Thesis Abstract
Software process assessments are currently being conducted by organisations using de facto
assessment standards such as ISO/IEC 15504, ISO 9001, CMM and BOOTSTRAP. These
assessment standards require practical tools and support mechanisms to enable them to be
effective and efficient in their execution. This thesis is a study of the functional composition of
such automated tools and investigates the viability of creating mappings between the software
process models that would allow the assessment data to be translated between models. The result
is a model for creating automated assessment tools and a methodology for using data mappings to
translate and compare assessment data between software process models in these assessment
tools.
