The Disaster Recovery Coordinator (DRC) will be documenting the test as it actually occurs. Also on site will be an auditing analyst from Internal Audit and external analysts. The external analyst was hired by TC to have a Third party monitor the test to ensure that procedures were being followed and to document issues that occurred during the test. Any issues from the test will be resolved as if there was an actual disaster.
After the test, the Disaster Recovery Coordinator will be issuing a post mortem of what actually occurred during the test. To accomplish this, the DRC will draft a copy of the post mortem that contains:
Management summary
Graphs showing what the goals and objectives estimated benchmarks were and how long they actually took
Test issues with the associated Infoman records
Detail of the test in the form of test notes
Timeline from MS Project showing the detail of the estimated completion
Time of tasks vs. actual completion time of tasks.
The DRC will then conduct a meeting to ensure that everyone has consensus of what actually occurred during the test. Then the final document will be distributed to senior management within TC.
