Blueprism upgradation test Strategy

[RahulVyas]

We are planning to upgrade from current version of blueprism to the latest one. Would like to know what is the strategy you are following. 

Lets say there are 100 BOTs running in PROD. 

What are the sanity checks we should be doing. How can we get the confidence that there will not be any impact on the existing BOTs.

Do you have any fixed strategy which you follow every time when there is a version upgrade planned?

I will start with

1. Go to the known issues in BP Portal of the version which you're planning to upgrade and make sure these are taken care of to the applicable projects.
2. Identify High complexity and critical projects and test them in UAT. 

Please help me with your inputs and experience on this.
