TestFlight was a developer tool provided by Apple for distributing iOS builds to beta testers. The service was terminated on February 26, 2015, and the functionality is now provided by iTunes Connect.

TestFlight Beta Testing makes it easy to invite users to test your iOS apps before you release them on the App Store. You can invite up to 1,000 external testers using just their email address.

Registered Apple developers could invite 25 internal testers using an iTunes Connect account using just an email address. Internal testers have immediate access to beta builds after they have been uploaded to iTunes Connect. External testers will have access after the build has undergone a beta app review process which typically takes less time than a full review for the App Store. Beta app review is not required when uploading additional builds of the same app version as long as there have not been "significant" changes made.

Prior to Apple acquiring TestFlight, it was a developer tool used for distributing iOS and Android builds to testers. The original TestFlight site is scheduled to shut down on February 26th 2015.
