A software supplier is developing a body control module that is not safety-related. The customer requires a process assessment to ensure the supplier's development processes are capable. Which standard is most appropriate to use?

Both ASPICE and ISO 26262, because they are always required for any automotive software.

ISO 26262, because it covers the entire lifecycle and ensures safety.

Neither, because process capability is not relevant for non-safety systems.

ASPICE, because it assesses process capability of software development processes.

A quality manager is explaining to a new team member why the company uses both ASPICE and ISO 26262. The team member asks: 'If we already have ASPICE, why do we need ISO 26262?' Which response is most accurate?

ASPICE ensures our development processes are capable and repeatable, but it does not define how to achieve functional safety; ISO 26262 provides the safety lifecycle and requirements for safety-related systems.

ASPICE is only for software, while ISO 26262 covers hardware and mechanical components, so we need both to cover the whole vehicle.

ASPICE is a certification standard, while ISO 26262 is a process improvement model, so they serve different purposes.

ASPICE is required by customers, while ISO 26262 is required by law, so we need both to comply with regulations.

Which of the following best describes the purpose of ISO 26262?

To define a process for achieving functional safety in road vehicles

To specify the mechanical strength of automotive components

To certify that a vehicle is free from all possible failures

To provide a rating system for vehicle crash tests

What is a common practice when integrating ASPICE and ISO 26262 testing activities?

Testing only the software, not the system

Performing all testing before requirements are finalized

Using a single test plan that addresses both process and safety requirements

Creating separate test teams for ASPICE and ISO 26262

Which of the following is a key focus of ISO 26262?

Safety-related systems in road vehicles

The aesthetic design of the vehicle interior

All non-electronic components of a vehicle

The fuel efficiency of the engine
