This is how I'm doing it:

  1. See that you have a sufficient test suite and that all tests pass
  2. Review your Gemfile. What needs to be updated to be Rails 4.1 compatible? Update them now; see that your test suite still passes
  3. Use railsdiff.org to see the basic changes to a new rails app and apply them accordingly
    http://railsdiff.org/diff/v4.0.3/v4.1.8/
  4. Follow the official Rails guide for upgrading to Rails 4.1
    http://guides.rubyonrails.org/4_1_release_notes.html
  5. Google for more guides on upgrading to Rails 4.1
    https://www.google.com/search?q=upgrade+to+rails+4.1
    They mention some more things you have to take care of when upgrading to Rails 4.1. Especially mentioning some non-default gems, like Rspec etc.
  6. Run your test suite, see that all tests pass. Update or fix your code if necessary.

Take a look at the Ruby on Rails guide for upgrading. It depends on how your app is built already.
