Compliance by Experience
AVL leads the way with ASPICE compliance
The implementation of standards is the supreme discipline in the software
world. Safety standards for control software are therefore at the heart
of AVL’s projects with customers. “This gives us a competitive advantage
over start-ups,” explains Stefan Schmid from AVL Software and Functions,
referring to the company’s impressive track record.
Automotive Spice, or ASPICE®, is the established quality framework for
embedded software development in the automotive industry. It stands for
Automotive Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination
and was created to evaluate the performance of OEM suppliers’ development
processes. It helps teams to establish and maintain their process approach
to ensure quality, reliability, and deliverables.
With more than 20 years of experience in the successful development of
series-proven software products, AVL can competently accompany its
customers in the implementation and application of rule-compliant processes,

methods and tools.
“We ensure ASPICE compliance
right from the very first line of code
written”, says Georg Schwab, Managing
Director at AVL Software
and Functions. This becomes even
more important the more complex
the vehicle software requirements
are. “If there is an accident, you are
lost without accurate documentation,”
he adds.
For AVL, dealing with ASPICE
is also a matter of differentiation.
We have developed a unique PMT
(Processes, Methods and Tools)
approach
to ensure that the best possible
software product meets every
aspect of our customers’ requirements
and regulatory standards.
