Hi friends,

We are excited to share that we have a beta version for automated testing on OONI Probe Android!

This means that you can have OONI Probe run all tests automatically multiple times per day (without having to remember to run OONI Probe or do anything).

If you're on Android, please help test the beta version:

1. Join the beta program: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.openobservatory.ooniprobe

2. Update (through the Play Store) to OONI Probe 3.0.0-beta.1 (Android)

3. Through the OONI Probe 3.0.0-beta.1 app, please tap Settings -> Automated testing and enable the "Run tests automatically" setting. 

We recommend having automated tests run when you're connected to WiFi and while your phone is charging (though you can configure this in the "Automated testing" settings).

Now OONI Probe will run all tests automatically every hour (if you're connected to WiFi and your phone is charging -- depending on your settings).

To avoid cluttering the UI of your Test Results screen, the test results from automated testing will only be available on OONI Explorer (published automatically in real-time): https://explorer.ooni.org/

We would greatly appreciate any feedback you may have for improvements! This will help us check if everything works well before we release automated OONI Probe testing officially.

You can share your feedback with my colleague Lorenzo (lorenzo@openobservatory.org), or by opening tickets at the following repository: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues

Happy to address any questions you may have.

Thanks for your time and support!

Best,

Maria.
