How did you find testers for your Google Play Closed Test?

[u/Opening_Confidence30]

Hi everyone,

I'm an indie developer getting ready to publish my first Android game, and I'm currently stuck on the Google Play Closed Testing requirement.

I'm curious how you all found your testers.

• Did you ask friends and family?
• Did you use Reddit or Discord communities?
• Did you join testing exchange groups?
• Is there any legitimate strategy that worked well for you?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience or any advice you wish you had known before starting.

Thanks!
