Cadenza is an AI-powered intelligence layer for requirements engineering in automotive software teams. It connects to the ALM platform you already use and automates traceability, ASPICE gap detection, test generation, capability scoring, and natural-language search. It augments your existing tools rather than replacing them.
Cadenza integrates with Polarion, Codebeamer, Jama Connect, and IBM DOORS Next. All four connectors are production-ready. It connects through each platform's REST API using the credentials your team already has, typically in under five minutes.
No. Cadenza augments your ALM through its REST API: it reads your work items on demand, analyzes them, and writes results back to the same place. Your data stays in your ALM at all times: zero migration, zero lock-in.
N, P, L and F stand for not, partially, largely and fully achieved. This is the rating scale used in Automotive SPICE assessments. Cadenza's scoring engine rates SYS.1 to SYS.3 and SWE.1 to SWE.6 with deterministic, auditable rules instead of AI, so the same project data always produces the same score. Every rating traces back to concrete work items and links in your ALM.
Cadenza helps teams assess their work against ASPICE base practices and close the gaps it finds, and it supports ISO 26262- and SOTIF-oriented workflows such as safety-related test generation and traceability analysis. It is a preparation and analysis tool: it does not certify compliance and does not replace a formal assessment.
Cadenza reads a requirement from your ALM and generates structured test cases for it, including test steps and expected results, which you review before anything is written back. AI features run on a bring-your-own-key (BYOK) basis: you provide your own Azure OpenAI key, so inference runs on your tenant.
Your requirements stay in your ALM. Cadenza reads them on demand and writes results back through the ALM's own API. The SaaS deployment is hosted in the EU (Hetzner, Germany), and with BYOK your AI calls run on your own Azure OpenAI tenant. Cadenza is designed to meet GDPR requirements. The details are in our privacy policy.
Entry is €300 per user per month, Pro is €500 per user per month, and Enterprise pricing is custom. All plans are billed monthly per user, and a 30-day full-access trial is available on request, no credit card. The full feature comparison is on the pricing page.
Yes, on the Enterprise plan. We ship Docker images that run inside your own infrastructure, fully air-gapped if required, with a self-hosted LLM such as vLLM or Ollama. Our team supports the installation.
