Testing can be started when the first build candidate (BC) is available in the CFT region.

Thanks to #8303 further smoke tests are run automatically on ESS now.
Consider extending the smoke tests to include more test cases which we'd like to cover

There is a changelog entry, added to 8.13 c706600 that looks like should target 8.14, I'll gather further information and report back.

The commit with the changes was merged in 8.13.0 so I think the changelog is fine: 0062c13

[kruskall]

elastic/go-docappender#137

I think we can skip this one because per-document retries are not enabled in apm-server.

BC 3 is out on May 2nd and there is only 1 BC after that before 8.14 being released!

Removing dependencies bumps from the test plan

Have you verified that they didn't pull in any changes that require manual testing?

@simitt there has been some internal discussion around testing those issues and the conclusion (from Andrew and Vishal) has been that we cannot test them beyond what the smoke test would be doing.

After reviewing them I agree, they are code changes that do not have a defined manual test plan but rely on our automated test suite.

I tested today the only issue in the test plan (thanks @carsonip for you guidance!). That makes for the completion of our 8.14 test plan 🎉 Closing.
