Abstract

In the context of the Automotive SPICE® standard process reference and assessment models, many works have been published about the standard’s possible and actual interpretations in several industrial environments and applications. Very few of them, however, deal with the question of what detailed electronic hardware development practices can or shall achieve, and in which order they should be performed. Particularly in safety-relevant systems, however, hardware design quality is vital. In this paper, we present an interpretation of Automotive Hardware SPICE as it is practiced within a global tier-2 supplier. We also show its compatibility with the Hardware SPICE process reference and assessment model plug-in released by the intacsTM at the end of 2019.
