Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE) is a process model for software and system development in the automotive industry. It is based on ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE - Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) and has been specially adapted to the requirements of the automotive industry.
It is used to ensure systematic and quality-assured software and system development in accordance with defined standards. A successful ASPICE assessment confirms that a company is capable of implementing projects efficiently and with high quality. The assessment is based on maturity levels (capability levels 0-5), with many automotive manufacturers requiring at least level 2 or 3 as a prerequisite for collaboration. This makes ASPICE an essential tool for suppliers to optimize their development processes and secure competitive advantages.
The better the development and support processes are structured, the greater the benefits for the customer. Optimized processes enable early error detection, which reduces error costs and minimizes subsequent rework.
A standardized procedure such as Automotive SPICE increases efficiency in project management and improves cooperation both within the development teams and with suppliers.
All of these factors contribute significantly to greater customer satisfaction, as the end product is more reliable, secure and in line with market requirements.
The consistent implementation of optimized processes not only improves the quality of products, but also the overall efficiency of a company. Projects are realized more successfully, while costs are reduced in the long term and marketability is increased.
Many companies face various challenges when implementing Automotive SPICE. Sepp.med offers targeted support in the following areas:
With this support, sepp.med ensures that companies establish ASPICE-compliant processes, work efficiently and pass a successful assessment.
Automotive SPICE® is evolving alongside the technology. For the first time, version 4.0 includes a separate process area for machine learning engineering (MLE), with four dedicated processes:
What does this mean in practice? Anyone integrating AI functions into vehicles must also develop and validate them in accordance with ASPICE. This applies to the quality assurance of AI models, as well as to the verifiability of training data and to validation in simulation and test environments.
You can find out how to validate AI systems in a structured, standards-compliant manner in our Quality Assurance for AI Systems section.
In this webinar, Rolf Wagner sheds light on the exciting question of whether ASPICE and agile development approaches contradict each other or whether they can even complement each other. In the automotive industry in particular, many companies are faced with the challenge of combining traditional process models with modern, flexible working methods. Rolf Wagner, an expert in this field, shares his experience and insights into how ASPICE and Agile can be successfully combined.

Start working with Automotive SPICE at the latest at the start of the project, or even better, implement it as a standard in the company at an early stage. Proactive preparation for ASPICE creates security and a clear competitive advantage!
The consideration of Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) is essential in the automotive industry as it ensures the quality and maturity of development processes. Many automotive manufacturers (OEMs) require ASPICE level 2 or 3 as a minimum requirement for their suppliers.
Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) is an essential standard for software and system development in the automotive industry. It ensures that development processes are structured, efficient and of high quality. Here are the main reasons why ASPICE is so important:
A recognized Automotive SPICE Assessment is essential to demonstrate process quality and maturity in software and system development. It is not only used for internal improvement, but is often a mandatory requirement of automotive manufacturers (OEMs). The most important objectives of an ASPICE assessment are:
