Why each option
A checklist test for disaster recovery involves distributing recovery checklists to team members for review and identifying inconsistencies or gaps.
A parallel test involves running critical systems at an alternate site simultaneously with the primary site to verify functionality without disrupting the primary environment.
A simulation test involves simulating a disaster scenario to test specific aspects of the recovery plan, often with some level of system downtime or resource commitment.
A full-interruption test, also known as a full-scale or cutover test, involves completely shutting down primary systems and fully activating the alternate recovery site to test a complete recovery.
A checklist test, also known as a document review or desk check, is a non-disruptive disaster recovery test where team members review their assigned recovery checklists and procedures to ensure they understand their roles and to identify any inconsistencies or gaps without actual system interruption.
