Feature testing efforts
[edit]NPF/Curation is top priority right now AFTv5 still being tweaked Chris on docs review team for NPF
Beta labs
[edit]AFTv5 became misconfigured, fixing that in order to start making end-to-end tests for it during stable period. Also want to check that NPF is correct, and add latest UploadWizard to testable extensions. Note: while not in Jenkins (yet), AFTv5 and NPF/Curation are being automatically and correctly deployed to beta labs nightly.
