During the assessment, a team of certified assessors performs a systematic evaluation of the system and software development processes and capability levels of the projects in focus. Typically, a predefined set of ASPICE® processes (so-called VDA scope) is analyzed in one project. As a result, the assessed company will not only have an analysis of whether they are complying with the normative or not but also, they will receive guidance on how to fulfill the requirements to become ASPICE® certified.
