1. So, I need to understand SPICE
---
SPICE is ISO/IEC 15504
ISO(International Organization for Standardization)
IEC(International Electronitechnical Commision)
ISO, IEC joint subcommittee
SPICE is Capability Maturity Model(consisting of capability levels which in turn consist of the process attribute and further consist of generic practice)
The first versions of the standard focused exclusively on software development processes
expanded to cover all related processes in a software business(project management, configuration management, quality assurance, and so on)
- organizational, management, engineering, acquisition supply, support, and operations
The Technical Report (TR) document for ISO/IEC TR 15504 was divided into 9 parts.
The 7th part is currently in an advanced Final Draft Standard form[3] and work has started on part 8.
Parts Summary
Part 1 of ISO/IEC TR 15504 explains the concepts and gives an overview of the framework.
part 2 refers to external process lifecycle standards including ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15288.
Performing assessments is the subject of parts 2 and 3 of ISO/IEC 15504.[8]
Part 2 is the normative part and part 3 gives a guidance to fulfill the requirements in part 2.
The competency of assessors is the subject of part 3 of ISO/IEC 15504.
Process improvement is the subject of part 4 of ISO/IEC 15504.
ISO/IEC 15504 (Part 4) can also be used to inform supplier selection decisions.
Part 5 specifies software process assessment and part 6 specifies system process assessment.
The process assessment model (PAM) in part 5 is based on the process reference model (PRM) for software: ISO/IEC 12207.[12]
The process assessment model in part 6 is based on the process reference model for systems: ISO/IEC 15288.
The latest work in the ISO standards working group includes creation of a maturity model, which is planned to become ISO/IEC 15504 part 7
The International Standard (IS) version of ISO/IEC 15504 now comprises 6 parts. The 7th part is currently in an advanced Final Draft Standard form[3] and work has started on part 8.
