Hello, I am +1 for this also since it's my role in the community to make sure databases work.
The testing procedure (which I already do) is "executed after the RC1 release of a version and consists in: * setting up an XWiki instance on a vanilla database to test if the database is correctly created from scratch and a few basic manual tests * perform a migration from an older version (ATM using 2.7.2) to the latest XWiki RC1 version to see if the migration works well. Mostly I check for console errors and if there are none, I perform a few basic tests like retrieving attachments that were inside the wiki before the migration, etc After the vote finishes, I will update our documentation and create a page about this according to the vote's result.
