How can I create a segment specifically for my test devices?

To group devices for testing purposes, such as for a QA team, you can create a dedicated segment. Here are two effective methods to achieve this:

Method 1: Using Tags

This is the most flexible and dynamic approach for managing a group of test devices.

1. Assign a Tag: In your application's code, assign a specific Tag to your test devices. For example, you can create a Tag named test_device and set its value to true, or a Tag named user_group with the value QA.
2. Create a Segment: In your Pushwoosh Control Panel, create a new segment using a filter condition based on the Tag you set. For example, you would set the condition to "Tag user_group is QA".

All devices with this Tag will automatically be included in this segment, making it easy to manage your test group over time.

Method 2: Importing a Segment from a CSV File

This method is useful for creating a static list of test devices if you already have their hardware IDs (HWIDs).

1. Collect HWIDs: Gather the HWIDs of all your test devices.
2. Create a CSV File: Create a simple CSV file containing the list of these HWIDs.
3. Import the Segment: In the Pushwoosh Control Panel, use the Import Segment feature and upload the CSV file you created. This will create a segment containing only the devices specified in the file.
