Page 17 of 18 Testing the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) Types of test types: - Checklist Copies of the plan are sent to different department managers and business unit managers for review. This is a simple test and should be used in conjunction with other tests.
- Structured Walk-through Team members and other individuals responsible for recovery meet and walk through the plan step-by-step to identify errors or assumptions.
- Simulation This is a simulation of an actual emergency. Members of the response team act in the same way as if there was a real emergency.
- Parallel This is similar to simulation testing, but the primary site is uninterrupted and critical systems are run in parallel at the alternative and primary sites.
- Full interruption This test involves all facets of the company in a response to an emergency. It mimics a real disaster where all steps are performed to test the plan. Systems are shut down at the primary site and all individuals who would be involved in a real emergency, including internal and external organizations, participate in the test. This test is the most detailed, time-consuming, and expensive all of these.
