ASPICE

Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE) is a process assessment and improvement model for engineering automotive software and systems. Maintained by the VDA QMC's Automotive Special Interest Group and aligned with the ISO/IEC 330xx measurement rules, ASPICE defines the outcomes that processes should achieve, as well as the evidence that should be produced upon successful completion of work. It is lifecycle-agnostic, meaning agile, V-model and hybrid teams can all comply, provided they consistently produce and demonstrate the expected results. While ISO 26262 remains responsible for functional safety, ASPICE supports safety by ensuring that processes creating safety-relevant work products are consistent, controlled and auditable.
