Using the IDEAL software process improvement model for the implementation of Automotive SPICE

Abstract

Most suppliers in the automotive industry are facing the challenge of implementing Automotive SPICE, a domain-specific model of ISO/IEC 15504, which was first published in 2005. Original equipment manufacturers have increasingly requested SPICE certifications from their suppliers in order to effectively evaluate the development processes and identify reliable partners. To support organizations in their software process improvement effort, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) developed the IDEAL model. This guide is, however, influenced by the SEI's work on CMM and based on the experiences with very large organizations. The goal of this paper is to examine the suitability of the IDEAL model for the implementation of Automotive SPICE at a medium-sized R&D department. Preliminary results from an action research study at a global systems engineering company are discussed. The data indicate that adjustments are especially needed with regard to the factors participation and communication. Also, informal networks between companies, early decision-making and usability are shown to play an important role and might be added to the model.

Verification and validation of embedded software in an automotive context: a systematic literature review

“…Fourth and fifth were BMW with two articles (KRIEBEL, 2018;DEICKE et al, 2012) and General Motors also with two articles (PETRENKO et al, 2015;NEUROHR, 2021). Other companies such as FEV Europe GmbH, SMR Automotive Mirrors Stuttgart GmbH, Toyota, ZF AG, and Hyundai Motor were also involved with articles (KRIEBEL, 2018;KLENDAUER et al, 2012;YAMAGUCHI et al, 2016;NEUROHR, 2021;SEO, 2012;CHOI, 2012;YANG, 2012). These results indicate that a small circle of companies is involved in researching the topics covered by this SLR, and most of them are in Europe.…”

Proposed Framework to Manage Software Requirements and Reuse

“…The problem under investigation is the challenge facing suppliers in the automotive industry regarding implementation of ISO/IEC 15504 a domainspecific model called Automotive SPICE. The study demonstrates the significant contribution of IDEAL model to the success of SPICE implementation and provides a viable solution for medium-sized research and development units [8]. The main limitation of the study is that its scope does not adjust for factors such as communication and participation.…”

“…Klendauer et al [8] examine the area of Automotive SPICE implementation using the IDEAL model as a strategy towards SPI. The problem under investigation is the challenge facing suppliers in the automotive industry regarding implementation of ISO/IEC 15504 a domainspecific model called Automotive SPICE.…”

“…하지만 중소기업에서 상위 업체가 제시한 Automotive SPICE 프로세스를 모두 적용하기는 힘들다 [1]. 따라서 필수 Automotive SPICE 항목인 HIS scope의 프로세스만을 수행 하는 방법이 있으며, 이를 수행한 결과가 어느 정도의 품질 보증 활동 수준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다 [7].…”
