The management of software processes with software process improvement tool based on ISO 15504

Software processes are slowly penetrating the software development industry. The fact that software process has to be applied throughout the whole lifecycle of software development is particularly true for successful projects. Therefore, SPI (Software Process Improvement) is an ongoing activity throughout project duration. In this paper, we suggest process management system which is needed to assist SPI activities. To enhance the quality of software product, the proposed system supports internal assessors to conduct the gap analysis compliant with ISO IS 15504. Later, it has evolved as a process mentoring tool for developers, as well as SPI tool for software development organizations
