Google Play closed testing: open your app for testing
From Play Console closed test setup to adding your app on TestDaş — listing rights, credits, and step-by-step settings.
About 6 min read
What do you need first?
You need a new app on Google Play (or one that has never reached production). At least one release must be published on the closed testing track.
To list on TestDaş you need either enough credits or a listing voucher earned from 3 completed tests.
- Play Console account and app registration
- Signed AAB / APK for closed testing
- Shared group: [email protected]
Closed testing in Play Console
Step 1
Create a closed test track
Test and release → Closed testing. Upload a release to a new track or the default closed track.
Step 2
Tester list
Add [email protected] under Testers (email lists). Without this, testers cannot see your app on Play.
Step 3
Country / language
You can keep target countries broad during testing; if your app is single-country only, see the dedicated guide.
The group link on TestDaş alone is not enough — you must add the same group in Play Console too.
Add on TestDaş
After listing is approved, your app appears in the pool. Fill rate grows as testers join; track progress from My Dashboard.
Step 1
Add app
Dashboard → Add app. Fill in title, package name, icon, test link, and category.
Step 2
Google Group
Select the shared group ([email protected]) or paste your own group’s invite link.
Step 3
Tester count and duration
Android tests run for 14 days. The default target is 20 testers; cost is calculated from that.
