What items should customers test when upgrading to new versions of Customer Self Service?

Why should any testing be done?

Each new version of the Customer Self Service application is either a service pack (which will only contain fixes) or a new version (which will contain fixed and new features). Commerce Vision staff will let you know whether it is a new release or a service pack.

Any changes to a software application has the risk that it might introduce new issues or change the way a current feature works. 
Commerce Vision does testing of new releases but every site has a multitude of different settings and can be using different features of the software. It is always important to test key elements of the application to ensure the operate correctly in your environment.
