Automotive SPICE In Practice: Surviving Implementation And Assessment
Automotive SPICE is a framework for designing and assessing
software development processes. If implemented effectively,
it leads to better processes and better product quality. It
also helps to improve the cooperation among complex supply
chains and between globally distributed development and
engineering centers.
Automotive
SPICE has been derived from the ISO/IEC 15504
standard, also known as SPICE. It has been developed under
the Automotive SPICE initiative by the consensus of several
major car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Ford, Fiat,
Daimler, Porsche, Volkswagen, and Volvo. Today, Automotive
SPICE has become a standard in the international automotive
industry.
This book is written as a guide to help the reader
understand and interpret the requirements of this standard
and to implement Automotive SPICE in a real world
application environment. It is written for engineers,
practitioners, managers, and project managers who need
practical guidance in applying or implementing the
Automotive SPICE framework in his/her company. Important
topics, such as traceability, functional safety (IEC 61508),
and the relationship between Automotive SPICE and CMMI are
given particular attention.
This book is a definite must for practitioners involved in
implementing Automotive SPICE in process improvement
programs; a welcome aid for any assessor looking for clear,
consistent, and constructive rating guidelines; and an
invaluable resource for anyone concerned with engineering
development processes in the automotive industry.
