   Im currently working on a fairly big project using CakePHP.

How do you manage framework updates?


   by hand.  In my case there is no automated way to do it.  Usually, and I
assume this holds true for you, you don't need to update for every
revision.  For these kind of frameworks they do not test every 3rd-party
module against the new code (Drupal does to some extent).  If security is
the issue, take all the identifying HTML code out of the app so the script
kiddies can't detect it.

   Unit tests are handy as Alex says, but can be overkill on smaller
projects.
