18 Years Strong: Manao Software Becomes Thailand’s First ISTQB® Gold-Certified Software Company

Manao Software, a leading Thai software development company, is proud to mark its 18th anniversary by becoming the first and only company in Thailand to achieve ISTQB® Gold Partner status. This internationally recognized certification reflects the company’s longstanding commitment to software quality, reliability, and professional standards.

Founded in 2007 by Danish entrepreneur Christopher Mosses, Manao Software began with a clear vision: to build a company rooted in technical depth, integrity, and practical excellence—not driven by trends or short-term growth. Over the years, it has grown steadily to nearly 120 full-time professionals based in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, serving clients locally and around the world.

Unlike many fast-scaling or freelance-reliant tech firms, Manao Software has invested in long-term talent development, structured project management, and a company culture that prioritizes quality assurance at every stage of development. The company has built a reputation for being dependable, transparent, and easy to work with—qualities that continue to resonate with clients looking for a stable and trustworthy software partner.

The ISTQB® Gold Partner status, granted by the International Software Testing Qualifications Board, is awarded to organizations that demonstrate a high level of commitment to structured software testing and quality control. For clients, this certification signals that Manao Software adheres to global best practices, ensuring that the software delivered is secure, well-tested, and fit for purpose. 

“Achieving ISTQB® Gold certification reaffirms the standards we’ve upheld for 18 years,” said Christopher Mosses, CEO and Founder of Manao Software.
 “It reflects our commitment to delivering quality, transparency, and long-term value in every project.”
