Answer: C
A preparedness test is a localized version of a full test,
wherein resources are expended in the simulation of a system
crash. This test is performed regularly on different aspects
of the plan and can be a cost-effective way to gradually
obtain evidence about the plan's effectiveness. It also
provides a means to improve the plan in increments. A paper
test is a walkthrough of the plan, involving major players
in the plan's execution who attempt to determine what might
happen in a particular type of service disruption. A paper
test usually precedes the preparedness test. A post-test is
actually a test phase and is comprised of a group of
activities, such as returning all resources to their proper
place, disconnecting equipment, returning personnel and
deleting all company data from third-party systems. A
walk-through is a test involving a simulated disaster
situation that tests the preparedness and understanding of
management and staff, rather than the actual resources.
