TestHive is a real-human app testing platform built for Google Play Closed Testing. Indie developers post a 14-day campaign and TestHive matches 12 verified testers within hours. Testers get paid in T-Coin (cash) or Karma (free economy). Every campaign ends with a signed test report you can attach to Play Console.

How do I find 12 testers for Google Play Closed Testing?

On TestHive you post one campaign with your APK package name and TestHive routes it to 12 real human testers who run your app for 14 consecutive days. No friend recruiting, no Reddit begging, no Telegram swaps. Testers are escrow-paid only after they complete the 14 days.

Yes — new TestHive accounts get 170 Karma at signup, which is exactly enough to fund one full 12-tester × 14-day campaign. You can also buy T-Coin starting at $10 = 1000 T-Coin for paid campaigns with higher-priority recruitment and PayPal payouts to testers.

Does TestHive guarantee passing Google Play Closed Testing?

TestHive guarantees real humans running your app daily and a signed test report. If a tester drops off during the 14 days, TestHive auto-tops-up a replacement so you keep the 12 active testers required by Play Console. The signed report is the artifact Google Play Console reviewers look for.

How is TestHive different from other beta testing services?

TestHive ships closed-testing as a workflow, not a directory. Every campaign is escrow-backed before recruitment starts, testers get daily check-ins to prove activity, and the platform produces a finished report at the end — not just a list of email addresses.

Can I earn money as a tester on TestHive?

Yes. Sign up as a tester, complete 14-day campaigns, and TestHive pays you in T-Coin (cash, withdrawable to PayPal) or Karma (used to publish your own campaigns). Earnings depend on campaign tier and your reputation level.

Does TestHive support mobile game playtesting?

Checklist akses produksi Google Play (2026)

Apa arti "akses produksi" di tahun 2026

Untuk akun developer Google Play pribadi, akses produksi adalah izin untuk menerbitkan aplikasi Anda secara publik. Sejak akhir 2023, Google mengharuskan Anda membuktikan pengujian nyata terlebih dahulu: 12 penguji unik, masing-masing aktif selama 14 hari berturut-turut, pada jalur Closed Testing.

Checklist, secara berurutan

Sebelum Anda mulai

Akun developer Google Play Console (pribadi), biaya pendaftaran sudah dibayar
App bundle (.aab) sudah diunggah dan ditandatangani
Konten aplikasi, formulir keamanan data, dan listing toko sudah dilengkapi
Jalur Closed Testing sudah dibuat di Play Console

Rekrut dan jalankan pengujian

12 penguji unik sudah siap (akun Google asli, dapat memasang aplikasi Anda)
Penguji sudah ditambahkan ke jalur Closed Testing (daftar email atau tautan opt-in)
Setiap penguji memasang versi pengujian
Setiap penguji membuka aplikasi setiap hari selama 14 hari berturut-turut
Satu penguji cadangan siap sedia jika ada yang mundur

Verifikasi dan ajukan

Pastikan 12 penguji tetap aktif sepanjang 14 hari (tidak ada rangkaian yang terputus)
Simpan catatan aktivitas harian / laporan pengujian
Ajukan akses produksi di Play Console
Jawab pertanyaan pengujian + audiens dengan jujur
Tunggu tinjauan dari Google

Bagian yang paling diremehkan oleh kebanyakan developer

Merekrut 12 penguji itu mudah. Menjaga 12 penguji tetap aktif selama 14 hari berturut-turut adalah bagian yang sulit — satu hari yang sepi akan mereset persyaratan. Bangun redundansi dan lacak aktivitas harian, bukan hanya pendaftaran.

Bagaimana TestHive memangkas bagian yang sulit

TestHive menyediakan 12 penguji manusia terverifikasi dalam hitungan jam, melacak check-in harian dengan bukti tangkapan layar, otomatis mengganti siapa pun yang mundur dalam 24 jam, dan menghasilkan laporan pengujian yang dapat diverifikasi untuk Anda lampirkan pada pengajuan akses produksi — sehingga persyaratan 14 hari terpenuhi dengan bersih pada percobaan pertama.
