How We Actually Got Here
Back in 2020, I was consulting for a fintech startup in Seoul. Their app worked perfectly on the developer's MacBook, but customers couldn't complete transactions on older Android phones. Three weeks of emergency fixes later, they'd lost 40% of their user base.
That's when it clicked — most testing approaches miss the messy reality of how people actually use apps. Real users have full storage, slow connections, and they switch between apps constantly. They don't follow the happy path you mapped out in your user journey.
So we built OriginEvo around one simple idea: test apps the way real people use them, not the way developers hope they will.
