What Is Test Orchestration?

Definition

Test orchestration coordinates which tests run, where they run, their required setup and how results affect a delivery process.

Why it matters

A suite can be correct yet operationally difficult if fixtures conflict or results are not tied to the right change. Orchestration makes those dependencies explicit.

How teams handle it today

Teams configure environments, dependencies, selection and artifact collection in their CI system. Larger suites may need scheduling or distribution capabilities suited to their infrastructure.

How Zerocheck approaches it

Zerocheck supports named dev, staging and production environments, a local or hosted browser and selection by test or YAML path. Tests run sequentially. It does not provide diff-based selection, sharding or a general orchestration platform.
