Upgrade of TYPO3 CMS is a straight forward processes, yet it requires good planning. First step is to assert current sitation and setup a timeline for the TYPO3 website upgrade. Two steps that follow are actual upgrades - first on development server and second on live website.
First step of the upgrade process is analysis of the current situation. These are the main questions to answer:
Based on this analysis, an exact estimate of time and material needed for the upgrade is made.
The first point is creation of a development server – an exact, independent copy of the live website. It will serve as a test server for the upgrade.
Programmers are working on the development server (DEV server) without interfering with the live website. After the upgrade is finished, a detailed quality assurance check is performed on DEV server to ensure that everything is working just fine after the upgrade.
Website should work the same and look the same in front-end after the upgrade. Back office will change in terms of layout and design, but the public part of the website must remain the same.
Everything is already upgraded and well-tested on DEV server. It is now fast and safe for developers to simply reproduce the upgrade on the live website. All content is preserved during this process.

The biggest change that attracts the eye of every user is the revamped Back End interface, which both delivers a modern design and a concise approach to more effective work by streamlining all parts.
The speed of the TYPO3 Back End has been improved (up to 4 times faster). The rendering engine also used in most parts of the TYPO3 Back End now has gained a performance boosts, making the TYPO3 backend feel more like a real web application.
Content management with TYPO3 is now responsive, allowing for editing content on touch-based devices and adapting better on small screens.
The editor can modify an uploaded image when inserting it into a content element.
The editor can then select the part of the image that should be visible to the user with a simple user interface.
All other logic like scaling is still applied to the image when outputting it on a website.
Mass update has never been so easy! If a file upload would overwrite an existing file, editors can choose an action (e.g. replace, rename or skip) conveniently in a modal popup. This feature works for multiple files, too.
Organizing and working with online media assets like YouTube and Vimeo videos is much easier.
YouTube links can be referenced in the "Text & Media" content element directly by pasting a video URL, a preview thumbnail is shown and they can be organised in the file list module just like any other asset.
You can also embed local files.
