What is Recovery Testing ?

Recovery Testing

Recovery testing is a type of non-functional testing. Recovery testing is done to verify the system’s capability to recover after it has undergone any kind of crash or hardware failure. It is the forced failure of software in various ways to determine and verify that recovery is performed perfectly. The main aim of recovery testing is to conclude whether operations can be accomplished after a disaster or after the integrity of the system has been lost.

Recovery testing consists of going back to a point where the integrity of the system was well established and reprocessing the transactions up to that point of system failure. Following the failure, the failover mechanism is tested to make sure that the data is not corrupted or lost. Also, it is made sure that the agreed service levels are maintained and met.

Why Perform Recovery Testing?

Disasters don’t come with an invitation. They don’t occur often but they do, the results and effects can be calamitous.

Recovery testing is usually neglected by various organizations which makes it problematic to recover when any disruption or disaster occurs. Recovery tests should be executed and scheduled regularly. You might have a backup in place during failure but recovery testing ensures that the backup is truly as foolproof as it needs to be.

The main objective of Disaster Recovery testing is to ensure that whenever a disaster or failure happens the data recovery plan is efficient enough to work. Data recovery testing acknowledges whether the backup is doubtlessly as flawless and reliable as it needs to be.

Main Reasons to test disaster Recovery Plan



IT FAILURES


Most of the accidental failure and downtime are caused by hardware and software failure which are most of the time out of control. Hence to make sure the recovery time is minimum it is recommended to store the backup in an offsite storage site.



NATURAL DISASTERS OR MAN-MADE FAILURES

Natural disasters or man-made failures Humans are not perfect, therefore man-made mistakes are inevitable. The same goes for natural disasters, which too are inevitable. Factoring possible natural calamities in the recovery plan and running disaster recovery testing can help in the long run.




CYBER SECURITY


Companies are prone to malware and software attacks by hackers if they are not careful. By running disaster recovery testing ahead, existing vulnerabilities can be identified and taken care of, leaving no loose ends for hackers to exploit.



DOWNTIME AND CUSTOMER lOSS

Even with 1-2 hours of downtime, the amount of loss can be huge. Investing in a replication solution and quality backup grants you to diminish the losses and achieve business continuity. Running a Disaster recovery test can help you in determining the recovery time objective and recovery point objective, by adjusting the plan as required.



COMPLIANCE


In today’s digital age access to data and application 24/7 has become the most essential requirement. Proper testing of a disaster recovery plan can make sure that company downtime is minimized and business continuity takes place.

At Teknotrait Solutions, our testing experts have extensive knowledge about the expected behaviors with various applied algorithms. 

We follow a step by step process to make sure proper recovery testing takes place.

Analyzing recovery objectives and targets.

Present you with a detailed disaster recovery testing plan before getting the approval.

Verifying test objectives to set the right expectations.

Authenticate that production and the recovery environment are in-sync.

Complete review of network connectivity.

Confirming and reviewing of all test scripts to check whether the codes are accurate.

Ensuring production replication is not impacted by the testing.

Coordinating results to documented recovery objectives.

Before the disaster recovery test goes live, we perform a dry run.This uncovers and fixes potential problems.

Documentation of uncovered issues in the runbook.

At a high level, document objectives for the next test to prepare for and ensure a different testing scenario.

Benefits And Methods of Recovery Testing

Recovery testing assures that systems, applications, and services are restored in short times. This, in turn, reduces the RTO and RPO
Reduction in restore time ensures that the loss due to downtime is reduced

Disaster Recovery Testing eliminates the risk by exposing the potential flaws that can lead to the failure or disruption of the application.The more time your application takes to recover chances are that you are at high risk of losing your customers to your competitors.

System or service downtime can destroy and cause problems to a firm’s reputation.Needless to say that it is extremely hard to get back a damaged reputation after a downtime which has caused inconvenience to to your customers due to the downtime.Recovery testing ensures that such things can be avoided.

Planned recovery can restore the operation in a controlled manner in all stages. This not only increases the quality of the system but also ensures that the  system is working as expected.Disaster recovery testing makes sure that a complete recovery of data and services takes place.

The lesser the time in recovery, the lesser it will make an impact on your performance.Reduced downtime and replication of business infrastructure on disaster recovery sites ensure that there is no impact on the performance.

The lesser the time in recovery, the lesser it will make an impact on your performance.Reduced downtime and replication of business infrastructure on disaster recovery sites ensure that there is no impact on the performance.

Most of the organizations rely on digital information and with increase in this, hackers have also increased.By having an efficient disaster recovery plan at place, infrastructure vulnerabilities can be identified and handled sooner.

Recovery testing can be personalized wherein you can choose the replication frequency and establish the best recovery times for the business. Such customization only helps in the smooth running of the system and application

In this type of testing, disaster recovery teams will read and annotate recovery test plan documents and footnotes. These may include disaster recovery policies, procedures, benchmarks, and timelines. The copies of these documents must be stored securely both in hard copy and soft copy.
This testing type consists of having a group walk through the disaster recovery plans to diagnose any issues that may arise or need to be addressed. Any modification which needs to be done also will be made to the recovery scenario.
Parallel testing makes sure that the recovery systems are tested such that in case of actual failure of disaster, they can perform the real business transactions and functions.Parallely, the primary systems process the full production load
In Cutover testing, primary systems are disconnected during the test. the full production workload in case of a disaster will be done by the failover recovery systems. This is tested in cutover testing.
