This video is showing automatic testing available 3rd party dependencies using next-update CLI Node tool. I took chdir-promise module and ran next-update (using minimal verbosity --tldr mode).

The next-update tool installed the latest available version of each out-of-date dependency and reran the tests. At the end it gave me the commands to install 3rd party dependencies that did not break the unit tests.

At the end I show the summary of the CLI options available. There is testing of all modules installed at once, keeping working versions, exhaustive testing, etc.
