Google Beta Testing For Succesful Android App

 This is not a unknown aspect and a very important factor for the successful android app at the same time this is most neglected factor most of the time But this is some way connected to rejection of the app in the platforms or getting rejected by the audience 


The importance of google play beta testing cannot be put in words,so we brillmindz one of the best mobile app development companies in dubai are listing out the process of doing the google beta testing of apps step by step and also the benefits of google beta testing 




First lets start with how beta testing works

We all have experienced how flexible is the android system for developing the apps,it is same with the google’s beta testing they offer a lot of flexibility


First stage 

You should carefully choose the testing methods out of a lot and some of the testing methods are


Open Beta Testing

In this method one can build the huge community of testers,these testers can review the app and give a feedback in this method any user with link to the mobile app can become the beta tester A open release of the app is tested with the large group of testers here and creating the large groups of testers in one of the added advantage of open beta testing 


Closed beta testing

Here you share a pre release version of the app with the large set of testers Here there would be a default track named alpha as the initial closed test,additional closed track and the track names can be created

In the closed beta testing,if there is a group of testers testing the app that has been already published before only those ie the users in the testing group would only receive the update for the closed version


Internal testing

In this method you can start segregating the testing process of a app for the quick internal testing 

 When you have published any of the testing methodologies mentioned above for the first time then testers will have to wait for some time to get the appropriate test link and if there is update in between it would take longer for the test link to get generated


Second stage 

Creating the release 

There would be detailed instructions that you will have to fallow once you have set the preferences right

If you want the testing to be done of different countries you will have to choose the navigate to distribute app release option and choose the specific country,this can be done for the alpha beta tracks 


Third stage 

Sharing the optin link with the users 

In this stage the optin link will be generated only once the app is published the app with the tag of publish pending or under the review wont be getting the optin link

After the app gets published then you click on the optin link and you can get the link to optin and test 


Stage four

Receive the feedback

After the testers installing the app they should be notified to use the test version with in few minutes after installing the app.Those who are performing the beta tests are not allowed to review of the google play store so it is better to create a CTA channel for the feedback

But if you have chosen the open test then you can allow the testers to leave the review on the google play store 


Finshing the test 

You will have to sign in to the play console navigate to release management and the app releases, expand the manage testers card , end the test option would be available and after finishing the test there would be no updates but the app will be still installed in the device 


To remove the closes test track select the deactivate test 

To end any of the test methodologies select remove testers option


This would end up the test and now lets start discussing the benefits of them 

It not only allows you to test the android apps but also allows you to test the updates for the app that you have built,by this you will be able to know how important the update is if there is a good feedback then you can go and roll out the app, in other side you can always have the scope for enhancement based on the reviews

It helps you to identify the hidden bugs much before the app launch and giving it the sufficient time to rectify them

The best part is you get to know what more the user wants from the app and that can be done through the feedbacks 


Conclusion

The above blogs make the importance of the beta testing of the mobile apps clear and it is always better to get associated with one of the best mobile app development companies in dubai since it requires a experienced team to handle the testing of any sorts

What are the things to avoid while creating the mockup apps?

  The next step is having a rough picture of how it will look and work after you find out what you want your app to do and who you want it to be for. For this, with all the buttons and as much text as possible, you create a mockup, a black and white outline for all of the screens in your app. Final mockups should be performed by a specialist, but in this post, you will get off to a good start with the template. It will help you to understand how the app converts from a word-formulated idea to a smartphone design formulated on screens. In the screen-to-screen interface in which it will actually be viewed, you will get to see how your app looks. You may see items that look fantastic and decide to add a few more, or you may see that there is not enough space on the screen to add all the buttons and features that you want. A mockup is a perfect tool for testing your own design objectively. You can discover that your definition is simply not feasible. The best way to illuminate the prob...
