Google today expanded the number of ways developers can test their apps ahead of general release. At the moment, developers are limited to testing through closed betas that require people to join dedicated Google+ communities or Google Groups. Moving forward, developers will be able to offer open betas directly through the Play Store, as well as closed betas via email invitations. The open betas can be managed by limiting app downloads, and the email address-based closed betas give developers even more granular control over who's testing the app. The added options make it easier for developers to test and collect app data to make sure they perform well at launch. Google said the new beta testing tools are available in the Google Play Developer Console.
