# Connect Your rippled to an XRPL Altnet

Ripple has created the [XRP Test Network](parallel-networks.html) to provide a testing platform for the XRP Ledger. XRP Test Net funds are not real funds and are intended for testing only. You can connect your `rippled` server to the XRP Test Net to test out and understand `rippled` functionality before connecting to the production XRP Ledger Network. You can also use the XRP Test Net to verify that your own code interacts correctly with `rippled`.
Ripple has created [alternative test and development networks](parallel-networks.html) for developers to test their apps on the latest non-production version of the XRP Ledger (Testnet) or to test and experiment with features on the latest beta version (Devnet). **The funds used on these networks are not real funds and are intended for testing only.** You can connect your `rippled` server to either the Testnet or Devnet.

**Note:** The XRP Test Net ledger and balances are reset on a regular basis.

4. To verify that your `rippled` is connected to the XRP Test Net, use the [server_info method][] on your server and compare it to the results from a public server on the Test Net. The `seq` field of the `validated_ledger` object should be the same on both servers (possibly off by one or two, if it changed as you were checking).
