MARES-A Methodology for Software Process Assessment in Small Software Companies

Most software process assessment models and standards focus principally on medium and large companies, complicating their effective and efficient application in small software companies due to their specific characteristics and limitations. This article provides an overview on the MARES methodology being developed in order to support software process assessment in small organizations in conformance with the international standard ISO/IEC 15504. The methodology is based on our experience on assessing various small brazilian software companies. This work has been realized with support of the CNPq, an entity of the Brazilian Government directed to scientific and technological development.
