Interest in ISO 26262 Certification and/or A-SPICE for GitLab
Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.
While this issue has been aggregating a lot of general interest in the topic overall, we are specifically seeking to know if customers and partners are interested in GitLab obtaining formal ISO 26262 Certification for a Tool Qualification Level. Then you could download a certificate and purchase our safety manual for inclusion in your ISO 26262 Product program for the purpose of:
- Easing your tool qualification burden for your own ISO 26262 program.
- Easing your procurement process if it carries preference for Safety Certified products.
Please respond in regard to whether GitLab having a formal certification helps you out.
Proposal
GitLab is being asked by customers and partners whether we intend to pursue ISO 26262 Part 8, Clause 11 Tool Qualification Level certification.
A-SPICE does not directly support certifying tools used to achieve A-SPICE - but an ISO 26262 certification would certainly send a signal that a tool is suitable for A-SPICE validation and attestation.
This issue exists so that GitLab Sales, GitLab Customers and GitLab Partners can express their need for this and how it would positively impact their ability to leverage GitLab in any ISO 26262 software development they do with GitLab.
It is helpful to leave some detailed notes in any upvotes - about positive impacts of having this certification to a implementations or actual experienced impacts to not having it.
