ASPICE, Automotive SPICE
Accuracy for electronic and software-based systems
The electronics industry is becoming increasingly complex and needs to meet more standards in terms of functionality and safety. At DigiProces we work for critical markets that require strict compliance with protocols and results, so we implement systematic and precise development procedures to respond to their challenging demands.
SPICE to set out the software life cycle
In order to produce high-quality software, our engineering team works in compliance with the SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) international framework. We apply this standard to meet the demanding specifications required by the advanced developments currently being created in the innovative markets we serve.
The Technology Center integrates this verification process into all phases of the software life cycle, from preliminary design to manufacturing, enhancing maturity and reliability at every stage to deliver consistent quality throughout the development process.
Advantages provided by the Technology Center
- Minimizing the risk of error thanks to a well-documented software development
- Ensuring the quality and safety of processes and final products
- Improving the ability to manage projects of increasing complexity
- Reducing cost overruns and boost productivity
- Higher control and visibility of the entire development process
- Increasing innovation and continuous improvement
- Promoting high performance of teams
The modern automotive scene
The automotive sector is key for DigiProces, so we have specialized in developing advanced software and integrated systems to make automotive technologies a reality. We know how difficult it is to generate and implement all the engineering required by this market, and that is why our Technology Center works applying the ASPICE model, which arises as a variation of the ISO/IEC 15504 standard, or SPICE.
Complementing ISO 26262 on software safety and IEC 61508 on functional safety, the goal of ASPICE is to establish a common framework to evaluate an organization’s capacity to develop automotive software. This model guarantees compliance with best practices and optimal procedures for organizing projects, making them feasible and defining the life cycle of the software.
Industry-standard guideline
The demanding level of quality required to work according to ASPICE has become the standard for the main automotive manufacturers worldwide. In addition, it includes the complex systems, measurements and requirements imposed by government regulations.
ASPICE assigns a maturity level, from 0 to 5, to each phase of the project and is based on the V-model, which analyzes and verifies every development stage to avoid possible errors or problems in early steps.
The software development team at the Technology Center by DigiProces is deeply into the ASPICE approach, applying the method in both software development and hardware design. This takes us to a general perspective allowing us to reduce timings and improve integrations, which is one of the most critical points to prevent errors.
Aware of the many advantages of the model, we continue working firmly to progress in this level structure, aimed at responding flawlessly to all the requirements demanded by automotive OEMs.
