Updating gems is a daunting task, but we have to finish them because your project is going out of date day by day. This article summarizes how to make updating gems easy and a task which can be executed regularly.

  1. Don’t leave this task to a member.

This task puts a lot of stress on engineers. They have to fight against the worry that their fixes may have bugs. All of engineers in your company have to be responsible for the task.

2. Use applications for notification.

There are many useful applications like below.

It is possible to update and find new version gems automatically.

3. We should have the habit of writing test codes.

If your company didn’t have the habit, the project of updating gems would be the hell.

4. We should share the information with your company’s business team.

How long does the task take? What tasks are we dealing with? Don’t forget to do so.
