The Production Access Questionnaire Answered

The production access questionnaire is not a test you can cram for. It is a request for evidence, and the evidence is the testing record you built during the 14 days. The strongest answers are the ones that point to specific facts: tester count, device spread, opt-in dates, findings, and fixes.

Question one: how did you recruit testers? The answer should name the source — a managed pool, a beta community, a professional network — and explain why those testers were representative. “Friends and family” is not a strategy; it is a fallback.

Question two: how many testers opted in? State the number, the date the roster filled, and the date the window ended. A table of opt-in dates is worth more than a sentence, because it shows continuity rather than a single spike.

Question three: what devices did they use? List the Android versions and device types. A spread across current versions shows that the app was tested on the hardware your users actually own, not just on one reference device.

Question four: what feedback did you receive? Summarise the findings, ordered by severity. Crashes and data loss first, broken core flows second, layout and polish third. A reviewer who can see the priority order will spend seconds on the question, not minutes.

Question five: what did you change in response? Name the fixes, the builds they shipped in, and the dates. A report that ends with “we fixed the crash on the payment screen in build 1.2.3” is evidence. A report that ends with “we made improvements” is a claim.
