Driving Innovation with Integrated Codebeamer ALM

Seamless Collaboration & ASPICE Compliance for a Leading Automotive R&D Center

Client Overview

The client’s central R&D division is the innovation hub of a leading global automotive component manufacturer. With over 400 engineers across R&D centers in Pune, Gurgaon, and Bangalore, the division specializes in developing cutting-edge products like Converters, Lighting Systems, Chargers, and Switches. As a key player in the automotive supply chain, the client requires rigorous processes, compliance with standards like ASPICE, and seamless collaboration to deliver high-quality, innovative solutions

Problem Statement

The client’s distributed engineering teams faced significant hurdles in managing
complex, safety-critical automotive product development:

Disconnected Engineering Lifecycle:

Requirements, tests, and defects were
managed in silos using spreadsheets and
documents, creating severe gaps in
end-to-end traceability.
The lack of a unified platform caused
communication gaps and version
mismatches among teams in Pune,
Gurgaon, and Bangalore divisions.

Inefficient Compliance & Audits:

Unstructured workflows made ASPICE
compliance audits difficult and evidence
collection a manual, time-consuming
process.
No proper baseline mechanism
prevented effective tracking of historical
changes and version control

Inefficient Compliance & Audits:

changes and version control

Limited, project visibility:

Lack of integrated planning tools and
real-time dashboards reduced project
visibility, delayed management
decisions, and hindered progress
tracking.

Our Solution

End-to-End Codebeamer ALM Implementation

MicroGenesis implemented a unified Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) platform
using Codebeamer to automate and streamline client’s engineering workflows.

Duration: 8 Months | On-Premises Deployment

The Business Impact

The ALM transformation established a modern, integrated engineering environment,
delivering significant improvements in efficiency, quality, and compliance.

Traceability

Achieved end-to-end traceability between requirements, tests, code (GitLab),
and results, enabling robust impact analysis.

Compliance

ASPICE-compliant templates and automated workflows streamlined audit
preparation and eliminated manual evidence collection.

Process Efficiency

Centralized bug lifecycle and automated workflows accelerated defect
resolution and reduced duplicate efforts.

Project Visibility

Real-time dashboards and sprint tracking provided full project visibility,
enabling faster management decisions.

Collaboration

A single source of truth bridged communication gaps between distributed
teams, enhancing synchronization

Strategic Outcomes:

Project Visibility

Successfully transitioned from a traditional, document-centric approach to a modern, integrated ALM environment.
Enhanced transparency, collaboration, and agility across all engineering teams, reinforcing client’s position asan innovation leader.
Established a scalable, compliant foundation for all current and future automotive electronics programs
