Let’s talk “PROCESS” here

First, you need to know what ASPICE is?

Automotive Software Process Improvement Capability dEtermination.

It is an industry-standard guideline for evaluating software development processes.

________________________________________

ASPICE BIG questions?

Do you have process even if you don’t really follow them [Initially]?
Are the processes [PERFORMED] in the project?
Are they [MANAGED]?
Are they [ESTABLISHED] for the organization?
Are they [PREDICTABLE]?
Are they [INNOVATIVE]?

________________________________________

ASPICE capability levels:

Level 0: Incomplete process

The process is not implemented, or fails to achieve its process purpose:
New companies/projects that are still moving from mockup phase to actual product.
Projects that failed to achieve the process.
It can be cost or efficiency related reasons.
The implemented process achieves its process purpose.
Projects can either nearly or entirely deliver the standard requirements.
It may have gaps in the process.

Level 2: Managed process

The performed process that lead to Level 1 is now manageability implemented.
Processes are planned, monitored and adjusted.
the work products are appropriately established, controlled and maintained through the project life time.

NOTE:
--> It is still a project assessment not yet across the whole company.

Level 3: Established process

Now the organization has mature company-wide standards .
The process is capable of achieving its process outcomes.

Level 4: Predictable process

Now the organization operates predictively within defined limits to achieve its process outcomes
Processes are predictable and aligned with all stakeholders’ needs
The approach to process improvement in data-driven from previous experience.

Level 5: Innovating process

process is now continually improved to respond to organizational change
Processes are predictable and aligned with all stakeholders’ needs
The approach to process improvement in data-driven from previous experience.

________________________________________

The improvement process should be maintained regularly.

Even for those who can reach level 4 and 5.

Whose who can 👀👀

________________________________________

ASPICE Rating:

Judgement result of the degree of achievement of each process attribute

Refer to ASPICE: “3.2.2. Process attribute rating” for detailed ratings

________________________________________

What Shows that you follow/respect ASPICE?

Process Capability and Assessments:

Process Capability!

Whaaaat!

Process assessments are done based on selected processes from a process reference model

Assessors assign ratings for processes through the provided evidence that show that you respect ASPICE processes.

Soooooooooo?!

ASPICE defines processes to respect
Assessors validate these points against the project outcomes
Projects need to provide proof for each point

________________________________________

Process Abstraction Levels:

NOTE:

ASPICE doesn’t define HOW to do it!

but actually WHAT to be done

Then, each company decides HOW to achieve it.
The relevant activities can vary according to different project situation in the same company

LEVEL 1?

Practices template to achieve LEVEL1

How to explore ASPICE document for your area?

Automotive_SPICE_PAM_30

NOTE:
Automotive SPICE® 4.0 has been published recently.

________________________________________

How to READ ASPICE document?

1) In the Sw engineering process group find your area.. For example SWE.1

2) Find the relevant Process reference model:

3) Find the process details and Base Practices..

Then refer to your company/project best practices and checklists to achieve them
