# Using Continuous Integration to test an update before applying it to Talend Studio

Use specific Maven commands to test an update on one or more projects before applying the update to Talend Studio.

## Procedure

1. Check out your Git projects.
2. Download the update from the Talend update site URL you have set up using the -Dtalend.studio.p2.update Maven parameter.

   Example:
   ```
   -Dlicense.path=/home/talend/talend_studio/license
   -Dtalend.studio.p2.update=https://update.talend.com/Studio/8/updates/R2025-03
   ```
3. Re-generate all the POM files of the project workspace and install the updates you want to test.

   For more information on how to re-generate all POM files, see [Generating POM files for your projects](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/software-dev-lifecycle-best-practices-guide/8.0/regenerate-pom-files).
4. Test the generation of existing projects and Jobs.
5. If the project generation is successful, apply the tested updates to Talend Studio. If the test is not successful, contact Qlik Support.
