IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) is a leading platform for the development of software solutions and products that improves the collaboration and communication of your teams, enables well-founded decisions, optimises product quality and reduces costs. ELM covers all steps from Requirements management from system design, modelling and development to verification and validation. It solves the problems of information gaps, incompatible interfaces and decentralised databases by providing seamless transparency across all system and software engineering data.
What is ELM?
IBM ELM is a comprehensive platform that covers all phases of the product development cycle. It offers powerful tools for:
- Requirements management
Capture and manage all requirements in a centralised database to ensure that all stakeholders have access to the latest information at all times. - System and software modelling
IBM Rhapsody is the central platform for systems engineers to capture requirements, model systems, run simulations and generate code, accelerating the development of complex systems. - Software development
Standardised planning, development and management of engineering and software projects facilitates an overview of all projects - Test management
Automated test sequences, which are directly linked to the requirements, enable rapid feedback and help to recognise errors at an early stage. - Quality assurance
End-to-end traceability ensures product quality and seamless documentation so that all steps in the development process are traceable and verifiable. - Configuration management
Clear management of changes and versions. - Collaboration
Promoting cooperation between different teams and disciplines.
Why is ELM important?
The implementation of IBM ELM offers decisive advantages:
- Adherence to standards and compliance requirements
