With the release of the Automotive SPICE® PAM and PRM v4.0 on the 29th of November 2023, among the news was that new process groups were added. In this event, we will go more into the details of one of these, the Hardware Engineering Process Group (HWE).


Key ideas to discuss:


  • ASPICE plug-in concept for engineering processes
  • Overview of the HWE processes.
  • Showing the changes to the other engineering processes made to encompass HWE into the ASPICE v4.0.
  • Description on the impact that HWE has on non-engineering processes and how this is implemented in ASPICE v4.0.
