ASPICE® v4.0 (officially v3.991 – draft of 4.0) is released and there have been some major changes in the new version. This includes major structural changes with the addition of new process groups and processes, including changes in BPs and GPs. The VDA Scope has also undergone critical changes. The current ASPICE® VDA scope is structured as basic set that includes some of the Management and Support processes along with four plug ins – SYS, SWE, HW, and ML (Machine Learning). VDA recommended scope for an assessment includes basic set with at least one plugin SYS, SWE, HW, or ML (machine learning). Additional plug ins, and processes from ASPICE® (flex scope), including processes from other PRM, can be added as per the assessment purpose.
