Overview - Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE)

IMPORTANT HINT: Hardware Engineering Process Group and Machine Learning Process Group are not covered

The course gives an overview of Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE) Version 4.0.

The contents of the course are divided into three main chapters:

1. Basics of Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE)

2. Process Reference Model and related Process Groups

3. Capability Levels of Auotmotive SPICE® (ASPICE)

Chapter 1: Basics of Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE)

In this chapter you learn more about the motivation for the introduction and implementation of Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE). Also the history of Automotive SPICE® is explained, the strcuture of the Process Reference Model, the difference between ISO 26262 and ASPICE, the strcuture of the ASPICE Document and the Process Description Template.

Chapter 2: Process Reference Model and related Process Groups

In this chapter the different process groups defined in the Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE) standard are explained. The following process groups are considered in the course:

- Acquisition process group (ACQ)

- Supply process group (SPL)

- System engineering process group (SYS)

- Software engineering process group (SWE)

- Supporting process group (SUP)

- Management process group (MAN)

- Process improvement process group (PIM)

- Reuse process group (REU)

Chapter 3: Capability Levels of Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE)

In this chapter you get an overview of the 5 capability levels defined in the Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE) standard. Also the template for process attribute description is explained and how the capability level of a process is determined during an ASPICE assessment.
