objective:
|
|
- Set up TestFlight beta testing with internal and external testers to validate app before public release
|
|
|
|
deliverables:
|
|
- Internal testing group configured
|
|
- External testing group with 20+ testers
|
|
- Beta testing feedback process
|
|
- Crash reporting for beta builds
|
|
|
|
steps:
|
|
1. Configure internal testing:
|
|
- Add all team members to App Store Connect
|
|
- Create internal testing group
|
|
- Upload first beta build
|
|
- Verify team members can install via TestFlight app
|
|
2. Recruit external testers:
|
|
- Create external testing group "Kordant Beta"
|
|
- Invite 20-100 external testers via email or public link
|
|
- Target: mix of technical and non-technical users
|
|
- Include iPhone and iPad users
|
|
- Include different iOS versions (16, 17, 18)
|
|
3. Prepare beta testing materials:
|
|
- Beta app description and what to test
|
|
- Feedback email or link (TestFlight feedback)
|
|
- Known issues list
|
|
- Testing checklist for testers
|
|
4. Set up crash reporting:
|
|
- Enable TestFlight crash reporting in Xcode
|
|
- Integrate Firebase Crashlytics for detailed crashes
|
|
- Configure alerts for crash spikes
|
|
5. Distribute beta builds:
|
|
- Upload new build → auto-distribute to internal testers
|
|
- Submit for external testing review (first build only)
|
|
- Distribute to external testers after approval
|
|
6. Collect and triage feedback:
|
|
- Review TestFlight feedback daily
|
|
- Create issues from feedback in task tracker
|
|
- Respond to critical feedback within 24 hours
|
|
- Track bug reports and feature requests
|
|
7. Iterate based on feedback:
|
|
- Fix critical bugs within 1 week
|
|
- Address UI/UX issues before public release
|
|
- Update beta build every 1-2 weeks
|
|
|
|
tests:
|
|
- Distribution: Verify testers receive build notifications
|
|
- Feedback: Test feedback submission process
|
|
- Crash: Verify crash reports appear in Firebase
|
|
|
|
acceptance_criteria:
|
|
- Internal testing group with all team members
|
|

|
|
- TestFlight feedback channel active
|
|

|
|
|
validation:
|
|
- TestFlight app → build available for install
|
|
- External tester installs app → no issues
|
|
- Submit feedback → appears in App Store Connect
|
|
- Simulate crash → report appears in Firebase
|
|
|
|
notes:
|
|
- External testing requires App Review approval for first build
|
|
- Public link allows anyone to join without invitation
|
|
- Beta testing typically takes 2-4 weeks before release
|
|
- Use TestFlight groups to test different features
