Explanation

To minimize downtime, testing should occur in a virtual lab, not production. The best approach is to test solutions methodically: implement one solution at a time, run an attack simulation, collect metrics, roll back, and repeat. This isolates each solution's effectiveness, ensuring accurate metrics for decision-making without production impact.
