How to send android app to another user for beta testing?

I am developing a hybrid cordova app with Phonegap. How can I send this app to another user so that he can install it in his Android device and test my app?

thanks.

Your best bet would be to use Google Developer console and setup beta and alpha testing with groups of users of your choice.

Here is a detailed documentation

Main attractions:

You don’t need a production APK to publish an alpha/beta app.

If you're testing an existing app that you've published before, only users in your test group will receive an update for your Alpha/Beta version.

If you're testing a new app that you haven't published before, only users in your test group can find and download your app.

After publishing an alpha/beta APK, it may take up to 24 hours for your test link to be available to testers.

If you make any changes to your app's Pricing & Distribution page, including setting your app price to Paid or Free, it affects your production, alpha, beta, and any future versions of your app.

See alpha/beta testing & staged rollouts in the Developer Console help. If you've got a small test base you can just build your app and send it out with the debug key. Make sure they've got the `Unknown Sources' option checked in Security settings.
