google play developer console has a near channel called "internal test". it is the last one in the list and i took a image of it below. how does it compare with alpha channel ? im not understanding its usecase ? seems your allowed 100 users.
I tried looking for documentation but i only see that it makes the app available faster. is that the prime benefit ?
Quickly distribute your builds to a small set of trusted testers without the need to wait for app reviews. Integrate with build qualification processes before promoting to more users. Go to Play Console.
When you create an internal test, you release your app immediately to your internal testers. This can help you identify issues and receive feedback earlier in your development process. An internal test is: Fast: You can distribute apps via the internal test track much faster than the open or closed tracks.
Select the app you want to test. Select Release management > App releases. Select 'Manage internal test' next to the internal test track. Expand the 'Manage testers' section.
That is correct, the Internal test track primary advantage is that APKs published to this track are available to testers within seconds, instead of up to several hours for Alpha or Beta.
Also, Internal testers can access app versions that are not otherwise available to other tracks users due to various restrictions such as device exclusions.
Finally, Internal testers do not have to pay to acquire the test version of the app, if the app is paid.
The internal test track is designed for internal testing use cases.
