To our valued customers, thank you. Your continued partnership and feedback have made this achievement possible. We look forward to working together to drive your next wave of innovation and success.
As organizations grow, the complexity of their projects multiplies. Managing tens of millions of requirements and thousands of simultaneous users can strain legacy systems that persist in the market. For large enterprises, a requirements management platform must do more than just store information; it must scale effortlessly, perform reliably under pressure, and provide clear, comprehensive insights. Jama Connect is engineered specifically to meet these enterprise-level challenges, ensuring that your teams can innovate without being hindered by their tools.
The Enterprise Challenge: Scaling Without Compromise
In a large-scale environment, systems are constantly tested by the sheer volume of data and user activity. A platform might work well for a small team in a startup mode, but how does it perform with 1,000s of users accessing and modifying tens of millions of requirements? The risk of slowdowns, data conflicts, and system instability becomes a major concern. Large enterprises need a solution that guarantees high performance, data integrity, and a seamless user experience, regardless of scale and volume. Users that experience performance issues will often abandon the tool and find other means to complete their work. For a requirements management process, this effectively causes more work, introduces defects, and undermines the value of having a single source of truth. This frequently occurs in legacy requirements management tools with antiquated architecture that do not scale well.
Jama Connect addresses this with an architecture designed for high-volume, high-concurrency environments and dynamic scalability. It allows organizations to manage complex and large product development lifecycles effectively, from initial concept to final launch and beyond, ensuring that every team member is aligned and productive while enjoying a positive user experience.
Supporting Hundreds of Thousands of Users Simultaneously
One of the most significant tests for any enterprise platform is its ability to support a large number of concurrent users without performance degradation. Jama Connect is architected to handle this demand, allowing global teams to collaborate in real time. Whether it’s engineers in one country, testers in another, and project managers in a third, everyone can access and update requirements simultaneously.
This capability is crucial for maintaining project velocity. Delays caused by system lag or user lockouts can create bottlenecks and push timelines back. Jama Connect’s robust infrastructure ensures that as your user base grows, the platform remains responsive and stable. This allows teams to focus on their work, not on waiting for their tools to catch up.
Managing Billions of Requirements with Ease
Modern products, from medical devices to aerospace systems to autonomous driving vehicles, can involve millions of individual requirements, test cases, and risk analyses. Managing this volume of data is a monumental task. Jama Connect is optimized to handle large amounts of requirements and other related assets, allowing enterprises to centralize all their requirements in a single, organized repository.
The platform’s performance isn’t just about storage; it’s about accessibility and usability. Users can quickly search, filter, and analyze millions of items to find the exact information they need. This efficiency is vital for making informed decisions and ensuring that all project components are aligned with top-level goals. For example, the ability to create a detailed requirement traceability matrix or view remains fast and fluid, even with extensive data sets.
The Power of Live Traceability™ at Scale
Traceability is the backbone of compliant and high-quality product development. In an enterprise setting, maintaining this traceability across integrated toolchains can be incredibly complex. As data is created across the V model, the number of requirements grows exponentially, and so do the numbers of traces. Jama Connect simplifies this interoperability. The concept of Live Traceability is to provide a dynamic, real-time view of the relationships across your integrated tool chain. For example, when integrated with a tool like Jira or a modeling tool, it is essential to know when a user story or aspects of the model have been updated and how it impacts requirements in your requirements tool.
As one team member updates a requirement, the impact of that change is instantly visible to everyone else. This immediate feedback loop is essential for impact analysis. Before committing a change, teams can see exactly which downstream items will be affected, preventing unintended consequences and reducing rework. When the requirements tool is integrated with other systems in your toolchain, it is essential that this process be scalable in order to handle the level of change that occurs at enterprise scale, where tens of thousands of requirements and tests can be impacted by upstream change.
For an enterprise, downtime is not an option. Jama Connect is built on a modern, service-oriented architecture that delivers the performance, scalability, and reliability required for mission-critical projects. It is designed to integrate smoothly into existing enterprise IT ecosystems, offering flexible deployment options, whether on-premises or in AWS cloud.
This focus on enterprise-grade performance means that teams can depend on Jama Connect to be available and responsive when they need it most. Performance of the tool is measured “at the glass,” ensuring that the user experience is the main focus. The P75 load time for cloud hosted environments is under 3 seconds. The platform’s advanced architecture is optimized for handling complex queries and large data loads, ensuring that generating reports, conducting reviews, and navigating trace relationships is always a fast and efficient process.
The ultimate definition of scale is that user experience remains consistent regardless of the amount of data in the system. Jama Software’s focus on user-experienced performance proves that while managing billions of requirements, the user experience (measured via P75 load times) remains consistent and well within best practices. No other tool in the industry can make such a claim because no other tool in the industry combines the modern architecture and performance monitoring of Jama Connect.

Leverage AI to accelerate innovation while maintaining compliance and safety across consumer electronics (Right to Repair, ESPR) and industrial manufacturing (ISO 13849, IEC 61508)
BELOW IS A PREVIEW OF THIS WEBINAR. WATCH THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION HERE
TRANSCRIPT PREVIEW
Patrick Garman: Hi, and welcome, and thank you for joining us today to talk about AI-assisted engineering. My name is Patrick Garman, and I’m the Solutions Manager for Industrial and Consumer Electronics here at Jama Software. I’m here today to talk about the rise of AI in requirements management, what’s coming and what’s already here, and what do you need to know to prepare. And I’m also going to be joined by Katie Huckett, our product line manager for Jama Connect Advisor™ and AI for a chat about Jama Software’s point of view on AI and to answer some common questions. We all know AI has moved from theory to practice, and you don’t have to imagine tools that can, for example, analyze requirements against INCOSE rules and flag where they are out of compliance because Jama Connect Advisor already does this. But what if in addition to analyzing your requirements, AI could actually draft requirements and structured syntax, automatically generate verification plans, and keep traceability intact across the development lifecycle.
Maybe even take stakeholder text or regulatory language and translate it directly into models or requirements artifacts. And looking ahead, predictive AI, using AI to highlight gaps, surface risks, or conflicts between requirements before they turn into costly defects downstream. And again, all of this is either already happening or will be available very soon. Let’s think about AI-assisted requirements authoring, models that automatically generate draft requirements, and structured syntax like EARS that saves hours of work for your engineers because you are going to start with a set of draft requirements that can be based and pulled from your existing IP, your previous development efforts to kickstart new product development. Think about autonomous verification planning, using AI to suggest verification methods. Even write test cases with detailed test steps and coverage analysis directly linked to requirements. For example, our test case intelligence tool takes requirement statements and generates context-specific test cases with detailed test ups and links these automatically to requirements for traceability. And thinking of traceability, what about contextual traceability?
Garman: Think about an AI tool that can match requirements semantically, helping you uncover impacts you might not otherwise have discovered until later in the development cycle. Or consider maybe importing a large set of requirements from an external store and having Jama Connect suggest where there might be links to existing requirements, drastically reducing what is currently a very manual and, well, very important, often tedious process. Using natural language to construct models, so think about being able to translate stakeholder inputs or regulatory text into SysML or requirements artifacts automatically. This is already happening to write software code. You think of Git’s Copilot, where you can enter a plain language prompt for a function or code script and it will generate the code for you.
And again, taking that further to predictive analytics. So again, using AI to predict requirements conflicts or uncover requirements conflicts, uncover gaps, surface risks before they become downstream defects. Now let’s take a minute and talk about how is this going to impact consumer electronics and industrial manufacturing companies? Well, for consumer electronics, this is going to mean faster innovation cycles. Requirements can be captured, written, and connected more quickly so products get to market faster. AI can also monitor regulations like right to repair and ESPR and flag when requirements need updating. Finally, AI lets us mine customer reviews and support tickets for insights that automatically generate or update product requirements.
In industrial manufacturing, the benefits are really in handling complexity. AI can help decompose large systems of systems projects like commercial elevator systems, industrial robots into consistent requirement hierarchies. It can automate the generation of safety compliance artifacts for standards like ISO 13849 or IEC 61508. And by feeding back IOT and sensor data, AI can also help us to write predictive maintenance and after sales requirements. Ultimately, for requirements management, it means faster authoring and verification, proactive compliance tracking, better use of real-world data, and competitive differentiation through speed and quality.
Garman: So this all sounds great. And the good news is that, again, this is all either available today or will be very soon. So what do you need to know to be ready? Well, when we think about preparing for AI-assisted and autonomous engineering, the first thing to recognize is that data readiness is absolutely key. We all know the saying, garbage in, garbage out, and it’s maybe never been more applicable. AI is really only as good as the information that it has to work with. So that means our requirements, our traceability links and test evidence need to be structured, high-quality, and consistent. And companies that invest in clean, well-governed data models, the kind that are supported by Jama Connect, will be in the best position to take advantage. Second, and I can’t stress this enough, it’s important to keep in mind that AI is not a replacement for engineers.
It is an augmentation. Think of it like a copilot. It can draft requirements, review, and analyze gaps, but accountability still sits with the engineering team. There must be human overview and review of these requirements. And that brings us to governance and trust. So we need validation workflows to make sure that no AI-suggested requirement ever bypasses human review, and audit trails will need to clearly capture what was generated by AI versus what was authored or approved by humans. And we’re going to need new KPIs to measure the impact. For example, what percentage of requirements are drafted by AI versus humans? How much time did we save in verification planning? Are defect rates dropping because we are catching missed requirements earlier? And finally, there is a strategic advantage to being an early adopter.

How to Master Traceability in Medical Device Development
As an engineer in the medical device industry, you’re tasked with creating innovative products that are both safe and effective. However, this core mission is often overshadowed by the immense pressure of regulatory compliance and documentation. As technology advances and products get more complex, that task gets even more complicated. Managing traceability between thousands of requirements, risk items, and test activities can feel like a “paperwork” burden that pulls you away from what you’d rather be doing: designing and testing new products.
This article offers a practical guide to transform traceability from a time-consuming chore into a strategic advantage. We’ll explore how to build a robust traceability model that not only satisfies regulators but also helps you build better, safer products faster.
TL;DR: Stop treating traceability as an end-of-project scramble. By implementing a single source of truth with Live Traceability™, you can connect requirements, risks, and tests in real-time. A modern platform like Jama Connect® automates this process, helping you identify gaps early, reduce rework, and free up your team for more efficient product development.
The High Cost of Inefficient Traceability
When traceability is managed with disconnected documents and spreadsheets, it becomes a significant bottleneck. This manual approach is not just inefficient; it introduces substantial risks that can derail a project and kill the team’s morale. For complex medical devices, the consequences of poor traceability are severe:
Project Delays: Manually creating and updating traceability matrices consumes hundreds of hours, often at the end of a project that results in pushing back launch dates.
Compliance Risks: Incomplete or inaccurate traceability is a common reason for audit findings and can jeopardize FDA submissions and technical file reviews under the EU MDR.
Increased Rework: Without a clear line of sight between requirements and tests, design changes can have unforeseen impacts, leading to costly rework late in the development cycle.
Reduced Innovation: Engineers spend valuable time on administrative tasks instead of focusing on design, testing, and innovation.
The key takeaway: Treating traceability as a final-step documentation exercise is a high-risk strategy. The true cost isn’t just the time spent on paperwork, but the project delays, compliance failures, and missed opportunities that result from it. You can assess your own risk by taking a Requirements Traceability Diagnostic.
How-To: Best Practices for Ensuring Medical Device Traceability
To move from a reactive to a proactive approach, you need to integrate traceability into the fabric of your development process. Here are four actionable steps to make that happen.
Step 1: Establish a Single Source of Truth
The foundation of effective traceability is a centralized platform where all product development data resides. When requirements, risk analysis, and test cases live in a single system, you eliminate the confusion and errors caused by separate documents.
A single source of truth ensures that every team member—from systems engineering to quality assurance—is working with the most current and approved information.
Benefit: Creates consistency and provides a complete, auditable record of your design history.
Impact: Reduces miscommunication and errors, ensuring all teams are aligned.
Step 2: Implement Live Traceability™
A static, manually created traceability matrix is outdated the moment it’s finished. Live Traceability, in contrast, creates a dynamic, real-time map connecting every requirement to its corresponding risks and test cases.
With Live Traceability, you gain instant visibility into the health of your project. If a requirement changes, you can immediately perform an impact analysis to see which downstream requirements, risk mitigations, and test items are affected.
Benefit: Allows you to identify and address gaps in coverage early in the process.
Impact: Drastically reduces audit preparation time and minimizes the risk of missing critical connections.
Step 3: Integrate Risk Management into Your Workflow
For medical devices, traceability isn’t just about connecting requirements to tests; it’s about proving that every potential hazard has been identified, analyzed, and mitigated. This is a core expectation of standards like ISO 14971.
By managing risk within the same platform as your requirements, you can directly link risk control measures to the design requirements that implement them. This creates a closed-loop process that demonstrates comprehensive risk management.
Benefit: Ensures product safety is a continuous focus that woven into all project milestones, not a separate, check-box activity.
Impact: Builds a safer, more reliable product and provides clear evidence of compliance for regulators.
Step 4: Streamline Collaborative Reviews and Approvals
Formal design reviews are a critical part of the development process, but they can be slowed down by manual feedback cycles via email or comments in disjointed documents. A modern platform streamlines this with a dedicated review center.
This allows stakeholders to comment, vote, and approve items in a structured, collaborative environment. All feedback is captured in one place, creating a clear and permanent audit trail of every decision.
Benefit: Accelerates feedback loops and decision-making.
Impact: Ensures that all approvals are documented and traceable, strengthening your Design and Development File.
By providing a single platform with Live Traceability, integrated risk management, and collaborative review workflows, Jama Connect helps you build your traceability matrix as you work. This transforms it from a document you create at the end of a project into a powerful, real-time tool you use throughout the project.
Customer success stories highlight the impact. For example, Dexcom achieved a 60% improvement in systems engineering efficiency by using Jama Connect to manage its complex requirements. Similarly, Vave Health significantly reduced the time spent on traceability matrices, accelerating its development and path to FDA clearance.
The most important benefit: Jama Connect empowers engineers to focus on what they do best—designing and building life-changing medical devices—by turning the “paperwork” of traceability into an automated, value-adding process.
Q: What is a traceability matrix in medical device development? A: A traceability matrix is a document or table that demonstrates the relationships between user needs, design inputs (requirements), design outputs (specifications), risk control measures, and verification and validation activities (tests). While traditionally created in spreadsheets, modern solutions like Jama Connect provide Live Traceability, which is a dynamic, real-time view of these connections, making it far more accurate and less time-consuming to manage.
Q: How does traceability help with FDA and EUMDR compliance? A: Regulatory bodies like the FDA (under the new QMSR) and the EU (under MDR) require manufacturers to prove that their device is safe and meets all specified requirements. A complete traceability record is the primary evidence used to demonstrate this. It shows auditors that every requirement has been tested, every risk has been mitigated, and the entire development process was conducted under a state of control.
Q: Can we integrate Jama Connect with our existing engineering tools? A: Yes. Jama Connect is designed to serve as the central hub for requirements and risk management while integrating with other best-of-breed tools in your ecosystem, such as Jira, Azure DevOps, and various testing suites. This creates a connected toolchain that provides end-to-end traceability without forcing your teams to abandon the specialized tools they rely on.
Take Control of Your Traceability Process
Stop letting manual traceability processes create bottlenecks and introduce risk. By adopting an integrated approach, you can pass audits with confidence, accelerate your time-to-market, and empower your engineers to focus on innovation.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Mario Maldari: Hello. My name is Mario Maldari, and I’m the Director of Product and Solution Marketing at Jama Software. Today, we’ll be discussing how Jama Connect allows for co-development with partners while maintaining full control over access.
In a co-development scenario, you can share a Jama Connect project with your partner and utilize our granular permission to control access and information. You can also utilize our comprehensive Review Center and invite partners and stakeholders to participate in requirement reviews. Jama Connect is number one in enabling partner codevelopment. Thousands of engineers are already collaborating across companies today.
Some of the unique Jama Connect features that enable this collaboration are multi-tenant SaaS, no IT involvement required, centralized control of user administration and access rights, a comprehensive and collaborative reuse center, cross-company collaboration, including at mentions, subscribing, and chat streams. The Jama Connect Review Center is number one in partner codevelopment reviews.
Maldari: Some unique Jama Connect features of our Review Center are iterative review cycles with a dedicated work stream for early-stage peer reviews and final approval reviews, reviewer and approval role control, approval role delegation, related items included in reviews for context and completeness, a reviewer role at no added cost. This includes external partners, stakeholders, allowing for co-development and collaboration. In this video, we will explore how Jama Connect’s Review Center enables co-development with partners.
Arms-length relationships are moving to co-development to speed time to market. Only Jama Connect enables you to include partners in your development process and control their access. Let’s explore how this is achieved in Jama Connect today.
Any artifact or set of artifacts in Jama Connect can be sent to the Review Center. Let’s select a set of stakeholder requirements and create a new review. There are a number of options and configurations that can be selected according to your review process. Internal reviewers can be added as approvers or reviewers. External partners and stakeholders can also be invited to the review simply by adding their email address. They are provided a free license that allows them to participate in the review as codevelopers or partners.
Maldari: This allows for all review comments and sign-off from internal and partner teams to be kept in Jama Connect as a single source of truth. In this case, Jim, the project manager, will add Mario as an external stakeholder to participate in the review. Mario will receive an email with instructions and a link inviting him to participate in the review. He can simply click on the link and is able to see all of the requirements that are part of the review and comment, approve, or reject as appropriate. Here is the email that Mario has received from Jim Arlo inviting him to participate in the review. You can click on the link, open the review, and Jama Connect’s simple UI provides an easy way to go through each requirement and collaborate with the internal team. Requirements can be approved or rejected, and new versions of the review created based on updates and subsequent revisions.

Delivering high-quality, compliant, and complex products on schedule and on budget is never easy. Whether your hardware and software development teams are distributed globally or nationally, achieving the necessary alignment and coordination of work activities becomes a significant challenge. Engaging your supply chain presents even higher hurdles. This article provides practical insights into fostering effective team collaboration for distributed teams to ensure that your development projects remain on track and your corporate goals are met.
Unlocking Project Success with Structured Collaboration
Why is effective collaboration critical for distributed teams?
When teams operate in silos, the risk of miscommunication, delays, and budget overruns increases exponentially. Navigating different time zones, cultural nuances, and disparate toolsets can lead to information gaps and a lack of a unified project vision. Without a structured approach to collaboration for all internal and external teams, companies struggle to maintain the alignment and coordination necessary to meet aggressive deadlines and deliver products that satisfy customer and industry requirements. This challenge directly impacts your ability to innovate and compete effectively in the market.
How does ineffective collaboration jeopardize project success and regulatory compliance?
When teams aren’t communicating and coordinating, they often miss new or changed requirements or tests. This can lead to expensive rework to address quality or safety issues or project defects during development or product recalls or customer complaints after development. For companies in regulated industries such as medical devices, automotive, or aerospace & defense, these gaps can have severe consequences including failed audits and compliance that can prevent or delay delivery to customers. A lack of a centralized, auditable trail of decisions and reviews involving all necessary stakeholders makes it nearly impossible to prove due diligence which can put the entire development process at risk. Ensuring your teams are on the same page in adhering to standards and best practices is essential for navigating complex regulatory landscapes.
What tools centralize communication and streamline critical review cycles?
To overcome these hurdles faced by distributed teams, leading organizations adopt a centralized platform for requirements, risk, and test management that facilitates structured collaboration. Individual productivity tools such as email, documents, and spreadsheets are inadequate for managing the complexity of modern product development by distributed teams because they often result in conversation fragments and version control nightmares. A dedicated platform provides a single source of truth, ensuring every stakeholder contributing to the development process is working from the most current information. This centralization is the first step toward breaking down silos and fostering genuine team collaboration among distributed teams.
How does a platform like Jama Connect® foster seamless cross-function team collaboration?

“Product companies utilizing single-system engineering and management approaches may end up with highly complex and low-quality products, low productivity, high employee turnover, and less than expected customer satisfaction.” – ISO/IEC 26550:2015(E) (SSPL) Software and systems engineering — Reference model for product line engineering and management
Why Businesses Need Effective Variant Management
Variant management is a critical component of modern business strategy, especially in industries characterized by high variability and complexity. A well-structured approach to managing product variants can enable companies to respond efficiently to dynamic market demands, adhere to increasing regulatory constraints, and meet evolving customer needs.
The pressures businesses face today are numerous and interconnected. For instance, market demands have grown rapidly, with customers expecting highly customized products and shortened lead times. Without effective variant management, businesses risk falling behind competitors who are better equipped to deliver tailored solutions. Additionally, regulatory constraints, particularly in industries such as automotive and healthcare, require meticulous compliance that can only be achieved through streamlined product configurations and robust tracking mechanisms. Businesses must also grapple with changing customer preferences, which necessitate agility in the design and delivery of new product variants.
Data supports the notion that inefficient variant management can have severe financial and operational repercussions. Companies struggling with outdated or manual processes often see rising costs, delays in production, and errors in product delivery. For example, a case study in the automotive sector highlighted how poor variant management led to production bottlenecks, ultimately delaying vehicle deliveries and incurring significant reputational damage. Similarly, in the semiconductor industry, the inability to manage design variants efficiently increased engineering costs and time to market, diminishing competitive advantage.
Conversely, businesses adopting advanced techniques and tools for variant management have demonstrated remarkable improvements. The automotive industry provides a notable example, where companies leveraging advanced configuration systems reduced production errors and improved time-to-market metrics. Semiconductor companies employing automated design variation tools saw reduced development cycles, enabling them to remain leaders in innovation while containing costs.
Effective variant management is not just an operational necessity — it is an enabler of long-term strategic success. By addressing the challenges of market demands, regulatory compliance, and customer expectations with data-driven strategies, companies can secure both competitive and financial advantages in even the most complex industries.
Studies have shown that organizations leveraging robust variant management strategies can experience up to a 20% reduction in production time and a 15% decrease in overall costs, according to recent industry analyses. Furthermore, a survey conducted by Deloitte highlighted that 85% of companies implementing advanced variant management systems reported improved customer satisfaction due to better customization options and faster delivery times. These metrics underscore the tangible benefits of adopting data-driven approaches to variant management, emphasizing the critical role they play in enhancing operational efficiency and fostering innovation.
Effectively managing product variants requires overcoming significant challenges, especially in areas such as traceability, operational inefficiencies, and collaboration across teams. These obstacles can hinder innovation, escalate costs, and delay critical processes, ultimately impacting market competitiveness.
Mitigating Traceability and Quality Assurance Issues
Navigating the complexities of tracking changes across multiple product variants is critical. Without a centralized system, it becomes nearly impossible to maintain visibility and ensure quality across diverse versions. Version control gaps can lead to costly errors, regulatory challenges, or even safety risks, particularly in highly regulated industries. A robust variant management solution provides the tools to document and trace changes efficiently, ensuring comprehensive oversight for all stakeholders involved.
Streamlining Inefficient Processes
Inefficient processes not only increase time-to-market but also inflate development costs and risk inconsistencies that impact customer satisfaction. Leveraging a purpose-built solution ensures that all teams have access to aligned workflows and automated updates, creating a streamlined development cycle. Effective management reduces redundancies, accelerates decision-making, and enables a focus on delivering high-quality products faster.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT PREVIEW
Ronald Melster: Thank you very much for the warm introduction and thank you very much also for inviting me to today’s webinar. I am excited to be here with all of you and to share with you the information about this new standard ASQMS. So let’s get started and explore what the standard means for the automotive world and how we can best adapt to it. For those of you who don’t know me yet, my name is Ronald Melster. In the automotive world, I’m simply known as Ron. As one of Europe’s most experienced Automotive SPICE principal assessors, I have spent nearly three decades helping organizations transform their development processes. Since 2005, I’ve been guiding teams not just to achieve higher capability levels, but to truly understand the why behind effective processes. My journey began in the 1990s when I studied computer science in Berlin and Edinburgh, but I quickly discovered my passion for software engineering and processes. What started as a love for coding evolved into a mission to help teams balance structure with pragmatism.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with industry leaders like Bosch, Audi, Porsche, and Here Technologies. One of my biggest achievements was leading a Bosch development division with 7,000 engineers worldwide to capability level 3, proving that even larger teams can embrace systematic improvements. But here’s what I’ve learned. Assessments are not just about ratings. They’re about empowering people, building confidence, and creating sustainable change. Whether it’s functional safety according to ISO 26262, cybersecurity, or process improvement initiatives, I’m here as your mentor, coach, and sparring partner. Maybe you have heard the rumors about this new China standard and you want to learn more about it. You have come to the right place. Let’s start with the name of ASQMS, Automotive Software Quality Management System. That’s the full name of the standard, and yes, it’s a Chinese standard.
We will take that apart piece by piece in this webinar. So the first question is which body exactly published this ASQMS standard? And the answer is the Chinese Association of Consumer Products Quality and Safety Promotion, short CACPQSP. Say this three times. This body is dedicated to consumer rights and their safety and regulates consumer products, including cars. To promote this, they created the ASQMS standard and demand that each OEM selling cars in China needs to be certified according to the standard. So naturally, it applies to Chinese OEMs selling in China, and it also applies to European OEMs wanting to sell cars in China as well. And there’s more. The OEMs are required to request the certificate from their suppliers as well, so it also applies to any supplier tier two or tier one if they want to be part of the supply chain for cars sold in China.
Let’s have a look at why they created the standard and why we need another standard if we have Automotive SPICE or ASPICE. The reason for that is the dependency on software in the car. The complexity is growing rapidly. The number of technical and organizational interfaces gets bigger every day, and the cars increasingly rely on data coming from the outside. Let me share an observation with companies trying to reach capability level 2, according to Automotive SPICE. At the beginning of the project, the capability level is at a stable level 0. Then it takes one, or two, or even three years to get to level 1 and then to level 2. Then the project delivers the result and is finished. And the next project start again at level 0. I call this cycle the chainsaw or zigzag, up and down and up and down. It’s a huge waste of time and effort, and might have led to the ASPICE frustration, which we observed in networks like LinkedIn.
Melster: Why is that? Because the knowledge is not captured after the project in the company, nor is it standardized or rolled out. Only few companies have managed to establish a stable level 3 with a standard process according to ASPICE. Why can a project not start in a systematic way, aka level 2 or level 3, from the start of the project? This will also reduce the technical debt, which is built up every time a project starts from level 0. There are some of the reasons why this new standard was developed. We need a strong focus on software development. We need to include the software outside the vehicle, and we need to focus on the organization to provide standard process which is applied in each and every project in a similar way. And I might add that we need to take care of the software long after the initial development phase. In a world with rising cybersecurity issues, the software must be maintained and updated if new threats become known. Therefore, ASQMS includes the entire life cycle, including the termination of the software with a systematic deletion of all personal data.
Let’s talk about what’s inside the standard ASQMS and how it’s structured. The standard contains three kinds of requirements, which must be implemented by a company which wants to be certified according to ASQMS. The first one are basic practices, not base practices, but basic practices. They’re mandatory for all automotive development. The second kind of practices are advanced practices. They must be implemented by products which are safety or cybersecurity relevant. And the third type of requirements are recommended practices. They should be implemented by all software projects. The ASQMS standard follows a risk-based approach, which means that not all requirements, which are defined by the standard need to be implemented in each development program. For that, a classification is introduced, the two classes or types of software.
Type II is a software that carries a risk related to safety or cybersecurity, and type I is the rest of the software, which is not related to safety or cybersecurity. For type II software, the cybersecurity or safety-related, the basic practices are mandatory, and the advanced practices are mandatory. The recommended practices are recommended. For type I software, which are not as critical, only the basic practices are mandatory, and advanced and recommended practices are optional. ASQMS clusters the processes into three groups: operational processes, supporting processes, and system management processes. The operational processes include project management and the entire V-model with requirements engineering, architectural design, detailed design and implementation, unit verification, integration, and verification testing.
Apart from these well-known engineering processes, the following processes are defined as part of the operational processes: supplier management, software release, software deployment, software maintenance, user information management, and software termination. So there’s some overlap and some new processes. The supporting processes include some which we already know from Automotive SPICE like configuration management, problem resolution management, change request management, and of course, quality assurance. They even have the same process names. The basic practices may differ in some aspects. And some new supporting processes are introduced like documentation management, equipment and facilities, knowledge management, revenue management, and externally supplied products and services, which includes the management of free and open-source software.
Melster: With the system management processes, something completely new is introduced. They’re not to be confused with the system development processes, which we know from ASPICE. System here refers to the quality management system in the name of ASQMS. So it’s similar to ISO 9001, or ITF 16949, or an information security management system, which gets certified by TSACS. These processes include the scope and the context of the organization, the quality management system fundamentals like quality policies and roles, personnel management, performance evaluation, and the continuous improvement process. In this next section, I will highlight some of the key changes when we compare Automotive SPICE with ASQMS. The first one is the software, which is in the scope of the standard ASQMS. The requirements are not only mandatory for in-vehicle software, which many of us have known for a long time, but also for software outside the vehicle is in scope.
This includes any software in the cloud providing data to the vehicle or to an entire fleet. It furthermore includes any system along the roads, so-called roadside systems. Again, exchanging information with the car or even controlling the behavior of the vehicle. And it applies to the software tool chains which are used for software development and maintenance. The next important change is the lifecycle. Automotive SPICE development projects typically stop with the release of the finished software, whatever this means. The maintenance phase is usually left out or ignored, and really no one thinks about the termination of the software in an ASPICE project. This will change with ASQMS. The entire lifecycle of the software must be covered. This only starts with the initial development phase and must be continued with the ongoing maintenance of the software until the termination of the software. You might want to know, what is the termination more than switching off the software? Well, many software instances store data, oftentimes personal data, and this information must be securely deleted as part of the termination.
Many companies claim that they are ASPICE level 2 certified. However, this is not true. There is no such certification. What they have reached in most cases is a level 2 in one project at a certain time. So this does not apply to any other project in the same company without performing additional assessments, nor is the claim true in the future or after the assessment for the same project. So here’s the last key change I will talk about. ASPICE assessments are statements about projects at a certain point in time. This statement cannot be carried over to any other project in the company, nor is it valid in the future. ASQMS, on the other hand, focuses on the organization. This means that the organization must establish processes to fulfill the requirements and maintain them in each and every development project. This also includes internal auditing activities to make sure that all projects follow the defined rules and methods. And as I’ve mentioned earlier, it also includes processes to provide competence staff to the project. Only then will the company get the ASQMS certificate, which is published by an external auditor.
So what have we learned today about how ASPICE and ASQMS can work together? First, ASPICE integration. ASQMS will not replace Automotive SPICE. Instead, ASPICE can be used to show the conformance with the overall standard processes. And if you are already using ASPICE at the project level, these methods can be scaled to the entire organization using the approach of ASQMS. Second, both standards have shared goals. They’re built on the same fundamental principles, traceability, clear structure, and well-defined roles. Whether you’re working on a senior development project or managing quality across multiple teams, these core elements remain the same. And finally, ASQMS is extending the scope. Here’s where ASQMS goes beyond traditional ASPICE scopes. It adds organizational elements like leadership development, culture building, and personnel focus. The reality, ASPICE and ASQMS work as a partner, not competitors. Automotive SPICE gives you project-level excellence while ASQMS builds the organizational capability to sustain that excellence across all your software activities. Together, they create a comprehensive quality approach that works at every level.
