Our Testing Story

Seven years ago, we started StreamOnCoder because we kept seeing the same problem everywhere. Great software projects would stumble right before launch, not from bad code, but from rushed testing processes that missed what users actually needed.

Why We Do This Work

Back in 2018, our founder worked at a startup that spent eighteen months building what they thought was the perfect inventory system. The code was clean, the features were impressive, and the demos looked great. But when real users got their hands on it, everything fell apart.

Store managers couldn't find basic functions. The workflow that made sense to developers felt backwards to people actually running inventory. Critical edge cases nobody had considered started breaking the system during busy periods.

That experience taught us something important — great software isn't just about writing good code. It's about understanding how real people work, what they need, and making sure the final product actually helps them do their job better.

Today, we coordinate user acceptance testing for development teams across Taiwan and the broader Asia-Pacific region. We bridge the gap between what developers build and what users actually need.

How We Approach Testing

Real User Focus

We recruit actual end users, not just internal testers. When testing a restaurant POS system, we work with servers and managers who've dealt with Friday night rushes. For logistics software, we find warehouse supervisors who know what happens when inventory gets complicated.

Structured Process

Every testing cycle follows a clear framework we've refined over hundreds of projects. We document everything, track patterns across different user types, and provide development teams with actionable feedback they can actually implement before launch.

Context Matters

We test in realistic conditions. Office software gets tested during normal business hours with typical interruptions. Mobile apps get tested on older devices with poor network connections. We find problems that only show up in real-world use.

The People Behind Our Process

Our team includes former software developers, UX researchers, and business analysts who understand both technical requirements and user needs. We've learned that effective testing coordination requires people who can communicate clearly with developers while staying focused on user experience.

Elena leads our testing coordination efforts. She spent five years as a business analyst before joining StreamOnCoder in 2020. Her background helps her spot disconnects between technical specifications and business requirements that often cause problems during acceptance testing.
