Software process assessment and improvement is widely acknowledged as one of the most important means for achieving competitive and effective software industry. To ensure the production of quality software, companies usually adapt software process standards and go through certifications based on their process capability. The goal of our study is to assess the current state of software process practice in the country in order to determine their process performance and process capability. To achieve this, we conducted a process assessment study of 7 software companies following the METvalCOMPETISOFT assessment methodology. Our findings reveal process areas such as configuration management, software quality assurance, and software maintenance which require more attention for process improvement. Furthermore, the findings help in understanding the organizations’ current software engineering practices and identification of strengths, major weaknesses and key areas for software process improvement.
