Testing Infrastructure That Actually Works
We've built testing environments that handle real complexity. Not just simple apps — actual enterprise systems with databases, integrations, and all the messy parts that break during user acceptance testing.
Built for Taiwan's Business Reality
Most testing setups fall apart when you throw real user behavior at them. We learned this the hard way working with manufacturing companies in Tainan who needed systems that could handle shift changes, multilingual interfaces, and integration with legacy equipment.
Our infrastructure isn't pretty — it's practical. We use containerized environments that can spin up exact copies of production systems, complete with data that mirrors what your actual users will encounter. No sanitized test data that makes everything look perfect.
When a food processing company needed to test their new inventory system, we replicated their entire workflow including barcode scanners, temperature sensors, and the old DOS-based system they couldn't replace yet. That's when we found the real issues.
How We Actually Set Things Up
Real projects need more than theory. Here's what we do when a company brings us their testing challenges.
Environment Mapping
We document every system your users touch. Not just the main application — the printers, scanners, network drives, and third-party tools they switch between. Most testing failures happen at these connection points.
Data Replication Strategy
Test data that looks nothing like production data catches nothing. We create realistic datasets with the same volume, complexity, and edge cases your users deal with daily. Including the messy data that shouldn't exist but does.
Load Balancing Reality
Your system behaves differently when 50 people use it simultaneously versus 5. We simulate actual usage patterns — morning rush, lunch breaks, month-end processing. Performance issues surface quickly under realistic load.
Recovery Planning
Things break during testing. That's the point. But when critical business functions depend on these systems, we need backup plans. We design rollback procedures that work under pressure when deadlines loom.
People Who Understand Complex Systems
Building test infrastructure isn't just about technology. It requires understanding how people actually work, where processes break down, and what happens when systems fail at 2 AM.
Darrin Kjeldgaard
Infrastructure Lead
Spent eight years keeping manufacturing systems running across three continents. Now applies that same reliability mindset to testing environments. Believes the best infrastructure is the kind you never notice.
Seren Wickström
Systems Integration
Makes systems talk to each other even when they speak different languages. Has connected everything from 1990s AS/400 systems to modern cloud APIs. Speaks fluent troubleshooting.
Margot Dąbrowska
Performance Engineer
Finds bottlenecks before your users do. Started her career optimizing database queries for Taiwan's largest logistics company. Now predicts system behavior under stress with scary accuracy.
Legacy System Integration
Many Taiwan businesses run critical operations on older systems that can't be easily replaced. We create testing environments that bridge old and new technologies without disrupting daily operations.
Recent Projects:
- Connected Oracle ERP system to modern e-commerce platform
- Integrated barcode scanners with cloud inventory management
- Bridged AS/400 payroll system with new HR portal
- Synchronized POS terminals with online order processing
Multi-Language Environment Testing
Taiwan's multilingual business environment creates unique testing challenges. We replicate systems that handle Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English simultaneously without character encoding issues.
Complexity Areas:
- Database collation settings across different languages
- PDF generation with mixed character sets
- Email systems handling multiple encodings
- Report formatting with variable text lengths
High-Volume Transaction Processing
E-commerce and financial systems need to handle traffic spikes during festivals and promotional periods. We simulate load patterns specific to Taiwan market behavior.
Load Scenarios:
- Chinese New Year shopping surge simulation
- Single's Day promotional traffic spikes
- End-of-month payroll processing loads
- Festival period concurrent user management
