Although Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is well known adopted by many software development organizations in present, the effort of the continual CMMI assessment is extremely exhausted. Even though previous research effectively raises the efficiency for the continual CMMI software process improvement (SPI) assessment, the assessment artifacts of document types or tool-based summarized data types as the assessment evidence still needs the manual aggregating by collecting and checking. It requires an automatic capability for aggregating assessment artifact, instead of the manual aggregation. Accordingly, an object-oriented approach is utilized in the study to analyze and design the assessment evidence auto-aggregating system that can automatically collect and check the assessment evidences of document type or tool-based summarized data type as the work product resulted from the implemented process of the assessment organization units or projects is developed. Furthermore, a related system prototype is constructed and demonstrated to illustrate the practically operational scenario and procedure. It shows the usability, effectiveness and the helpfulness of the assessment evidence auto-aggregating. Through the supporting of the proposed system, a significant amount of the effort of the assessment preparation for assessment evidence aggregating can be largely reduced, therefore facilitate the execution of the assessment in considerable resource and time saving.
