Test Tracking

• 1.5.0.x -> 2.0.0.x major update testing

  • Regression testing should cover:
    • Installing over a pending update state build and checking to see if the installer cleans up all pending related files/directories (and that update does not resume on restart) - this may or may not work as expected, we need to verify the behavior

• Run test automation for update/AUS configs
