What is required for executing a test during a deployment?

Executing a test during a deployment necessitates that the test run checkbox must be selected. This requirement ensures that the deployment process explicitly includes the execution of tests that have been defined for the application. It serves as a mechanism to verify that the code changes introduced during the deployment do not negatively impact the existing functionality. By checking this box, users signal that they want tests to run, thereby incorporating quality assurance into the deployment pipeline.

While other options may bring attention to various aspects of testing and deployment, they do not directly pertain to the specific requirement for initiating tests. For example, approval from an admin can be a part of governance, but it does not directly influence whether tests will execute during deployment. Similarly, while all test cases passing is an ideal situation, it is not a requirement to execute them; tests can run regardless of their individual outcomes. Lastly, integration tests being the only ones that should run is a misconception, as it is not a requirement nor a standard practice to limit testing to only one category during deployments.
