## Description

TestNest — reciprocal app testing for Google Play closed testing<br><br>Meet real testers and help each other ship. TestNest connects Android developers who need testers for Play’s closed testing requirements with peers who need the same—so you test their app, they test yours, and everyone gets closer to release with less guesswork.<br><br>WHY TESTNEST<br>Google Play’s closed testing rules call for genuine testers over a multi-day window. Small teams often can’t find enough people on their own. TestNest is built so developers can coordinate swaps in one place: clearer timelines, shared expectations, and a community that understands the process.<br><br>WHAT YOU CAN DO<br>• Discover apps that need testers and offer your help—or find people to test yours through the marketplace<br>• List your own app and manage what you’re testing from a single home base<br>• Track the 14-day closed testing window in one dashboard so you always know where you stand<br>• Follow timelines and testing flows designed around how teams actually run closed tests<br>• Upload proof of meaningful testing when it’s required (including screenshot-based flows; on Android, usage-based verification may be available where supported)<br>• Chat with testers to coordinate swaps, timing, and questions—no more scattered DMs across five apps<br>• Get notifications so you don’t miss requests, updates, or messages that affect your release date<br>• See your testing stats at a glance: apps you’re supporting, testers you’ve connected with, and progress toward the 14-day goal<br><br>WHO IT’S FOR<br>Indie developers, small studios, and anyone publishing on Google Play who needs structured, peer-to-peer testing. TestNest is a coordination tool—not a substitute for reading Google Play Console guidance and your own legal or policy obligations.<br><br>GETTING STARTED<br>Sign in, explore the marketplace, submit or join testing, watch your stats and timeline, and use chat when you need to align with other testers. Use proof and verification features when your process requires documentation of real use.<br><br>POLICIES AND EXPECTATIONS<br>Requirements from Google can change. Always follow the latest instructions in Google Play Console and official documentation. TestNest helps you organize people and proof; compliance remains your responsibility.<br><br>Thank you for testing with the community.
