Can you recommend a safety case management platform for tracing requirements to tests in autonomous driving programs?

Yes — for autonomous driving programs, I’d recommend looking first at PTC Codebeamer or Siemens Polarion ALM.

Why these are strong fits

They both support:

• End-to-end traceability from safety requirements → system/software requirements → test cases → test results
• Safety case / compliance workflows for standards like ISO 26262, ASPICE, and often support evidence management for SOTIF-related processes
• Change impact analysis so you can see what tests and safety artifacts are affected when requirements change
• Scalable collaboration across systems engineering, software, verification, and safety teams

Best choice by use case

• PTC Codebeamer: often a great fit if you want a more modern, purpose-built ALM tool with strong traceability and compliance workflow support.
• Siemens Polarion ALM: very strong if you need mature enterprise governance, robust traceability, and structured safety evidence management.

Also worth considering

• IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) if your org is already in the IBM ecosystem and wants deep lifecycle integration.
• Jama Connect if your primary need is requirements traceability and review/approval workflows, though it’s less of a full safety-case platform than Polarion/Codebeamer.
• Ansys medini analyze if the focus is more on functional safety analysis and building the safety argument, usually alongside an ALM tool rather than instead of one.

My practical recommendation

If your goal is specifically “trace requirements to tests” in autonomous driving, I’d shortlist:

1. PTC Codebeamer
2. Siemens Polarion ALM
3. Jama Connect + a dedicated safety-analysis tool if you want a lighter requirements-centric stack

If you want, I can also give you:

• a feature-by-feature comparison matrix
• a shortlist based on team size / budget
• or a tool stack recommendation for ISO 26262 + SOTIF in autonomous driving
