Upgrade Testing

[Angie Affolter]

Does anyone have a checklist of what they test when an upgrade has been applied?

We are JIRA Core, server

I was also looking for such a checklist. We have JIRA Software with Jira servicedesk.

Some things to test in UAT:

• Create queues in JIRA servicedesk
• find dashboards
• find kanban board, are all issues loading.
• count boards in db, before and after upgrade
• Can you still see attachments inside issues
• Do you have integrations, make test cases and see if they works
• Send incoming emails if configured
• Outgoing emails
• timereporting if Tempo is installed
• try different web browsers
• Check latest upgrade report
• find issues when searching
• create different JQLs to search for issues.
• Count the number of issues before and after upgrading (

  Issues - Search for issues (number or issues))

2. Make sure you get some of your users to UAT the instance before announcing the completion of the upgrade

I was actually looking for #2 - a list of things to review at the user level

Create an issue?  Open up a dashboard? search for issues?
