Mr. Indecisive is in charge of the testing phase of the Business Continuity Plan. He is debating whether or not he should schedule his test ahead of time with the participants or create a surprise test instead. What advice should you give him?
  1. All tests should be previously scheduled with the participants so that they can clear their schedules
  2. Depending on the nature of the test, it might make sense to create a surprise test
  3. All tests should be surprise tests - this will best simulate a real crisis
  4. It does not matter whether the test is a surprise or planned since the results will be the same either way
Explanation
Answer: B - The choice between surprise testing and planned/scheduled testing depends on what the objective of the testing exercise is.

Key Takeaway: Both planned (and pre-warned) testing and surprise testing are appropriate and should be used when testing the Business Continuity Plan for effectiveness. Depending on the objective of the testing scenario, either method could be used.
