What are Software Factories?
Software Factories consist of specialized tools, processes, and other assets, such as patterns, architectures, frameworks, templates, requirements, test cases, and deployment topologies; that encapsulate the business and technical knowledge of specific problem domains. For example, a Software Factory for the health care industry might consist of tailored modeling tools for designing health care solutions, process guidance that explains and guides developers through the unique aspects of the health care industry, and architectural frameworks that provide common base classes for health care solutions. Such a Software Factory will automate the rote and menial tasks a developer must perform in order to build health care solutions, freeing them to apply their creativity and experience to finish the project.
