Automotive SPICE®, also known as ASPICE®, is a standard used as a framework for improving and evaluating processes. The focus is on processes for the development of software-based systems. An ASPICE® Assessment is a systematic evaluation of the capability level of an organizational unit’s processes against the ASPICE® model.
In other words, within an assessment, your current processes are mapped to and compared with the best practices for software and software-based system development for the automotive industry.
