Abstract
After the revolution of new constraints like Cybersecurity in modern industries and high-tech fields, and the innovation of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning in the fields of Software Development in general, or the vast application of ChatGPT [1] in the automotive industry in specific, there was a urge towards the simplification of process models to cope with the change in projects nature and serve all purposes. Accordingly, VDA-QMC [2] has released a new simplified draft version of the Automotive SPICE PAM (version 4.0) [3] that encompasses many of these ideas, which is currently under review.
In this paper, we take the opportunity to demonstrate the results of a pilot assessment of this new version on a few mockup project samples, focusing on areas for improvements in hopes to enhance the final version expected June, 2023 into a more practical approach. The paper also urges the VDA to officially consider the results of this case study into the expected new version release of Automotive SPICE to ensure a more reliable and complete version.
