Disaster Recovery Testing: Exercising Your Contingency Plan

Philip Jan Rothstein, Editor (1994)
"Rather than providing readers with only one perspective on testing
contingency plans, Mr. Rothstein has taken the powerful approach of carefully
assembling a panel of thirty professionals to contribute their unique expertise
in 36 detailed chapters, 350 pages, covering such subject areas as:
 | test planning and management, including management's role, budgeting,
justification and politics |
 | test participants and resources, including professional development, human
factors, the test team, self-assessment, the roles of vendors, consultants,
auditors, clients, software |
 | testing methods, including walkthroughs, simulations, joint testing,
surprise testing, real disasters as the ultimate test |
 | what is being tested, including business units, locations, data centers,
voice / data communications, trading floors, local area networks |
 | any other practical considerations, such as test monitoring, first-time
testing, feedback, reporting and follow-up; even a sample test plan is
included. |
"According to Mr. Rothstein, President of Rothstein Associates Inc.,
'Testing is critical to any business continuity or disaster recovery program.
Yet, most books in the field devote at most a few pages to testing. As publisher
of THE ROTHSTEIN CATALOG ON DISASTER RECOVERY, the industry's principal source
for books, videos, research reports and software, I have observed that recovery
testing is the one subject area most often requested.'"
