The construction of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) is advancing rapidly with complete systems of final hardware already in operation at both the Operations Support Facility (OSF) at 3000 m and the ALMA Operations Site (AOS) at 5000 m and with almost all the key elements of the control software in place. A great deal of testing at both the single-dish level and of basic interferometric functions has already taken place and the results so far are all extremely encouraging. The work of the Commissioning and Science Verification team is now moving on towards multi-element experiments like phase closure and initial imaging tests, while the Assembly Integration and Verification team will be focussing on bringing more fully integrated antennas on line as ALMA moves into its mass-production phase. We present an overview of the current status and testing. We include images of the current hardware and software tools and recent results from the testing process.
