Abstract: Upgrading a MySQL database from version 2008 to 2016 is a critical undertaking, requiring a comprehensive validation of all tables, data processes, and dependent applications. This paper highlights the strategy, execution, and challenges encountered during this database upgrade, focusing on ensuring minimal disruption and maintaining system integrity. From the perspective of a Business Analyst and QA Lead, the paper outlines the planning, coordination, and rigorous testing methodologies employed to validate the upgrade's impact on various projects and applications reliant on the MySQL database. The upgrade's successful execution in production underscores the importance of collaborative efforts across teams, a well-defined testing strategy, and efficient risk management.
