Testing distribution is the process of distributing test builds to designated test groups or individuals. This process allows developers to gather quick feedback, identify bugs, and ensure the quality of software applications before releasing them to customers. Appcircle's test distribution module enables developers to create test groups and share builds with them, utilizing enterprise-grade authentication methods.

## Benefits of Using Testing Distribution
|
|
16
14
|
|
|
17
|
-
|
|
15
|
+
1. **Simplified Binary Distribution**.
|
|
16
|
+
- **Skip Traditional Stores:** Share .xcarchive .IPA, APK, AAB, Zip, files directly, avoiding the need to use App Store TestFlight or Google Play Internal Testing.
|
|
17
|
+
2. **Streamlined Workflow:**
|
|
18
|
+
- **Automated Processes:** Platforms like Appcircle automate the distribution process, saving time and reducing manual effort.
|
|
19
|
+
- **Seamless Integration:** Integrates smoothly with existing DevOps pipelines, enabling efficient build and distribution workflows.
|
|
20
|
+
3. **Enhanced Security:**
|
|
21
|
+
- **Controlled Access:** Set specific permissions for who can access the test builds using enterprise authentication methods such as LDAP & SSO.
|
|
22
|
+
- **Confidentiality:** Ensures that only authorized testers have access to the builds, protecting sensitive information.
|
|
23
|
+
4. **Efficient Resource Management:**
|
|
24
|
+
- **Targeted Testing:** Allows the creation of specific test groups, ensuring that the right people are testing the right features.
|
|
25
|
+
- **Optimized Testing:** Helps in allocating resources effectively, leading to better utilization of testing resources.
|
|
26
|
+
5. **Reduced Time to Market:**
|
|
27
|
+
- **Eliminates Approval Delays:** By bypassing store approval processes, developers can distribute builds directly to testers, speeding up the testing cycle.
|
|
28
|
+
- **Continuous Delivery:** Supports continuous delivery practices, enabling faster iterations and quicker releases.
|
|
29
|
+
6. **Faster Feedback Loop:**
|
|
30
|
+
- **Quick Issue Identification:** Distributing test builds quickly allows developers to gather immediate feedback, identify bugs, and address issues early in the development cycle.
|
|
31
|
+
- **Improved Quality:** Continuous testing helps ensure the software meets quality standards before release, reducing the likelihood of post-release issues.
|
|
32
|
+
7. **Cost-Effective:**
|
|
33
|
+
- **Reduced Overheads:** Automating the distribution reduces the need for manual intervention, cutting down operational costs.
|
|
34
|
+
- **Efficient Bug Fixes:** Early detection and fixing of bugs prevent costly fixes later in the development process.
|
|
35
|
+
8. **Enhanced User Experience:**
|
|
36
|
+
- **Better Quality Control:** Ensures that end users receive a more stable and polished product.
|
|
37
|
+
- **Customer Satisfaction:** By delivering higher quality software, customer satisfaction and trust in the product increase.
|
