@mherman22 Nothing really hard, the Idea is look at the Tickets done at your Release notes page, those are things you need to test, using the Refapp.
Some are deployment Issues and may require a local setup or a remote setup to test the container state instance it’s self like [TRUNK-6083] Build and deploy docker image for openmrs-core - OpenMRS Issues, for such an issue, you can pull the image and spin a container on your local machine or still setup the container on one of the remote servers on the openmrs infra.
