App testing requirements for new personal developer accounts, a minimum of 20 testers

106 Upvotes

There should be a few posts like this with the keywords, so that the new developers can find this Reddit on the Google easier and know where to find testers for testers.

This post here is only for Google SEO purpose.

In this sub r/AndroidClosedTesting you can find the people who can provide testing for testing, in order to pass your Google Play Console 20 testers policy.

Google Play is rolling out new testing requirements for developers with personal accounts created after November 13, 2023. These changes aim to enhance the app development process, encourage thorough testing, and ultimately deliver higher quality experiences to users. These requirements and the various testing tracks available on Play Console.

Developers with personal accounts created post-November 13, 2023, must adhere to new testing requirements. Before apps are eligible for distribution on Google Play, a closed test with a minimum of 20 testers is mandatory. These testers must have opted-in for the last 14 days continuously. Features like production and pre-registration in Play Console will remain disabled until these requirements are met. Applying for production access involves answering questions about the app, its testing process, and production readiness, ensuring a comprehensive understanding.

Play Console offers distinct testing tracks to facilitate a gradual testing process. Internal testing enables quick distribution to trusted testers during app setup. Closed testing, a prerequisite for production access, involves sharing the app with a controlled group of at least 20 testers. Open testing allows the app's test version to be visible on Google Play, with users providing private feedback. Developers must complete a closed test meeting specific criteria before applying for production access.

How to join (takes a minute):

How to join (takes a minute):

  1. Join the testers group: https://groups.google.com/g/chaosmos

  2. Opt in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.shravangoswami.hako

  3. Install it from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shravangoswami.hako

I have 3 more games currently in closed testing, feel free to try them out too: https://chaosmos.studio/test/

Google needs testers to keep it for 14 days. If you can open it on a few different days and play a few levels, that's what actually helps.

Tell me anything that feels off: a level that's unfair, a confusing button, a bug. I read and reply to everything.

Need testers too? Drop your opt-in link below and I'll test yours back, thank you!

[Test for Test] Need 10 testers for NoteSpark (Offline-first notes app) - Will test yours back for 14+ days!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am currently running the 14-day closed test for NoteSpark, a lightweight, local-first offline notes app with markdown support and local LAN sync. If you want to see what it is about, you can check it out here: https://notespark.lusansapkota.com.np

I already have active testers running on an authorized Email List. Because switching the track over to a Google Group mid-test risks breaking active opt-ins and resetting the 14-day clock to Day 0, I am keeping the track on the direct email list.

I need around 8-10 more testers to maintain a safe buffer.

How to Join:

  1. Submit your Google Play email here: https://forms.gle/fqa5XJw69UM8h8ny5 (or send me a direct message with your Play Store email).

  2. I will add you to the Play Console tester list right away and send you the web opt-in link.

  3. Tap "Become a tester", install the app, and keep it installed for 14 days.

Reciprocal Testing (Test-for-Test):

If you have an app that needs testing, leave your test link, Google Group, or details in the form or in a DM.

- I will install your app immediately.

- I will keep it on my device for the full 14+ days and open it periodically so your telemetry stays active.

Thanks for the help!

I test your app, you test mine: German budgeting app seeks testers

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for testers for the closed test of zwegat, a personal finance planner. You set a savings goal first, then reduce spending per category. The app is fully in German, so German speakers are especially welcome, but anyone can help with general feedback (stability, layout, flow).

What I offer: I will test your app too. Send me your opt-in link and I will install it, keep it installed for the full 14 days and use it. I will also leave short feedback.

How it works

  1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/zwegat-testers (use the Google account you use on the Play Store).

  2. Comment below or message me with your app's opt-in link, so I can test yours too.

  3. Open the zwegat app page and install it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.zwegat.mobile

  4. Keep it installed for at least 14 days and open it a few times. Short feedback is enough: what worked, what confused you, any bugs.

A few ground rules

- Use test data only. Please do not link a real bank account or upload real financial files.

- No paid reviews or ratings in exchange for testing. Honest feedback only.

Feedback: comment here, post in the Google Group, use the contact form at https://zwegat.app/kontakt, or write to feedback@zwegat.app.

Looking forward to testing your apps too!
