According to the required textbook for this course, on page 145, “Some strategies that can be used to test contingency plans are”:
- Desk Check Testing
- Structured walk-through Testing
- Simulation Testing
- Simulation Testing
- Parallel testing Testing
- Full interruption Testing
- War gaming Testing
Discuss three (2) advantages and two(2) disadvantages of each type of testing listed above. When is each type of testing appropriate? Are there situations that preclude the use of a particular type of testing? Read the required textbook by Whiteman, Mattord & Green, Chapter 4 for answers. You must include an APA formatted in-text citation & reference list from your textbook. Only other references should be scholarly references.
DQ requirement: Note that the requirement is to post your initial response no later than Thursday and you must post one additional post during the week.
