Real Projects, Real Improvements

Testing software isn't glamorous work. But when we find that bug causing checkout failures at 2am, or identify the memory leak slowing down your dashboard—those moments matter.

Here's what happened when businesses in Thailand brought us their software headaches.

The examples below reflect actual client projects from January 2024 through March 2025. Details have been adjusted to protect confidentiality, but the challenges and results remain accurate.

What They Came To Us With

Payment Processing Failures

An e-commerce platform losing transactions during peak hours. Their internal team couldn't reproduce the issue consistently. Customers were complaining, revenue was leaking.

Mobile App Crashes

A logistics company's driver app would freeze mid-delivery. Drivers were losing route data, customer satisfaction dropped. The development team was overwhelmed trying to patch issues.

Database Performance Degradation

A SaaS company's application slowed to a crawl as customer data grew. Reports that used to take seconds were timing out. They needed to understand why before customers started leaving.

Where Things Ended Up

Transaction Success Rate Improved

We identified a race condition in their payment gateway integration. After fixes were deployed, failed transactions dropped from 8% to under 0.5% during high-traffic periods.

App Stability Restored

Found three critical memory leaks and one unhandled exception in GPS handling. Post-fix, crash rates went from daily complaints to fewer than one incident per thousand deliveries.

Query Performance Optimized

Discovered inefficient indexing and several N+1 query patterns. After database restructuring and code optimization, report generation times decreased by 78%.

Four Projects Worth Mentioning

Their checkout process worked fine in testing but failed intermittently in production. We spent two weeks analyzing user session data and server logs. The culprit? A third-party analytics script that occasionally blocked form submission on slower connections.

After implementing asynchronous loading and adding fallback handling, they stopped losing customers at the final step.

6.2% Checkout completion increase

Drivers reported the app would freeze when switching between delivery stops. The dev team couldn't replicate it in their office tests. We tested on actual routes—turned out the issue only appeared in areas with spotty network coverage.

Poor offline data handling was causing the freezes. Once we helped them implement proper local caching and sync protocols, drivers stopped cursing their phones.

89% Reduction in app crashes
Dec 2024 Project completed

Their dashboard loaded fine with small datasets but became unusable as customer accounts grew. Every query was pulling entire datasets instead of paginating properly. Plus, they had no database indexing strategy.

We documented the performance bottlenecks and provided specific optimization recommendations. Their team implemented the changes over six weeks. Now the platform handles accounts with millions of transactions without breaking a sweat.

4.2s → 0.5s Average load time
Jan 2025 Project completed

Their leave request workflow had a subtle bug—approved requests would occasionally disappear from the system. It took us three weeks of database forensics to find it: a race condition when managers approved multiple requests simultaneously.

The bug only appeared under specific timing conditions, which is why it evaded their QA process. After we identified the exact code path, their developers fixed it within days.

What Actually Moves The Needle

After working through dozens of debugging projects, certain patterns emerge. Not every software problem needs a complete rewrite—most need careful investigation and targeted fixes.

Finding Issues That Hide In Plain Sight

The trickiest bugs are the ones that don't appear in controlled testing. They show up when real users do unexpected things—like hitting the back button mid-transaction or using your app on a 3G connection in a moving vehicle.

We test in conditions that mirror reality, not just ideal scenarios. That's where the meaningful problems live.

Performance Problems Sneak Up Slowly

Your app works great with 100 users. Then you hit 1,000. Then 10,000. Suddenly queries that took milliseconds are timing out. This isn't a failure of your initial development—it's just what happens as systems grow.

We look specifically for scalability issues before they become emergencies:

  • Database queries that haven't been optimized for larger datasets
  • API endpoints that pull more data than necessary
  • Memory leaks that compound over extended use
  • Caching strategies that no longer match usage patterns

Documentation Makes Future Work Easier

When we find issues, we document everything—not just "what's broken" but the full context. Why does this bug appear? What triggers it? What are the downstream effects?

Good documentation means your development team can implement fixes confidently, without needing us to explain everything twice.

How We Work Through Problems

Every project is different, but our general approach stays consistent. We're methodical because software debugging requires it—jumping to conclusions wastes everyone's time.

1

Understanding Context

Before touching any code, we learn how your system actually gets used. Who are your users? What are they trying to do? Where do things break down?

2

Reproducing Issues

We recreate the problem conditions. If it only happens in production, we test with production data (securely). If it's intermittent, we run it repeatedly until we can trigger it consistently.

3

Root Cause Analysis

This is where we dig deep. What's the actual source of the problem? Not just the symptom, but the underlying cause. We trace through code, analyze logs, and test hypotheses.

4

Documenting Findings

We write up everything we've learned—the bug details, why it happens, and specific recommendations for fixing it. Clear documentation helps your team implement solutions efficiently.

5

Verification Testing

After fixes are implemented, we verify they actually work. We test the original problem scenario plus edge cases to make sure the solution holds up.

6

Knowledge Transfer

Before wrapping up, we walk your team through what we found and how to prevent similar issues. The goal is to make your system more maintainable long-term.
