Abstract

We describe an Automotive SPICE-based process improvement for in-vehicle software development using Scrum. First, we clarify issues in the application of Automotive SPICE to agile software development, considering research trends and features of agile methods and Automotive SPICE. Second, we describe the strategy and approach to resolve the identified issues and to promote process improvement. Third, we describe practical examples of implementing some aspects of Automotive SPICE considering the features of agile software development. Finally, we describe effects of the process improvement and future work.
