Brief description

This Gate4SPICE event explores the practical implications of Automotive SPICE® PAM v4.0 in the context of platform-based development and reuse strategies. While stakeholders increasingly demand the use of shared platforms to improve efficiency, they also expect full evidence delivery in each individual application project - even when those evidences were already assessed at the platform level. This creates a conflict between reuse efficiency and assessment expectations.
The event aims to:
Discuss the impact of reuse on different Automotive SPICE® processes.
Identify opportunities to reduce assessment scope without compromising compliance.
Define criteria and guidelines for when and how reuse can be considered valid in assessments.
Provide practical examples of how assessors and project teams can align platform and application project perspectives.
