Best practices
-
Conduct an initial quality assurance check by quickly distributing your app among up to 100 invited testers
-
We recommend running an internal test before releasing your app to the closed or open tracks. If needed, you can run internal tests concurrently with closed and open tests for different versions of your app.
-
Reminder: If you’re testing a paid app using an open or closed test, testers still need to purchase it. If you’re testing a paid app using an internal test, testers can install your app for free.
