For Umbraco platform upgrade testing, it's often useful to mix functional, content, administrative, and technical validation items. Here's a randomized set of items you could include in a test plan:

• Verify homepage loads correctly and all content blocks render as expected.

• Confirm all primary navigation links direct to the correct pages.

• Test search functionality returns relevant results.

• Validate PDF downloads open successfully.

• Confirm image galleries display and navigate properly.

• Verify SEO metadata is present on key pages.

• Test content publishing workflow from draft to published state.

• Confirm scheduled content publishes at the expected time.

• Verify unpublished pages are not accessible to anonymous users.

• Test Rich Text Editor formatting (bold, italics, tables, links, lists).

• Validate embedded videos display and play correctly.

• Confirm contact forms submit successfully and notifications are received.

• Verify redirects continue to work after the upgrade.

• Test authentication and login functionality for content editors.

• Confirm role-based permissions remain intact.

• Validate media library assets are accessible and display correctly.

• Test page load performance for high-traffic pages.

• Validate breadcrumb navigation appears correctly.

• Verify custom widgets/components render without errors.

• Test integrations with third-party systems (CRM, forms, analytics).

• Confirm Google Analytics or other tracking scripts are still firing.

• Verify accessibility features such as alternative text and keyboard navigation.

• Test mobile responsiveness across common device sizes.

• Validate browser compatibility in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

• Confirm error pages (404, 500) display correctly.

• Verify member/customer portal functionality, if applicable.

• Test content approval notifications and email templates.

• Confirm scheduled jobs and automated processes execute successfully.

• Validate URL structure remains unchanged for existing pages.
