title: How to use Google Play Store for testing
body: <p>I am new to the Google play store. I was getting frustrated with play store. I have uploaded to the Production and it takes several hours to publish on the store.I do not know how to use alpha and beta properly,because production takes lot of time to publish the app. There are many restrictions regarding
  versions and key store files. Can any body please suggest how to deal with it?</p>
  
  <p>I have the following doubts regarding play store.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Shall we upload the same app to the alpha as well as production with same version and pkg name?</p></li>
  <li><p>Shall alpha takes less time compare to production?</p></li>
  <li><p>What is the way to reduce the time to publish on play store?</p></li>
  <li><p>If it takes several hours, I think there is no strong reason to use Google Play store?</p></li>
  <li><p>How the people publishing the number of apps on play store, if it takes longer time?</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your patience.  </p>
