Clause 6.1, "Introduction"
The purpose of this process assessment model is to support assessment of process capability within the automotive domain using the process measurement framework defined in ISO/IEC 33020.
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.1]
Clause 6.2, "Process assessment model scope"
The process scope of this process assessment model is defined in the process reference model included in chapter 3.1 of this document. The Automotive SPICE process reference model is satisfying the requirements of ISO/IEC 33004, clause 5 as described in Annex A.2.
The process capability scope of this process assessment model is defined in the process measurement framework specified in ISO/IEC 33020, which defines a process measurement framework for process capability satisfying the requirements of ISO/IEC 33003.
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.2]
Clause 6.3, "Requirements for process assessment models"
The Automotive SPICE process assessment model is related to process capability.
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.1]
This process assessment model incorporates the process measurement framework specified in ISO/IEC 33020, which satisfies the requirements of ISO/IEC 33003.
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.2]
This process assessment model is based on the Automotive SPICE Reference Model included in this document.
This process assessment model is based on the Measurement Framework defined in ISO/IEC 33020.
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.3]
The processes included in this process assessment model are identical to those specified in the Process Reference Model
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.4]
For all processes in this process assessment model all levels defined in the process measurement framework from ISO/IEC 33020 are addressed.
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.5]
This process assessment model defines
the selected process quality characteristic;
the selected process measurement framework;
the selected process reference model(s);
the selected processes from the process reference model(s)
in chapter 3 of this document.
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.5 a-d]
In the capability dimension, this process assessment model addresses all of the process attributes and capability levels defined in the process measurement framework in ISO/IEC 33020.
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.5 e]
Clause 6.3.1, "Assessment indicators"
NOTE: Due to an error in numbering in the published version of ISO/IEC 33004 the following reference numbers are redundant to those stated above. To refer to the correct clauses from ISO/IEC 33004, the text of clause heading is additionally specified for the following three requirements.
The Automotive SPICE process assessment model provides a two-dimensional view of process capability for the processes in the process reference model, through the inclusion of assessment indicators as defined in chapter 3.3. The assessment indicators used are:
Base practices and output work products
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.1 a, "Assessment indicators"]
Generic practices and Generic resources
![]()
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.1 b, "Assessment indicators"]
Clause 6.3.2, "Mapping process assessment models to process reference models"
The mapping of the assessment indicators to the purpose and process outcomes of the processes in the process reference model is included in each description of the base practices in chapter 4.
The mapping of the assessment indicators to the process attributes in the process measurement framework including all of the process attribute achievements is included in each description of the generic practices in chapter 5.
Each mapping is indicated by a reference in square brackets.
[ISO/IEC 33004, 6.3.2, "Mapping process assessment models"]
Clause 6.3.3, "Expression of assessment results"
The process attributes and the process attribute ratings in this process assessment model are identical to those defined in the measurement framework. As a consequence, results of assessments based upon this process assessment model are expressed directly as a set of process attribute ratings for each process within the scope of the assessment. No form of translation or conversion is required.
