SPICE provides a set of documents, which are used as a
framework for the assessment of software process.
Organizations can use these documents in various phases of
production, for example in planning, managing, monitoring,
controlling and improving acquisition, supply, development,
operation, evolution and support of software.
Basically software process assessment examines the selected
processes whether they are effective in achieving their
goals, which is done by determining the capability of the
selected processes. This structured approach for software
process assessment helps an organization to improve its
processes or to determine its capability for certain
requirement, or to determine suppliers capability for
certain requirement.
Process assessment provides information of the capability of
the selected processes. Analysis results, from business
point of view, identify strengths, weakness and risks
inherent in the processes. By this, analysers are able to
determine whether the processes are effective, and to
identify significant causes of poor quality, or over runs in
time or cost. After recognizing these kinds of issues,
managers can prioritise improvements to processes .
Process capability determination analyses the proposed
capability of selected processes against a target process
capability profile. By this, it tries to find out the risks
involved in a project, if the project is run with the
analysed processes .
The document suite of SPICE contains nine different
documents, which can be used in process assessment. These
documents will be shortly described in the following sub
chapters.
SPICE documents from 1 to 6 mainly concentrate in addressing
various aspects related to process assessment. Other
documents, 7 and 8, address the use of process assessment
for process improvement or for process capability
determination. Document 9 acts as a vocabulary .
