A company is developing a new electric vehicle platform. The platform includes both safety-critical systems (e.g., braking) and non-safety systems (e.g., infotainment). The company wants to apply a consistent development process across all systems while ensuring safety for critical ones. Which approach is most appropriate?

Use ASPICE for non-safety systems and ISO 26262 for safety systems, with no common framework.

Use ASPICE as the common process framework for all systems, and apply ISO 26262 only to safety-related systems.

Use a custom process that combines elements of both, ignoring the original standards.

Use ISO 26262 for all systems, since it covers the entire lifecycle and ensures safety.

A company is developing a new autonomous driving system. The system is highly complex and involves both safety-critical and non-safety components. The company wants to ensure that the development process is mature and that safety is managed effectively. Which combination of standards is most appropriate?

Apply ASPICE only to software components and ISO 26262 only to hardware components.

Apply neither, since autonomous driving is too new for these standards.

Apply ISO 26262 to the entire system, since it covers the whole lifecycle.

Apply ASPICE to the entire development process and ISO 26262 to the safety-related components.

A test team is working on a project that applies both ASPICE and ISO 26262. They need to create a test strategy that satisfies both standards. Which action is most aligned with an integrated approach?

Use ISO 26262 test processes for all testing and ignore ASPICE, since ISO 26262 is more detailed.

Create separate test plans and execute them independently to avoid interference.

Map ISO 26262 safety validation activities to the ASPICE validation process and include safety-specific test cases in the corresponding test levels.

Use ASPICE test processes for all testing and ignore ISO 26262, since ASPICE covers all necessary testing.

What is the scope of ISO 26262 in terms of the vehicle lifecycle?

From concept phase to decommissioning

Only the concept and design phases

Only the software implementation phase

Which of the following is included in the scope of ASPICE?

System and software development processes

Only the final vehicle assembly line

Only the marketing and sales processes

Only hardware manufacturing processes

Objectives of ASPICE and ISO 26262 CT-AUT Practice Questions (Page 4)

Part of the Standards for the testing of E/E systems domain, which makes up ~44% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 60-minute exam (~25–40 total, ~11–18 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 33 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
