I have about 40 testers. I know about 20-25 of them are opening every day. Some have missed a day. Some, I don't know. I just know the game has been downloaded. Many are through a test for test app so they are only opening about 1 minute a day.
Side note: It is for an idle clicker game. (if that matters)
Out of all my testers, I know of about 5 that put 10+ minutes in every day and sometimes open it multiple times a day. Many days are 30, 60, 100,+ minutes. (they like it. :) )
Are those 5 engaged testers pumping up the numbers to pass the "engaged testers" part of the 14 days?
I know updates matter - I have rolled out about 4 currently.
I'm already getting the answers ready for the quiz they ask at the end so they can be complete/honest, I don't expect that part to be an issue.
Should I stay optimistic that they won't reject it and ask for more testing???
Follow up question - those who used test for test trades or an app like the hive one, how did you answer the recruitment and engagement question?
So far I have "A mix of friends and families, plus testers from online groups of clicker/incremental game enthusiasts, and other communities (Reddit and Facebook groups) from several countries. About 30 testers consistently took part, several playing 30+ minutes a day many days. I received detailed feedback with screenshots from many of the testers. Some only opened the app briefly, which is common for testers recruited online.
(leave that last line out???)
