Sample Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 Migration Test

This 13-minute screencast demonstrates how to run a test Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 migration for users and user profile fields. It is meant to provide an example for users new to the Drupal 8 Migrate in Core team in order to provide an example of how to set up a test, run a test, and then document the results. If you're interested in participating the DrupalCon Austin Migrate in Core testing sprint, or just want to get involved with the Migrate in Core team, watch this screencast and get an idea of how the testing process works.

Quick tip regarding entering the parent issue at 12:11, you can also paste the node ID which is more unique than the issue title. In this case the issue title was unique enough but sometimes you might not be so lucky if you are trying to reference a generically named issue. I also personally find it quicker to grab the nid from the URL rather than copying the whole title.
