In the automotive industry in particular, compliance with Automotive SPICE®, or ASPICE® for short, is essential for companies to remain competitive with their software development. SPICE stands for 'Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination' – the optimization of software processes for higher product quality, more efficiency and improved traceability is clearly the focus here.
The successful ASPICE® assessment is not just a formal confirmation of process quality. It supports development companies in standardizing and improving their processes and thus reducing costs. The increasing complexity and networking of vehicles requires a structured approach to software development. Minimize errors and maximize reliability with ASPICE®.
How do you achieve this? Start by implementing ASPICE®-compatible processes. These customized workflows are your guarantee of meeting the requirements of an ASPICE® assessment. From requirements definition and design to implementation and test validation, these processes cover numerous development steps and reduce potential risks in your software right from the start.
Requirements Management – structured requirements management ensures complete capture and traceability of all requirements in accordance with ASPICE® guidelines, which is crucial to ensure product quality and meet customer requirements.
Configuration Management – Configuration management focuses on the identification, control and tracking of documents as well as software and system components throughout development to ensure their reproducibility and maintainability.
Problem Resolution Management – a comprehensive problem-solving process identifies and resolves risks and challenges at an early stage, ensuring compliance with the ASPICE® requirement for error prevention.
Change Request Management – structured change management ensures that requirements and their changes are always linked to design, development and test activities and that the traceability of changes is guaranteed at all times. This traceability is one of the most important aspects of an ASPICE® assessment.
At invenio, we understand the challenges of developing complex software solutions for vehicles that must meet the highest safety and quality standards. We know that every company and every software development is unique and has individual requirements. That's why we offer customized solutions to help you reap the benefits of a successful ASPICE® assessment.
For your ASPICE® assessment, we support you with comprehensive analyses of your existing processes, individual measures, manpower in your project or coaching. You decide where you need our expertise. All with the aim of efficiently introducing the necessary processes into your software development and ensuring your success.
The first step towards ASPICE®-compliant development is the GAP analysis to identify the discrepancies between your current processes and the requirements of the Automotive SPICE® standard. Our detailed approach enables you to make targeted improvements and bring your development practices to a higher level. Minimize risks by closing these gaps and position yourself optimally to achieve the highest quality standards in the automotive industry.
After identifying process gaps, we work with you to develop ASPICE® measures. These serve as your individual roadmap for the successful implementation of Automotive SPICE® in your development processes. Through targeted steps and clear milestones, we support you in optimizing your processes and meeting the requirements of ASPICE®. From training or coaching your team to the concrete implementation of measures – we are at your side to ensure efficient and quality-oriented development. Use this opportunity to turn challenges into opportunities and create the basis for sustainable success in the automotive industry.
As an automotive supplier, you are obliged to work in compliance with ASPICE®, but it is difficult to grasp how to establish the right processes in your company? We can help you get started and implement the new processes. A structured rollout plan guides you step by step through the implementation of ASPICE®. From training your teams and adapting processes to integrating best practices – we work with you to clearly and effectively design the path to ASPICE® compliance. Accelerate your development cycle, increase product quality and strengthen your position in the market with a smooth ASPICE® rollout.
We are a Siemens-certified Expert Partner for the requirements management tool Siemens Polarion®. Our offer includes the provision of an ASPICE® Polarion® template, which enables you to efficiently implement ASPICE® in the Siemens Polarion® development environment. This customized template ensures that your project documentation meets the requirements of ASPICE®. With clear sections for requirements documentation, test descriptions including test execution documentation and metrics, the structured template not only facilitates compliance, but also promotes transparency and traceability in your project. It enables seamless integration of ASPICE® requirements into the development process by providing clear guidelines for documentation and tracking. Use our ASPICE® Polarion® template to optimize your development practices while meeting the requirements.
With our ASPICE® coaching, you receive customized support for the successful application of the processes in your development environment. Our experienced coaches will guide you through the entire development cycle, from the evaluation and analysis of your current processes to the targeted implementation of improvement measures. After the coaching, you will understand the requirements of ASPICE® and will be able to implement them efficiently and sustainably, increasing your product quality. Our consulting services ensure that your company meets the high standards – from requirements elicitation to the implementation of best practices, we are at your side.
The ASPICE® assessment is not achieved through a specific set of systems and processes. It is a guide to help you develop a set of best practices and processes that work for you individually. It is important that you incorporate ASPICE® standards at every level of product development.
You have already implemented initial methods and processes for ASPICE® in your company, but need a little more know-how, additional methods and tools at hand as well as active support to develop your software project quickly and ASPICE®-compliant?
Especially in day-to-day project business, the workload is high, more and more requirements are added and it is not always easy to implement processes in compliance with ASPICE®. Our systems engineering experts can take the pressure off you in the short or long term.
As active team members, we work to ensure that challenges are quickly identified and optimized in the early development phase. This has a positive impact on costs, time and overall quality.
Our support focuses on increasing system quality, establishing the necessary processes and mastering the increasing complexity of the systems. Thanks to our many years of practical experience, we want to ensure that your project is successful and meets the requirements of the automotive industry, despite time pressure and constant changes to the product. In addition, we help you to identify potential for improvement in the ongoing project business and develop measures to optimize processes. Of course, we also provide you with tools and templates to implement processes efficiently. Our focus is on reliability and competence.
As part of your team, we would like to make a valuable contribution to sharing our ASPICE® expertise with you and improving quality, efficiency and traceability in your software development for the automotive industry.
We at invenio Systems Engineering not only implement the necessary methods, processes and tools together with you, but also accompany you on the way to auditing and beyond to ensure that you are successful with ASPICE® in the long term.
