The goal is to prove how fast the application can recover from any kind of crash or hardware failure, or other major problems in order to ensure that normal operations can be continued. Recovery testing verifies the effectiveness of the recovery operations, the backup procedures in place, and the training of the recovery personnel themselves. In the event of a disaster, Recovery Testing ensures that the integrity of your business can be restored without data loss, security breaches, or exceptional downtime.

Prior to testing, requirements must be documented to specify what should happen for each failure and the acceptable length of time for recovery. The time it takes to recover depends on the number of restart points, the volume of the application, and the tools available for the recovery operations.

Spartans’ Test Design and Test Execution Services are perfect for this kind of testing. With your requirements in hand, our seasoned staff can create a thorough recovery test plan and execute it using all possible failure and disaster scenarios.
