Working Group Information

PURPOSE

Creation of a process model for Software Automation that is aligned with ISO/IEC 15504:2012.

MOTIVATION

In SW development and for all supporting processes SW Automation plays an increasing role.

Examples for SW Automation are: Test Automation (unit, integration, system test), Continuous Deployment and Continuous Integration, configuration management etc. So far, no standard exists to assess, how much is automated and how mature the SW Automation is. With the SW Automation Reference Model, it is intended to close this gap.

DELIVERABLES

  • Pilot the draft model - we are actively looking for organizations interested in piloting
  • Create a SW Automation SPICE PAM
  • Creation of standard training material and exams

PURPOSE

Creation of a process model “Agile SPICE®” to reflect agile concepts, methods and practices, but only with either changed or added processes and process groups

MOTIVATION

  • Growing complexity and faster changes during development drive increased use of agile approaches.
  • OEMs ensure the overall quality and safety/security of those products, leading to increased pressure to show Automotive SPICE® capabilities.
  • Automotive SPICE® as is can be applied and interpreted for any kind of development.
  • However, both agile organizations and those in an agile transition struggle in implementing and interpreting Automotive SPICE®.
  • There is a need to reduce misunderstandings and help to interpret the terminology for both sides.
  • This bridge shall …
    • reduce the variation in interpretation of Automotive SPICE® assessors,
    • increase the acceptance of Automotive SPICE® in the agile community.

DELIVERABLES

  • Development of an Agile SPICE® PAM (applicable with Automotive SPICE® 3.1) including usage guidance and mapping to Automotive SPICE® practices
  • Piloting the Agile SPICE® PAM in assessments
  • Creation of standard training material and exams

  Purpose / Objective

Creation of an add-on for Automotive SPICE® addresing cybersecurity aspects of development projects:

  • Definition of additional processes (which do not exist in Automotive SPICE®)
  • Definition of additional Outcomes and Work Products (which do not exist in Automotive SPICE®)
  • Definition of additional Base Practices for existing Automotive SPICE® Processes
  • Definition of additional Notes for existing Automotive SPICE® Processes or Base Practices

Deliverables

  • Extension to Automotive SPICE® 3.1 – to be able to measure the compliance of the development processes versus ISO/ SAE 21434
  • Mapping of the extension elements to elements of ISO/ SAE 21434
  • Extension to Automotive SPICE® Competent Assessor Qualification (Procedure, Syllabus, Training material, accreditation of TPs, certification)
  • Managed Best Practice collection (mapped to elements of ISO/SAE 21434)
  • Reports how to apply the ISO/SAE 21434 and how to assess

This intacs working group is developing further the existing ISO-20000-PAM into an up-to-date Process Assessment Model „SPICE for IT-Services“ which will serve two purposes:

1. Managing IT Suppliers

Experience with the existing PAM has shown that it is very beneficial for large organizations that purchase IT services to evaluate their IT suppliers on their ability to support their customer's business. If the issues and weaknesses identified in the assessments are resolved, performance can be improved, and resilience enhanced.

2. „SPICE for Automotive IT-Services“

In a second development stage, the PAM will be extended to future automotive IT service management. The background is that automotive system development will evolve from a predominantly vehicle scope to a highly distributed scope in the next few years:

Onboard units in a vehicle will network (keyword "car-to-x communication") with e.g. other vehicles, roadside devices, cloud services (e.g. POI management, navigation, automated valet parking, trunk shopping delivery, ...).

Just as today the quality capability of vehicle suppliers is assessed with Automotive SPICE, in the future the quality capability of IT suppliers will be assessed with "SPICE for Automotive IT Services".
