Closed Testing vs Open Testing on Google Play: What's the Difference?
Understand the key differences between closed and open testing on Google Play, and when to use each.
Closed Testing
Closed testing is what you need to fulfill Google's requirement for new developer accounts. Testers are invited and it counts towards the 14-day rule.
Open Testing
Open testing allows anyone to find and join your test. It does NOT count toward the 14-day requirement.
