Will it work as designed across devices?” If you’ve had thoughts like these when shipping your app, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Shipping your app doesn’t have to be a stressful experience and there are tools you can use to ensure your apps are stable and high performing.</p><p id="3661" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gy mz b na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu gn bk">You may already be using Google Play app quality tools, such as Android vitals and pre-launch reports in your release workflows, but using Firebase and Google Play quality tools together can take your app quality to the next level. Google Play quality tools provide a holistic view of your app’s stability while Firebase quality tools, such as App Distribution, Crashlytics, Test Lab and Performance Monitoring, offer additional customization and more in-depth insights. The combined use of Google Play and Firebase quality tools provides you with actionable insight on your app’s stability and performance before, during, and after launch so you can be confident knowing your users are experiencing the best version of your app.</p><p id="c589" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gy mz b na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu gn bk">In this article, I’ll cover how to use Firebase app quality tools together with Google Play quality tools to improve user’s experience in your app.</p><figure class="ny nz oa ob oc gs nv nw paragraph-image"><div role="button" tabindex="0" class="od oe fj of bh og"><div class="nv nw nx"><picture><source srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/format:webp/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/format:webp/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/format:webp/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/format:webp/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" type="image/webp"/><source data-testid="og" srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*b8z0g4TWrkhZ1FikmBUfpw.png 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"/><img alt="" class="bh gu gv c" width="700" height="264" loading="eager" role="presentation"/></picture></div></div><figcaption class="oh ff oi nv nw oj ok bf b bg z du"><em class="ol">Table listing out Google Play and Firebase tools that help improve your app quality</em></figcaption></figure><h1 id="18e6" class="om on gy bf oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow ox oy oz pa pb pc pd pe pf pg ph pi pj bk"><strong class="al">Gather feedback from internal teams and external users</strong></h1><p id="4d27" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gy mz b na pk nc nd ne pl ng nh ni pm nk nl nm pn no np nq po ns nt nu gn bk">One of the best ways to identify and fix bugs is through feedback from trusted testers, but user testing can be a clunky process. You have to recruit testers, find ways to distribute your test builds and grant testers access. <a class="af pp" href="https://firebase.google.com/products/app-distribution" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong class="mz gz">Firebase App Distribution</strong></a>, a pre-release testing tool, provides you with the flexibility to easily distribute your test builds among trusted testers on Android and iOS using the Firebase console or your CI servers so you can collect early feedback and uncover bugs. Also, with no SDK to install, you can get your testers up and running quickly. If you’re looking to test specific Play formats such as App Bundles, you can use <a class="af pp" href="https://play.google.com/console/about/internalappsharing/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong class="mz gz">Google Play Internal App Sharing</strong></a><strong class="mz gz"> </strong>to quickly upload and share your test builds with your internal team.</p><p id="ba2f" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gy mz b na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu gn bk">When you’re done with internal testing and want to gather more feedback at scale, use Google Play’s <a class="af pp" href="https://play.google.com/console/about/opentesting/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong class="mz gz">open</strong></a> and <a class="af pp" href="https://play.google.com/console/about/closed-testing/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong class="mz gz">closed</strong></a><strong class="mz gz"> </strong>testing tracks to target your most engaged users for a final quality check before releasing a new feature.
