About TesterGround

Indie developers build alone.They don't have to test alone.

Thousands of new Android apps launch every day.

Behind many of them are independent developers working through the same problems.

TesterGround exists to help those developers find each other.


A lot of apps. A lot of developers solving similar problems.

  • 2,500+every daynew Android apps every day
  • 75,000+every monthnew Android apps every month
  • ~2Mon Google Playapps on Google Play

Every app is different.

But the people building them often run into surprisingly similar problems.


What if more of those developers were connected?

One developer needs testers for onboarding. Another wants honest feedback on a new feature. Someone else just solved the problem another indie is stuck on.

Indies rarely have a dedicated QA team or large waiting community. Collectively, though, we have something just as useful:

apps to test, devices to test them on, experience to share, and problems we can help each other solve.

That is the idea behind TesterGround.


Build. Test. Learn. Improve.

  1. BuildTurn an idea into something people can use.
  2. TestPut it in front of other developers and real devices.
  3. LearnGet feedback from people who understand what it takes to build a product.
  4. ImproveTake what you learned into the next build.
  5. Launch

And when another developer reaches the same stage, help them do the same.


We're starting with Android app testing.

Google Play closed testing creates a very practical problem for independent Android developers: you need real people to test your app.

TesterGround makes it easier for developers to find each other, test each other's apps, exchange useful feedback, and keep the process organized.

But testing is only the beginning.

We want TesterGround to become a place that makes building as an indie developer a little easier.

A place to:

  • find people who can test what you're building
  • get useful feedback before launch
  • learn from other indie apps
  • discover how other developers solve product problems
  • use practical tools and guides throughout the release process
  • help another developer when you have experience to share

Not another giant developer network.

Not a marketplace full of services to buy.

Just a useful place for independent developers building real things.


Make indie development a little less lonely — and a lot more practical.

Building an app can still be a solo project. Testing it, learning from it, and getting it ready for real users doesn’t have to be.

TesterGround connects the people already building—so we can help each other move forward.
