The first-time Ubertesters app installation

When you start working with a new service, it takes some time to check all its options and to understand all its benefits. Usually it is required to take the preliminary steps to use the service itself. To receive your build over-the-air and to start the testing process with Ubertesters, it is required to connect your devices and pass through First Time Installation process. We made it simple and comprehensible so not only your testers, but also your clients can pass the steps without any difficulties.

Why do your clients need to install Ubertesters?

Of course, Ubertesters installation is required for the testers who will search for the bugs and gaps and report them to you. However very often you need to receive the feedback from your beta-clients who are not the professional testers. Ubertesters bug submission menu will be of a great help for them when they would like to inform you about incorrect system behavior, send you feature requests and notes about the desired improvements.

So not only you, but your clients as well also are getting the benefits of Ubertesters platform.
