需要澄清有关开发者控制台上的Beta/alpha测试的信息 [英] Need some clarification about beta/alpha testing on the developer console

问题描述

Android开发者控制台具有3个选项卡，用于发布应用程序的apk文件: alpha，beta和产品，如下所示:

The Android developer console has 3 tabs for publishing the app's apk file: alpha, beta and production, as shown here:

正如我在一次Google IO讲座中所回顾的那样，在进行100％规模发布之前检查您的应用程序质量的一种很酷的方法是，仅允许一部分用户先下载该应用程序.我认为这称为分阶段发布"，因为如果发布太多问题以至于无法发布给所有人，则可以将其发布.

as I recall from one of Google IO lectures, one cool way to check how good is your app before making a 100% scale publishing, is to allow only a percentage of the users to download the app first. I think it's called "staged rollouts" , because you can rollout the publishing in case it had too many problems to be published to all.

1. 它们之间到底有什么区别，特别是Alpha和Beta之间有什么区别?

1. What is exactly the difference between them, especially between Alpha and Beta?

只有Play商店的人员可以进入制作阶段，对吗?

Only the production stage is available for people on the play store, right?

哪个/一个人只允许发布给特定的人/百分比，您以哪种方式进行发布?

which one/s allow to publish only to specific people/percentage , and in which way do you do it?

至少在测试阶段，哪个阶段允许进行应用内结算?我不明白为什么即使在上传应用程序之前我也无法对其进行测试.

which stage allows in-app billing, at least for testing ? I don't get why can't i test it out even before uploading the app.

采用百分比方法，如果我以相同的方式发布新的应用程序版本，那么它会为有幸安装前一版本的人首先进行更新吗?

in the percentage method, if I publish a new app version using the same way, will it first update for the people who were lucky enough to install the previous version?

推荐答案

要回答您的问题:

1.它们之间到底有什么区别，特别是Alpha和Beta之间有什么区别?

1.What is exactly the difference between them, especially between Alpha and Beta?

除了您只是从少量的测试人员开始进行alpha测试并切换到更大的beta版本之外，两者之间没有太大区别

There isn't much difference between the two aside from the fact that you just start with a small number of testers for alpha testing and switch to a bigger group for beta

2.Play商店中只有制作阶段的人可以使用，对吗?

2.Only the production stage is available for people on the play store, right?

默认情况下，Play商店仅提供制作版本.不过，您现在可以在Play商店页面中添加一个选项，供用户选择使用开放的Beta程序. 链接

By default, only production is available on the Play Store. However, you can now add an option in your Play Store page for users to opt into an open Beta program. Link

3.哪个/一个人只允许发布给特定的人/百分比，您以哪种方式进行发布?

3.which one/s allow to publish only to specific people/percentage , and in which way do you do it?

您可以同时做到这两个.要进行Alpha，Beta测试，您需要向其google +帐户中的用户发送邀请，以便他们可以访问您的应用并能够下载它.受邀者通常采用链接的形式，将他们定向到Play商店中的您的应用，只有在接受者接受邀请后，他们才能看到

You can do that for both. To do alpha,beta testing you need to send invites to people on their google+ accounts so that they can access your app and be able to download it. The invites is usually in the form of a link directing them to your app on the play store which is only visible to them after they accept the invite

4.至少在测试阶段，哪个阶段允许进行应用内结算?我不明白为什么即使在上传应用程序之前我也无法对其进行测试.

4.which stage allows in-app billing, at least for testing ? I don't get why can't i test it out even before uploading the app.

您可以同时进行Alpha，Beta版测试的应用内结算.检查链接: http://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_testing.html

You can do in-app billing for both alpha,beta testing. Check the link: http://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_testing.html

5.用百分比法，如果我以相同的方式发布新的应用程序版本，那么它会为有幸安装前一版本的人首先更新吗?

5.in the percentage method, if I publish a new app version using the same way, will it first update for the people who were lucky enough to install the previous version?

就我的经验而言，我已经看到测试人员比其他任何人都首先获得了该应用程序的更新.但是我不确定它是如何工作的.

As far as my experience goes, i have seen people who were testers get the update for the app first than everyone else. But i am not so sure about how does it work exactly.
