This tool demonstration paper presents CERTICSys as a software platform to fully support process assessment using CERTICS Methodology. CERTICS is a methodology for assessment and certification of software resulting from technological development and innovation carried out in Brazil. A CERTICS assessment examines the process performed to develop and commercialize the software. CERTICS Process Assessment Method follows ISO/IEC 15504 Standard. It is composed of six phases: Exploration, Agreement, Preparation, Visit, Validation and Conclusion. CERTICSys is a web based software platform that supports all six phases. CERTICSys uses a Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) with a Business Process Management Suite (BPMS) that implements the assessment method. Java and Java Script are used in the client-side. This set of technologies and software tools are fully implemented in a cloud infrastructure.
