Regression testing is widely studied in the literature, although most research on the topic is concerned with improving specific sub-challenges of a wider goal. Test suite orchestration proposes a more comprehensive view of the challenge of regression testing, by merging and combining different techniques with a variety of objectives, including prioritizing, selecting, reducing and amplifying tests, detecting flaky tests and potentially more. This paper presents the key approaches and techniques that form test suite orchestration, along with common evaluation metrics, and discusses how they can be used together to ultimately provide an efficient and effective regression testing strategy. To illustrate the benefits of orchestration, we provide some examples of existing papers that take steps towards this goal, even if the specific terminology is not yet used. Orchestrated strategies utilizing existing regression testing techniques provide a pathway to practicality and real-world usage of the academic literature.
