Summary:

• **What is a Software Factory?** A software factory is like an assembly line, but instead of making cars or toys, it makes computer programs. Just like a real factory has workers doing different jobs to build products faster and better, a software factory uses special tools and processes to help programmers write code more quickly and with fewer mistakes.

• **Why Do We Need Software Factories?** Software factories help companies create programs in a more organized way, similar to how factories make things more efficiently. By having a clear system and using automation (letting computers do repetitive tasks), teams can focus on the creative and important parts of building software while the factory handles the routine work.
