Software Factories provide a faster, less expensive, and more reliable approach to application development by significantly increasing the level of automation in application development, applying the time-tested pattern of using visual languages to enable rapid assembly and configuration of framework-based components. Software Factories go beyond models as documentation, using highly tuned Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and the Extensible Markup Language (XML) as source artifacts, to capture life cycle metadata, and to support high-fidelity model transformation, code generation, and other forms of automation.
