   A project manager is deciding whether to use ASPICE, ISO 26262, or both for a new automotive project. The project involves a safety-critical system, and the customer requires evidence of both process capability and functional safety. What is the most appropriate decision?

   • AUse neither, because the standards are redundant and either one is sufficient.
   • BUse only ISO 26262, because it covers process capability as part of its safety lifecycle.
   • CUse only ASPICE, because it includes functional safety requirements in its process areas.
   • DUse both, because ASPICE provides process capability evidence and ISO 26262 provides functional safety evidence.

   A supplier is developing a camera-based driver assistance system. The customer requires both ASPICE capability level 2 and ISO 26262 compliance for ASIL B. The supplier wants to minimize redundant work. Which approach is most effective?

   • AFocus on ISO 26262 first, then map the results to ASPICE at the end.
   • BFocus on ASPICE first, then add ISO 26262 documentation later.
   • CDevelop separate sets of documentation for ASPICE and ISO 26262 to keep them independent.
   • DIntegrate safety-related work products from ISO 26262 into the ASPICE process areas and use the same evidence for both assessments.

   A test manager is integrating ASPICE and ISO 26262 for a project with a tight schedule. The team has limited resources and must produce test evidence for both standards. Which strategy is most efficient?

   • ACreate two separate test plans and assign different team members to each to parallelize work.
   • BPrioritize ASPICE testing, since it covers all necessary testing, and add ISO 26262 tests only if time permits.
   • CDefine a single test plan that maps each test activity to both ASPICE process areas and ISO 26262 verification activities, and reuse test cases where possible.
   • DPrioritize ISO 26262 testing, since it is more critical, and document ASPICE compliance retrospectively.

   A test manager is planning the verification activities for a safety-critical system. The project applies both ASPICE and ISO 26262. Which test activity is most likely to be required by ISO 26262 but not explicitly detailed in ASPICE?

   • ARegression testing after a change in requirements.
   • BIntegration testing of software and hardware components.
   • CFault injection testing to verify the system's response to random hardware faults.
   • DUnit testing of software components.
