across the lifecycle.
4. Audit-Ready History
Maintains a historical log of validation outcomes for regulatory compliance.
