I'm accustomed to the practice of having beta testers to whom you simply send the software you want tested. Obviously the more testers you have, the better the chances of finding bugs before release.

Last night I was reading about how iOS devices have to be registered as testing devices in Xcode and that (correct me if I'm wrong) they're linked specifically to a single developer account.

Q1) is this true for Android too?

Q2) is there a different way of beta testing software that I just don't see?

How do you guys do beta testing of your mobile apps?

Thanks,
Lindsay

For Android you can release Alpha and Beta releases via the Google Developer Console. So that your testers can access these releases you need to create a Google+ group or Google Group and get your testers to sign up. Once signed up, you give them a special URL to accept being a tester and then they can download the Alpha/Beta builds....

Or you can just give them an APK which they can install themselves ;)
