Capability level 0. According to the ISTQB Certified Tester, Automotive Software Tester (CT-AUT) Study guide, Capability Level 0 in software Integration testing is characterized by the statement: "Define the objectives for the execution of the process." This involves understanding the objectives of the process, planning for the necessary resources, and defining the activities that need to be performed in order to achieve the desired outcome. Additionally, it involves setting up the test environment and creating the necessary test data.

Given this, the standard for higher ASlLs usually recommends more extensive and detailed measures. According to the ISTQB Certified Tester, Automotive Software Tester (CT-AUT) study guide, the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) is a key factor in determining the necessary testing techniques and test types. Depending on the determined ASIL, the ISO 26262 standard recommends different test design techniques and test types, as well as more extensive and detailed measures for higher ASILs. Additionally, the standard also differentiates between five different degrees of recommendation, ranging from "not at all suitable" to "recommended".

In principle, automotive SPICE® has two dimensions: the process dimension and the process capability dimension. The processes in the process dimension are based on the ISO 12207 that has been extended and modified with automotive-specific additions.

The Capability dimension is defined in Automotive SPICE®. Automotive SPICE® is a model for the assessment and evaluation of software process capability in the automotive industry. The Capability dimension provides a description of the capability level of the software process, which is determined by the process capability maturity level (CMM) and the process capability level (PCL). The Capability dimension includes aspects such as the definition of processes, the availability of resources, the measurement and analysis of processes, and the improvement of processes.

There are four ASILs identified by ISO 26262―A, B, C, and D. ASIL A represents the lowest degree and ASIL D represents the highest degree of automotive hazard.

When the tester is engaged in the release process, they are typically expected to produce several work products, including an insulation recommendation. This document provides a summary of the results of the tests conducted and provides an overall assessment of the test results. The insulation recommendation should include an assessment of the quality of the tested product, details of any critical or major defects detected, and any other relevant information. The insulation recommendation should also include any proposed changes or improvements to the software that could be made to increase the quality of the product.

According to Automotive SPICES® 3.x, traceability is the ability to trace the relationship between two or more elements of the system. This includes traceability between requirements, test cases, test logs, and test results. With complete traceability, it is possible to trace test cases to their corresponding requirements and trace test cases which have been executed back to their corresponding results. This ensures that the system meets the requirements and that all tests have been carried out correctly and consistently.
