Definition

Regularly practicing disaster recovery procedures to ensure they work when needed. Like fire drills that prepare you for real emergencies.

Real-World Example

Companies perform quarterly DR tests where they intentionally switch to backup systems to verify recovery plans work correctly.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

DR Testing is a practice/process, not a single cloud service. All major clouds provide building blocks (backup, replication, runbooks, monitoring) you use to design and run disaster recovery tests.
