ASPICE SUP.8 Configuration Management

Overview

Elaborate ASPICE SUP.8 work products: configuration management plan, baselines, and status records for Automotive SPICE (VDA PAM 4.0).

Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the ASPICE SUP.8 Configuration Management skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

Example Conversation

You: We need to document our configuration management plan and baselines for SUP.8. We use Git for code and a doc repo for requirements and design; we don’t have a formal change control process yet.

Agent: I’ll help you elaborate SUP.8 work products. I need: (1) Which work products are configuration items (e.g. requirements, design, code, plans); (2) How you define baselines (e.g. requirement baseline, design baseline, release); (3) How changes are requested and approved (e.g. change request form, CCB, or lightweight approval). I can draft a CM plan and a change request template.

You: Configuration items are all SYS/SWE work products and the project plan. Baselines at requirements, design, and release. We use a change request form and the project manager approves.

Agent: I’ve created configuration-management-plan.md with configuration items, baselines (requirements, design, release), and the change control procedure (request → impact → approval by PM → implement → verify). I’ve added baseline-contents.md as a template to record what is in each baseline when you create it, and configuration-status.md for change history. I’ve also added a simple change request template (CR-ID, description, impact, decision, implementation). Want me to prefill the current baseline contents from your workspace?

Validation

This skill does not include extension tools. Validation is performed by following the Validation checklist in the skill workflow: configuration management plan defines configuration items, baselines, and change control; baselines have recorded contents; change requests are recorded with decision and implementation status; configuration status is maintained.
