Hi everyone,

I built a tool called Closed Test Pro to help solo devs and small teams manage the "12 testers for 14 continuous days" requirement for Google Play production access.

We all know the struggle isn't just getting 12 installs; it’s getting real testing . Google evaluates whether testers are actually using the app, not just keeping it installed. Using forums or chat groups often results in "ghosting" users install, open it once, and never return, which hurts your engagement metrics and risks your production application.

I built this platform to solve the "real testing" problem by enforcing a structured exchange system.

How it works This is a Test-for-Test + Day-for-Day system. It is designed to ensure mutual accountability.

Daily Enforcement Logic: The system tracks "daily testings ," not just installs. If a tester skips a day of testing others, their own app is paused from receiving new activity credits until they resume. This ensures the testers you get are motivated to stay active for the full 14 days.

Quality Control (Anti-Farming):

Emulator Blocking: The app strictly blocks emulators to ensure all testing happens on real physical devices.

Device IDs: We prevent multiple accounts on the same device to stop users from farming credits without real testing.

Transparency: You can view a breakdown of how many unique testers opened your app each day, as well as install/uninstall stats.

The Requirement (Please read) The platform is 100% free, but it is not effortless. To prevent leeching, you must test at least 12 other apps to get 12 testers . This ensures that every app on the platform gets guaranteed, active testers. It is a community effort, not a "set it and forget it" service.

Stats (Past 2 Months) 600+ Developers joined

I hope this helps anyone currently stuck in the closed testing loop.

Feedback is welcome specifically on how we can further improve the "Testing" to even better.
