How To Test Upgrades

Be sure to update Implementers' Guide to FOLIO Upgrade Testing

Biggest Takeaways for today:

Test early! It will make it possible for a fix to get into your upgrade, and not have to delay
CSP testing: if CSP’s are going to have new functionality in them, users will have to test them more thoroughly. That will bring us back to upgrade fatigue.
