Automotive SPICE

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Automotive SPICE is a domain-specific variant of the international standard ISO / IEC 15504 ( SPICE ). The purpose of Automotive SPICE is to evaluate the performance of the development processes of control unit suppliers in the automotive industry.

The Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) is the owner of the Automotive SPICE brand in the USA, the EU and Switzerland.

Automotive SPICE was from 2001 through the AUTOSIG (English auto motive S pecial I nterest G roup ) developed to which the German car manufacturer Audi , BMW , Daimler , Porsche and Volkswagen , as well as the worldwide automotive industry and interest groups such as Fiat , Ford , Jaguar , land Rover , Volvo , the SPICE User Group and the Procurement Forum belong.

In version 3.1, the requirements from ISO / IEC 33020: 2015 (formerly ISO / IEC 15504-2) apply to the implementation of compliant Automotive SPICE assessments, e.g. B. with regard to the competence of the lead assessor, the creation of input documents, the activities to be carried out, the creation of output documents and the comprehensive documentation of the entire assessment process. The necessary qualification of the lead assessor can be proven by certification. There are two qualification schemes in German-speaking countries:

  • INTACS (International Assessor Certification Scheme),
  • IntRSA (International Registration Scheme for Assessors).

The German car manufacturer Audi, BMW, Daimler, Porsche and Volkswagen have as part of HIS ( H creator i nitiative S oftware) to a common scope of minimally agreed in an assessment to be considered processes (Minimal Scope). Since January 1, 2007, HIS members have only accepted Automotive SPICE assessments as part of joint project work with suppliers.

The cooperation partner of the VDA is iNTACS eV, which developed the scheme of the same name for assessor training. The iNTACS scheme meets the qualification requirements of the HIS and those of ISO / IEC 15504-2. There are cooperation agreements between iNTACS eV and the VDA in order to jointly ensure the training and certification of Automotive SPICE assessors at a high quality standard and to further develop the scheme. In November 2008, the VDA published an official German translation of the Automotive SPICE text, which was previously only available in English. The VDA recommends Automotive SPICE as an evaluation model for software development processes to its members.

SPICE for Mechanical Engineering (short: ME-SPICE) is an extension of Automotive SPICE according to the plug-in concept defined there. The purpose of the process assessment model (PAM) published with ME-SPICE is to evaluate the performance of the development processes for mechanical systems or for the mechanical components of mechatronic systems .
