After you update to the latest release of Pega Infinity, test your applications to ensure that they work with the latest Pega Infinity release.

• Performing application validation after updates

  After you update Pega Platform, update your application and schema, identify and resolve potential conflicts, and validate the update. As a best practice, run all of the update utilities.

• Validating the completion of update testing

  For Pega Infinity updates on Pega Cloud services, during the Basic update phase, the Application Testing Tracker automatically verifies that you have completed update testing on the cloned, updated staging environment before Pega updates your production environment. By using this service, you can monitor what you need to test so that the update to production proceeds.

• Performing regression testing on applications

  After you update to Pega Platform version 8.5.1 or later on the cloned, staging environment, rerun regression testing on your applications. Significant changes from one release to the next might cause instability in your applications. By performing regression testing, you can identify any unexpected changes to application behavior after the update and verify that all your features work as expected.
