Abstract

The automotive industry is facing new challenges resulting from recent technological evolutions. Software is having a major impact on the level of functionality being delivered by systems present in vehicles and the role of software is believed to be more relevant in the future. This stresses organizations in the automotive domain to improve their software development capability to deal with the increasing levels of systems complexity. In this paper, a harmonization exercise is performed considering the Automotive SPICE and ISO 26262 which are two of the most relevant quality standards for organizations developing systems in the automotive domain. The goals are to have a deeper understanding of the scenario where organizations have a sub-scope of ASPICE adopted (HIS scope) and wish to adopt jointly the ISO26262 standard as a strategic approach to improving development capability. The results show that an organization with HIS implemented still has a considerable scope of ISO26262 to implement.
