Testing Groups

The testing group feature is used to manage and organize testers. Different versions of applications can be distributed to specific groups based on testing needs, such as OS versions, features, devices, and more.

The testing groups feature allows for the definition of various groups for different audiences. For instance, in an enterprise, groups such as testing team, marketing, management, and other functional groups can be created. For an app developer, testing groups can be created for customers and apps. This enables streamlined management of binary sharing flows. Apps can be sent manually to these groups, or different distribution profiles can be associated with different groups for automatic distribution.

You can list, add, edit and manage your groups and testers from this module.

Click on the orange + button to create a new testing group. You can name groups according to your needs, such as "Alpha," "Beta," and so on. After typing the name of the new testing group, press enter to create it.

After a new testing group is created, tester email addresses can be added to the group. The input box at the top of the page should be used to enter the email address, and pressing enter will add it.

A list of your testers will now be displayed. Testers can be selected and deleted as needed.

Also by clicking on the edit button next to your testing group name from the list, you can rename, duplicate or delete your testing group if you need to.

Managing Unsubscribed Users​

When re-sharing the app with users who have previously unsubscribed, you can seamlessly re-engage them.

This action automatically removes them from the unsubscribed list, allowing them to receive emails once again.

A prominent orange warning message confirms the successful re-subscription process, ensuring a seamless experience.

info

If a user who has previously unsubscribed is included in a test group, they will not be re-subscribed when sharing with the test group.
