+<h2>Basic tests</h2>
+<p>
+For each releases, alpha testers should do
+<ol>

+<li> As many of the other test groups as possible.
+</ol>
+
+<h3>Platform-independent tests</h3>
+<p>Tests to do on all platforms.
+
+<ul>
+<li> Upgrade install:
+Note fraction done of existing results.
+Install BOINC on top of existing install.
+Make sure results resume with same fraction done.
+Make sure graphics work (for all apps that support graphics).
+Make sure CPU time and fraction done are increasing for running apps.
+<li>Check all tabs in BOINC manager, make sure data is there.
+
+<li> Result completion:
+Let BOINC run long enough to complete a result.
+Verify that output file is uploaded,
+that the result is reported,
+and that new work is downloaded and started.
+<li> Suspend/resume features:
+suspend and resume results,
+file transfers, and projects.
+
+<li> Download restart:
+Exit BOINC in the middle of a long file download.
+Note the fraction done.
+Restart BOINC.
+Verify that download resumes from the same point.

+    should have started a core client process.
+</ul>
+<h3>Windows service mode</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Use of 'net start boinc' and 'net stop boinc' on the command line should
+    start and stop the core client.
+<li>Use of 'net pause boinc' and 'net continue boinc' should pause and resume
+    the core client.
+<li>The core client should be started when the machine boots up.
+<li>the core client should continue processing when nobody is logged onto the
+    system.
+<li>Manager should be able to communicate with the core client without issue.
