Thank you all for your answers. It was very helpful.
What about the database? If starting from a certain revision you need
to make some database changes (adding tables, adding/deleting some
table fields) how can we automate this?
I mean, I think that we could run a script that add some tables and
remove the unneeded fields from other tables, but if something goes
wrong and we need to go back to the previous version, we would need
the records from those fields.
What can we do in these situations? Do the database update and the
tests manually? Or back-up the entire database and then test the
latest version of the app?
Thanks.

DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned perhaps ?

I don't know... Does anyone use it?
I read in its POD docs that "At the moment, only SQLite and MySQL are
supported.", however in the past I've seen that when creating MySQL queries
from a DBIC schema, some fields were wrongly created, including the size
when not needed, like
date date(10),
so they should be corrected manually. Because of this, I don't know if this
tool can be used for do the change automaticly...
(Or was this issue solved since then?)
