Welcome to DeployGate Tester Guide

This guide is intended for users who have been invited to DeployGate as testers. We explain how to install distributed apps on your device on this page.

• If you are an app developer, please refer to the DeployGate Developer Guide. This guide explains the features available for uploading and distributing apps through DeployGate.
• If you are a system administrator, please refer to the DeployGate Administrator Guide. This guide explains how to manage members within a Workspace.

Before You Start Installing an App

First, please check whether you have received an email from DeployGate with the subject "Invitation to Workspace".
Please also check your spam or junk folder, as the email may have been filtered there.

• If you have received an invitation email
  You have been invited to join a Workspace as a member.
  Please refer to If You Have Received an Invitation Email (Member Distribution) and start by creating a DeployGate account.
  Although you need to log in to DeployGate, you can access and compare previous revisions, and more detailed error logs are automatically shared with the developer. This method is suitable for comprehensive testing.

• If you have not received an invitation email
  Please refer to If You Have Only Received a URL or QR Code (Link Distribution) and follow the installation instructions.
  You do not need to log in to DeployGate. You can install the app directly from the URL and start testing. However, you can only access the specific app revision designated by the developer.

Available features vary depending on whether you have been invited to a Workspace

Please confirm with the developer which distribution method applies to you and follow their instructions to get started.
