Software Process Improvement Capability dEtermination

 

There are two main standards used to perform assessments:

»ISO/IEC 15504 (SPiCE)

»Automotive SPiCE (based on ISO/IEC 15504)

 

ISO/IEC TR 15504 is the international standard for Software Process Assessment.

 

ISO/TS16949 starts with broad, general processes and drills down as needed

 

SPiCE & CMMI:

–SPiCE is European-driven

–CMMI is North American-driven

–Rating is similar (for CMMI Continuous)

–SPiCE focuses on a single project or family of projects to determine capability to support the project

–CMMI typically looks at multiple projects to determine organizational capability

 

Processes for Automotive SPiCE & ISO/IEC 15504 are organized into 3 Process Categories:

–Primary Life Cycle

–Supporting Life Cycle

–Organizational Life Cycle

 

HIS Scope:

–Defines a basic subset of processes to be evaluated

–Related to the V-model

 

Planning is a key element to succeed! – Project plans shall be created as soon as the project starts.
