It is crucial to test the transactions that use any of your customizations or extensions early in a sandbox environment, lest they break in production and halt your business processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe best way to validate your version update is to run through critical business processes in your sandbox environment, including extensions, customizations, printing reports, posting journal entries, creating orders, and so forth.  After you validate the update in the sandbox, your production environment can be safely updated, as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s also best to perform update testing earlier rather than later because if you do run into any hiccups that need to be fixed, you need time to correct the issues before Microsoft automatically updates environments, which could occur within 60 days or less after the release wave has become generally available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe know that prepping for an update can feel a bit overwhelming, so to support thorough testing, we’ve created a few different resources—all of which can help an organization prepare for these semi-annual release waves.
