Test driven Drupal upgrades

Dave did a fine job clearly defining and outlining the different aspects of performing Drupal updates, from Drupal 6 all the way up to Drupal 8. He covered some of the issues that can happen with minor and major updates and how you might be able to avoid them. Dave also explained the various types of tests that can be performed, what they test for and how you might use them during an upgrade.

Dave did use some case studies as examples, however these came towards the end of the presentation. Using a case study throughout the whole presentation instead, might breakup the number of information heavy slides and serve as a reference point for the audience.

Overall - a great presentation. Very thorough in describing the overall process of development and testing in an agency settings. I just wished there was a more in-depth discussion of one or two of the test tools in lieu of the comprehensive overview, but that would have required a 3 hour session.
