Artifactexecutes is a term used in software engineering to denote the action of running a built software artifact in a controlled environment. An artifact is a byproduct of the build process, such as binaries, libraries, containers, or packaged applications. The operation is often part of release automation, testing, or deployment pipelines.
In practice, artifactexecution involves retrieving the artifact from an artifact repository, verifying its integrity and provenance,
Contexts for artifactexecutes include continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines, where the step validates that the
Security and governance considerations are central to the concept: verifying artifact provenance, enforcing least privilege execution,
