This template is used to produce multiple upgrade test cases for release validation testing, found at Template:Installation_test_matrix#Upgrade.
Various bits of the content are conditionalized, based on template parameters, to let you produce the test cases that cover upgrading from different configurations.
If the first parameter is set, you'll get a test case for that flavor - e.g. {{Testcase upgrade|server}} to get a test case for upgrading the Server flavor.
If the second parameter is set, you'll get a test case for that package set - e.g. {{Testcase upgrade||minimal}} to get a test case for upgrading the minimal package set.
You should only ever set either the first or the second parameter, don't set both together.
If the third parameter is set to live, the test case will mention a live image; it's only intended to be used with the second parameter set (i.e. a package set - not flavor - test case). e.g. {{Testcase upgrade||KDE|live}} to get a test case which covers upgrading a KDE install either via network install or live image.
If the fourth parameter is set to encrypt, the test case will be for upgrading an encrypted system; e.g. {{Testcase upgrade|workstation|||encrypt}} to get a test case which covers upgrading an encrypted Workstation install.
