A software vendor releases a new version of its desktop application. The test team must verify that users can upgrade from the previous version without losing their local configuration settings and user data. Which type of testing should be prioritized?

Upgrade testing, which installs the new version over the previous one and verifies settings and data are retained.

Adaptability testing, which verifies the application runs on different operating systems.

Replaceability testing, which compares the new version's features with the old version.

Clean installation testing, which installs the new version on a system without any previous version.
