ASPICE

Automotive Software Performance Improvement and Capability determination (ASPICE) as a standard provides the framework for defining, implementing, and evaluating the process required for system development focused on software and system parts in the automotive industry. This framework can be extended to include processes from other domains like hardware and mechanical engineering using the “Plug-in” concept explained in the standard.

ASPICE (Automotive Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination)  is a specialized variant of the international Standard also known as ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE). Due to maturity guidelines and assessment, it is also an automotive equivalent of CMMI.
