Warning
titleTest Your Upgrade Process

It is always recommended that when performing an upgrade that the user should use a Development or Test instance or server in order to minimize downtime. You should note any problems you have encountered (and also how to resolve them) before attempting to upgrade your production instance or server. It also gives you a chance to "practice" at the upgrade. (And practice makes perfect.)

Info
titleIf you are upgrading across multiple versions

...

You should perform all of the steps of each upgrade between the version from which you are starting and the version to which you are upgrading. You do not need to install each intervening version, but you do need to carry out all of the configuration changes and additions, and all of the database updates, for each one. For example, when upgrading from 1.5.x to 1.7.x, you need to perform the configuration & database upgrade steps detailed in Upgrading from 1.5.x to 1.6.x followed by those detailed in Upgrading from 1.6.x to 1.7.x.
