     4We rely on volunteers to test the BOINC server software.
     5The server software includes everything used by projects:
     6
     7 * The scheduler, feeder, transitioner, and so on.
     8 * The API code
     9 * Wrappers
     10 * The PHP web code
     11 * The python scripts are creating and controlling projects
     12
     13== Becoming a Server tester ==
     14
     15When we are preparing to release a new version of the server software,
     16testers are expected to
     17
     18  * Download the software under test,
     19    and install it on a new or existing project.
     20    Established BOINC projects can use a separate test project for this purpose.
     21  * Build applications and deploy them on the test project.
     22  * Carefully monitor the test project
     23  * Report the results of testing
     24
     25If you are OK with this and want to help test BOINC,
     26send email to [ProjectPeople David Anderson],
     27and we'll give you an account in the BOINC server test project.
