There is a wide variety of continuous integration software which provide different features. Pricing plans might be for free if your project is open-sourced.
[Jenkins](https://jenkins.io/) is a good option if you have a local server at your disposal, on the other hand [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/) is also a recommended choice if you plan to use a cloud-based continuous integration service.

### Use a Bug reporting tool in beta testing phase

The testing stage is crucial to get a sense of what users are looking for and what core values to feature. Gather quality beta testers who are willing to get their hands dirty and test your buggy app.
Whether you’re distributing it through [Google play](https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/launch/beta-tests.html), [Betatesters](http://betatesters.io/) or [Betafamily](https://betafamily.com/), you’ll need to have a way for them to send you their feedback or report the bugs they face.

[Instabug](https://instabug.com/beta-apps) is a good option as it automatically grabs user steps, network API calls, views hierarchy and enabled video recordings for beta-testers to better describe the bug they are facing and let you debug and reproduce bugs faster.
