'''BOINC Alpha Test''' is the official quality assurance project for the [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]] middleware itself. Rather than distributing scientific workunits, it exists purely so that volunteers can install experimental builds of the BOINC client software and report back whether they work correctly across the enormous variety of hardware, operating systems, and configurations found on real volunteers' computers. It has been operated by the [[wikipedia:University of California, Berkeley|University of California, Berkeley]] since 2004 and remains active today, run out of the same Space Sciences Laboratory group that maintains BOINC and [[SETI@home]]. | '''[https://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/ BOINC Alpha Test]''' is the official quality assurance project for the [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]] middleware itself.
