What is Test Orchestration?

Test Orchestration (TO) is a powerful platform that allows quality assurance teams to design, execute, and manage complex testing scenarios by visually connecting test scripts—without writing code.

Why Use Test Orchestration?

Automate Complex Workflows

Chain multiple test scripts (Web, Mobile, API, Desktop) into sophisticated testing sequences that mirror real user journeys. Execute 10+ tests in sequence with a single click.

No Coding Required

Save Time & Resources

Data Continuity

Centralized Reporting

When Should You Use Test Orchestration?

✅ Perfect For:

Scenario	Why TO Helps
End-to-End Testing	Chain Web → Mobile → API tests in one workflow
Integration Testing	Validate multiple systems working together
Regression Testing	Run comprehensive test suites automatically
Cross-Platform Validation	Test same flow on Web, iOS, and Android
Data-Dependent Tests	Use output from one test as input to another
Smoke Testing	Quick daily validation of critical paths
API Testing	Chain API calls with data dependencies

📊 Real-World Example:

E-Commerce Checkout Validation:
├─ API: Create test user account
├─ API: Add product to inventory
├─ Web: User login
├─ Web: Browse and add product to cart
├─ Web: Process payment
├─ Wait: 5 seconds (for data sync)
├─ Mobile: Verify order in order history
└─ API: Validate order in database

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have:

📋 What You Need

• Access to Test Orchestration platform (account created)

• At least one test script ready (Web, Mobile, API, or Desktop)

• Basic understanding of testing concepts

• 30-45 minutes for initial setup and learning

Optional but helpful:

• Familiarity with your application's user workflows

• Test data prepared for your scenarios

• Basic knowledge of APIs (if testing APIs)

• At least one test script created (Web, Mobile, API, or Desktop)

• Basic understanding of your testing objectives

• Basic familiarity with your application under test

💡 Don't have test scripts yet? Create them in your test automation platform first, then import them into Test Orchestration.

Quick Concept Overview

Projects

Container for your testing work

• Organize workflows by application or feature

• Manage environments and configurations

• Control access and permissions

• Example: "E-Commerce App Testing", "Mobile Banking"

Workflows

Automated sequences of connected tests

• Connect test scripts visually

• Define execution order

• Configure conditional logic

• Example: "Login and Checkout Flow"

Nodes/Steps

Individual test scripts or actions

• Web tests, Mobile tests, API tests, Desktop tests

• Action nodes (Wait, Retry, Stop, Email, etc.)

• Can be connected in sequences

Environments

Different deployment targets

• Development, Staging, Production, QA

• Environment-specific configurations

• Different URLs, credentials, settings

Reports

Execution results and analytics

• Pass/fail status for each test

• Execution time tracking

• Logs and screenshots

• Historical trends

Common Use Cases

Use Case 1: E-Commerce Testing

API: Create Account → Web: Login → Web: Add Item → Web: Checkout → Email: Order Confirmation

Use Case 2: Mobile App Validation

API: Setup Test Data → iOS App: Run Tests → Android App: Run Tests → API: Cleanup

Use Case 3: API Integration Testing

API: Get User → API: Create Order → API: Process Payment → API: Send Notification

Use Case 4: Smoke Testing

Login Test → Dashboard Load → Key Feature Test → Logout
