== What to test? ==¶

The August 8th Pulp Test Day will focus on the Pulp 2.14 beta release and the new pulp debian plugin

Testers can walk through a manual upgrade from an existing pulp install, installing manually both pulp and the pulp_debian plugin,
or can skip testing installation (and the documentation for that) by using ansible to install and moving on to confirming functionality of the product, that bugs that were fixed in the release are indeed fixed, or other exploratory testing.
