Recently, the qualification of Capability Maturity Model(CMM) which is a dominant standard for improving software process productivity has drawn much attention as a critical competitive factor in software organizations. In order to prepare the qualification a lot of cost and time are typically required；it is important to make more economic efforts to minimize such resources of companies for the preparation. Therefore, this paper proposes a Web－based support system, CLAS(CMM Level Assessment System) to help companies which have interests in acquiring CMM qualification or even just improving their processes. This system contains an assessment survey tool based on enablers required to achieve the requirements of CMM, so can provide practical guidelines to help prepare the CMM qualification effectively.
