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

  1. Step 1

    Create a closed test track

    Test and release → Closed testing. Upload a release to a new track or the default closed track.

  2. Step 2

    Tester list

    Add [email protected] under Testers (email lists). Without this, testers cannot see your app on Play.

  3. 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.

  1. Step 1

    Add app

    Dashboard → Add app. Fill in title, package name, icon, test link, and category.

  2. Step 2

    Google Group

    Select the shared group ([email protected]) or paste your own group’s invite link.

  3. Step 3

    Tester count and duration

    Android tests run for 14 days. The default target is 20 testers; cost is calculated from that.
