Comment (by jorbin):

 Some things worth testing that I remember from Shiny Updates v1 (though
 not super well, it's been a while):

 1) make sure to test plugins who's update contains syntax errors.
 https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/this-plugin-should-not-be-used
 exists for this purpose. You can install version 0.1 and then if you
 update to 0.2, there is a syntax error.

 2) There are some JS events that plugins rely on with updates. Should make
 sure that there are adequate replacements if needed. See #37216 #37512

 3) There is alot of logic for ftp/ssh credentials in the existing
 workflow. Obviously won't matter for autoupdates, but we should ensure
 it's not broken for manual updates
