Twitter’s Crashlytics Launches Beta Testing Tool

[ Developer]

Twitter’s Crashlytics announced a brand new beta distribution tool aimed toward helping developers simplify the method of sharing apps with testers. They’re releasing it to iOS and Android developers after keeping it as a Crashlytics Labs project.

Now, it’s fully supported by the company’s engineers, designers, user experience staff, and support team. It features a rapid release cycle, the corporate says.

In a blog post, Crashlytics says:

We’ve heard your frustrations in regards to the state of beta distribution today. Poor UI, confusing registration systems, frequent downtime, and only single-OS support. It’s time to construct something usable with both developers and testers in mind.

We applied our Crashlytics power and varnish to this problem. The end result: a streamlined experience for distributing apps that offers you a single, cross-platform toolset for iOS and Android. Beta distribution must be an intuitive process for you and your testers so that you can think about what matters — building your app, not stressing about getting testers up and running.

Twitter acquired Crashlytics a few year and a half ago. Earlier this month, the reporting tool for mobile app crashes hit Mac OS X.
