Building in Quality: How 7Factor Engineers Approach Security
At 7Factor, we believe security isn’t a checkbox. Quality code naturally leads to secure systems. That’s because our core engineering values make security a result of how we work, not just what we test.
It begins with the first commit and carries through every stage of development. Our engineers don’t wait until the end to hand things off to QA; testing is built into every step. That means our software is resilient, reliable, and secure by design.
Every engineer at 7Factor owns quality; it’s engraved in how we think and build. Security testing is not a separate step but in our daily workflows. Automated tests, code reviews, and peer validation ensure every system we deliver meets a higher bar because that’s our baseline. And we don’t stop at security. Performance, usability, scalability, and maintainability all matter just as much, ensuring our software meets the high standards expected from our teams and clients.
By thinking holistically about testing, we catch potential issues early from subtle bugs to design flaws. That proactive mindset minimizes surprises later and leads to software that’s not just robust, but dependable through every release and stage of growth.
Why It Matters
Integrating testing into development accelerates delivery and keeps systems safe from the start. We don’t go back to check for security because it’s already there.
For clients in regulated or high-risk industries, built-in assurance is critical and nonnegotiable. One security gap can cause massive delays, financial loss, or even reputational damage. But beyond cost, it affects your engineers. A strong, secure system can mean the difference between a late-night crisis or a peaceful evening to enjoy time with a loved one. That peace of mind matters just as much as uptime.
The 7Factor Way
For us, security isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about writing quality code. Our engineers focus on clean, testable, transparent code that stands the test of time. By embedding quality into everything we do, we deliver software that grows with our clients, supports their long-term goals, and upholds the highest standards of reliability.
It’s software you can trust, without the heart-dropping moments.
Looking Ahead
Testing continues to evolve, and so do we. (Check out our AI blog to see how we’re approaching AI) Staying ahead means asking not just “Does it work?” but “Is it secure? Is it scalable? Will it endure?”
By sharing our approach, we hope to inspire teams to think beyond bugs and checklists and to embrace testing as a mindset for building better, safer software.
