Why each option
Moving a canvas app from a development environment to a test environment in Power Platform is done by exporting and importing a managed solution, the standard ALM approach for app promotion.
The configuration migration tool is designed to move reference and configuration data records between environments, not application artifacts such as canvas apps.
A managed solution bundles the canvas app and its dependencies into a distributable package that can be cleanly imported into a target environment such as test or production. It also prevents direct edits to the solution in the target environment, enforcing proper ALM governance and traceability.
A patch is used to ship incremental updates to an existing managed solution already present in a target environment, not to perform an initial promotion of an app from development to test.
Package Deployer handles complex deployments that bundle solutions, data, and custom code and is typically used in advanced DevOps pipelines, not as a recommendation for a straightforward app promotion between two environments.
