Catch Bugs Before Your Users Do

We teach software teams to find critical issues in days, not months. Our hands-on debugging workshops have helped 47 companies in Taiwan prevent costly production failures since 2023.

How We Actually Teach Testing

Most testing courses dump theory on you and call it a day. We built something different after watching too many developers struggle with bugs they could've caught earlier.

Week One: Break Everything

You'll work with real codebases that have actual bugs hiding in them. Not toy examples—code that shipped to production and caused problems. We start by showing you what failure looks like and why it matters.

Weeks Two-Three: Build Your Debug Toolkit

This is where you learn the techniques that separate good testers from great ones. Stack trace analysis, memory profiling, race condition detection. Each session focuses on one skill until it becomes second nature.

Week Four: Fix Real Client Problems

Partner companies bring us their toughest bugs. You'll work in small teams to diagnose and resolve issues that stumped their internal teams. Some participants find problems worth thousands of dollars in prevented downtime.

Beyond: Ongoing Support

After training ends, you join our alumni network. Monthly code review sessions, priority access to new materials, and direct messaging when you're stuck on something tricky at work.

What Changes After Four Weeks

Look, we can't promise you'll become a testing wizard overnight. But here's what actually happens when people commit to the program.

  • Participants typically identify 3-5 critical bugs in their first week back at work—issues that would've reached production
  • Testing time drops because you know where to look instead of checking everything randomly
  • Code review discussions get more productive when you can articulate exactly what might break
  • Teams report catching integration issues during development instead of after deployment
  • You develop a sense for which parts of code need extra attention based on complexity patterns

One participant from a fintech company found a data corruption bug three days after finishing training. The kind of bug that only shows up under specific load conditions. Saved their team from a potential regulatory nightmare.

Lead Testing Instructor

Who's Teaching This Program

Vera spent eight years debugging payment systems at scale before she started teaching. She's the person companies call at 2 AM when money's moving wrong and nobody knows why.

What makes her effective as an instructor is simple: she's broken enough systems to know every common failure mode, and she's fixed enough critical bugs to explain them clearly. No theoretical nonsense—just practical knowledge from someone who's been in the trenches.

Her workshops starting September 2025 focus heavily on pattern recognition. She'll show you the same bug manifesting in ten different ways until you can spot it instantly. Students say her debugging demonstrations feel like watching a detective solve cases.

Concurrency Issues

Race conditions, deadlocks, and timing problems that only appear under load

Memory Analysis

Finding leaks, understanding allocation patterns, and preventing crashes

Integration Testing

Catching problems where systems meet before they affect users

Production Debugging

Diagnosing live issues without causing more problems

Next Training Cohorts

We keep groups small—maximum 12 people per session. The autumn 2025 program runs September through October, with evening sessions twice weekly to accommodate working professionals.

Applications for September 2025 open in June. If you're dealing with bugs that keep escaping to production, or you want to level up your debugging skills before they become a problem, get in touch.
