Business Continuity Professional Exam Prep #2

Answer: C - Before any other tasks are completed, it is essential to define the goals and expectations of the test itself. By completing this task first, you will then be able to assign testing responsibility to the correct person. That person can then define the scope of the test and schedule it accordingly.

Key Takeaway: When establishing testing goals and expectations, there are many different scenarios. Goals can vary from testing an overall system for capability to testing capacity of a certain system, such as a phone call-in center. Another purpose of testing can be to provide practice for employees and reduce response time (as in a fire drill).
