Beta Testing  

Beta Testing is available for those people who would like to assist World Community Grid in testing work for projects before they are officially launched on World Community Grid. Some projects may need debugging and you might recognize the name of the project; others will be run anonymously. In either case, you will receive credit and points for Beta Test work just as you would for any other project. We hope this will increase the number of users we have testing projects, which in turn will allow World Community Grid to launch projects that are stable and thoroughly tested.

How It Works
You can opt in any of your existing BOINC profiles to receive Beta Test work. When Beta Test work is available, you will receive that work before you receive work for any other project (i.e., Beta Test work will take first priority). If there is no Beta Test work currently available, you will receive work from the other projects in which you have chosen to participate.

Beta Testing
Beta Testing is now available for those people who would like to assist World Community Grid in testing work for projects before they are officially launched on World Community Grid. Some projects may need debugging and you might recognize the name of the project; others will be run anonymously. In either case, you will receive credit and points for Beta Test work just as you would for any other project.

How It Works
You can opt in any of your existing BOINC profiles to receive Beta Test work by going to the Beta Testing page (currently, Beta Test work will only be available for members using the BOINC software). When Beta Test work is available, you will receive that work before you receive work for any other project (i.e., Beta Test work will take first priority). If there is no Beta Test work currently available, you will receive work from the other projects in which you have chosen to participate.

BOINC Account Management System
World Community Grid now supports read-only functionality of Account Management System. As a result members can now use the Boinc Account Manager at BAM .

我想该是为了测 BAM这功能, 本机端的配置设定.....等等 功能.
不是新的(Project)专案项目

Beta测试是指在一个新的计算项目正式运行前,请部分志愿者卸载原来的WCG软件,装个Beta测试版,看新项目是否运行正常,然后在测试期结束后,可以装回原来的软件.Beta测试的时候,要求使用新的测试用户名和密码,最好不要和原来注册的相同。这样，当你重装正式的agent软件，并用原来的用户名和密码登录时，累计的积分不会消失。

应该不需要卸载WCG软件。如果是BOINC用户，可以选择是否愿意接受Beta测试的任务，这样当有Beta测试的任务时候，会优先发布到志愿者的机器上运行。
