Business Continuity Professional Exam Prep #2

Answer: D - Full scale testing will provide the most feedback to the BCP team about how the plans will be implemented because it tests multiple aspects of the BPC and tests them in the most realistic way possible.

Key Takeaway: Full scale testing should be used after doing smaller tests using the other testing types. However, just because there is a significant amount of work and planning involved in a full scale test, it does not mean that it should be skipped. Full scale testing can often be the only means of determining whether significant outages exist in either the Business Continuity Plan itself or the training of that plan to employees and team members.
