+# Automated Owncast releases and upgrade test
+
+## Upgrades in succession tests
+
+This test will automatically download each release, one after another, to verify they all run in order. It concludes by creating a build from the `develop` branch and running the upgrade to that in order to verify the upcoming release.
+
+## First to last test
+
+This test will automatically download the first release and then upgrade to the development branch to verify that a user can successfully skip versions when upgrading.
