Testers
Testers is a web app where Google Play developers exchange tests of their applications. You join other developers’ apps as a tester and, in return, the community tests yours during the closed testing period Google Play requires before you can release it.

Getting testers on your own is exhausting
Before publishing on Google Play you must pass a closed test with real testers. Gathering them on your own is the biggest obstacle for most developers.
- ✕You need at least 12 real people to install your app and keep it for 14 days straight.
- ✕Asking friends and family rarely reaches the number or the consistency Google requires.
- ✕Informal exchange groups are chaotic, slow, and unreliable.
- ✕Every day without testers is another day away from launching your app.
What is this platform for?
To publish an app on Google Play, a developer must gather a minimum number of real testers who try it for several days before it can launch. Getting those testers on your own is hard. Testers solves that with a community exchange: you test other developers’ apps and, in return, you get the community to test yours. A fair exchange that speeds up the approval of your apps.
