ISO 15504 Software Process Evaluation System

ISO 15504 Software Process Evaluation System


SPICE, the initials of the English Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination, is an international standard created to improve the quality of software processes. It is a standard established jointly by the International Standardization Authority and the International Electronic Commission (IEC). It is a standard based on sustainability that software engineers can handle software processes more easily. 

This standard can be expressed as information technology process evaluation. SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination) can be expressed as determining the software process development ability level. It is the result of the joint work of ISO and IEC organizations. 

Standard was first used as a Software Process Improvement Model in 1993. Later, it was called SPICE, which was formed by the abbreviation of English words in Software Process Improvement and Talent Assessment. The standard was aimed at software development in the first phase, then expanded to include project development, configuration management and quality assurance.

Process improvement is the first step for any organization that wants to have a process culture. All organizations are in the effort of change and process improvement is a work that must be planned and based on some basic data. Otherwise, it is likely to fail. The ISO 15504 standard, or more commonly known as the SPICE standard, is one of the most comprehensive process standards.

SPICE is defined as software process development capability level determination. The purpose of the SPICE model is to establish a common principle for different software process evaluation models and methods. In this way, a joint report is obtained for the evaluation results.

The SPICE model can be expressed as process evaluation in information technologies. This model is a standard developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). 

The generated reference model defines the basic objectives required for quality software engineering at the highest level. As a result, the software is applied to every software organization seeking qualification in terms of acquisition, development, operation and support. The reference model does not search for the company to have a certain structure, to have a certain management philosophy, and it is not based on a specific software technology or development methodology or software lifecycle model.
