Abstract
Nowadays becoming competitive is a critical challenge for organizations and software process improvement is an obvious and logical way to address this increasing need in the software industry, unfortunately not all software process improvements have the expected results, because of the lack of knowledge on how to do it and the lack of support available for organizations specially SMEs. This paper presents a state of art of research focused on software tools which help organizations in performing a successful implementation of software process improvements initiatives.
