Embodiment Construction

[0012] Providing a single version of an application to users through an application store may limit a developer's ability to test newer versions of the application with a test group of users. Specifically, an arrangement configured so that only one version of an application is available to the application store does not allow developers to provide different versions of the application to different groups of users. According to an implementation of the disclosed subject matter, a user may receive or have the option to receive a version of an application based on the user's status or selection, or based on a group of which the user is a part. As disclosed herein, a beta version of an application may be any version of an application that has not been released to the general public, and may be a version that is in a testing, experimental, or development phase. Thus, as disclosed herein, a test version of an application may be provided to users who are part of a test group. In add...

Abstract

Systems and techniques are disclosed for providing a standard version of an application to a first user, receiving a request for the application from a second user, identifying the second user as a test user, and providing a second version of the application to the second user based on the identification. Interaction events with the second version of the application, by the second user, may be reported and used by the arrangement to modify the second version of the application. Alternatively, a second user may reject the second version of the application and the second user's status may be modified based on the rejection.

Description

Background technique [0001] Currently, there are several electronic application stores from which users can download applications. Typically, only the latest version of an application is available in the store at any given time. Developers aiming to provide multiple versions of the same application often need to publish two or more separate applications (for example, not two versions of the same application), which may increase maintenance costs, maintenance time, release time time and review process. App stores have traditionally disallowed multiple apps under the same app id, which may require developers to change apps and potentially break how apps communicate with each other. App developers can benefit from releasing test versions of their app to small groups of users, receiving feedback, and fixing bugs before releasing the app to the general public. With traditional application stores, developers cannot distribute test versions of applications within the application s...
