Android Alpha和Beta测试的差异/限制/规则是什么？

Question

我希望对我当前的Android应用程序进行预发布测试.

我对此测试的要求是: -

My Application must not appear in the Google Play Store or...
Only invited testers can see the Applications Play Store Page

Only invited users can participate in testing.

Testers do not have to have a gmail account.

Total number of testers < 10,000.

Testers are automatically contacted with download link.

根据我在Google网站上阅读(聊天)的内容,我选择在Alpha或Beta测试之间.

用于Beta测试

Open beta
Use an open beta when you want any user who has the link to be able to join your beta with just one click.
One of the advantages of an open beta is that it allows you to scale to a large number of testers.
However, you can also limit the maximum number of users who can join.

Closed beta
Using email addresses – If you want to restrict which users can access your beta, you have a new option:
you can now set up a closed beta using lists of individual email addresses which you can add individually
or upload as a .csv file. These users will be able to join your beta via a one-click opt-in link.

Closed beta
with Google+ community or Google Group – This is the option that you’ve been using today, and you can continue
to use betas with Google+ communities or Google Groups. You will also be able to move to an open beta
while maintaining your existing testers.

Beta几乎满足了我的所有要求,但我不能允许我的应用程序在Play商店中搜索,我不想要求我的测试人员拥有/使用Gmail帐户,因此Beta测试已经完成.

所以我唯一的选择是阿尔法.

我仍然不清楚可用的Alpha测试的"味道".

如果我必须手动分发Alpha应用程序链接,为什么要上传电子邮件列表？

上传的电子邮件列表有什么用途？

上传的电子邮件列表是否用于控制对Alpha apk的访问？

我可以运行1000个测试人员的Alpha测试组.

Answer 1

据我所知，如果没有Google帐户，就无法邀请用户进行测试（但是可以在没有GMail地址的情况下创建Google帐户）。此外，alpha（内部）测试仅适用于 100 人，封闭 beta 测试仅适用于 2,000 人。因此，我认为不可能对 10,000 个具有任意电子邮件地址的用户进行封闭测试。
