Abstract
It is commonly accepted that the quality of a product depends on quality of a process. So, many industrial companies have put effort to improve their software processes, which are mainly based on CMMI or SPICE in automotive industry. However, these processes do not pay attention to safety-related dedicated issues. We propose in this paper an instrument that allows performing a SPICE assessment as well as a safety assessment regarding the ISO 26262 recommendations. The major benefit of our proposal is that it allows focusing on assessing software by both development process quality and product quality approaches.
