title: Application Services version upgrades
permalink: /contributing/app-services-upgrades

Upgrading to a newer [version of App Services][as_version] upgrades the dependencies for multiple components, so it can be prudent to run a quick smoke test before it lands to ensure new functionality works and there are no regressions in the existing components.
## Automated PR testing
A quick first step is to run the automated smoke test on the Android Components PR by commenting:
```
bors try
```
This will run the `test-ui-browser` task, which will execute on-device tests of a sample browser built against the A-S version. If it's totally broken, that should blow up.
## Fenix
The next step is to build a [local version of Android Components][local_build] against [Fenix][fenix] and test the following items:
- Check general storage components works by adding/editing/removing: bookmarks, history
- Sign-in/Sign-up for Sync
- QR code pairing for Sync
- Changing settings in “Choose what to sync” updates on desktop and vice versa
- Rename device and verify on desktop
- Sync Now button works
- Browse passwords, auto-fill, save new passwords, update them
- Receiving tab works
- This needs push messaging keys, but we can test this without keys by using the “Sync Now” button
- Sending tabs
- Synced Tabs shows results from another device and vice versa
