During disaster-recovery testing, which method is characterized by stakeholders gathering in a meeting (or virtual) room to walk through a simulated scenario strictly as a discussion, without performing any physical system failover or recovery operations?
A tabletop exercise is a discussion-based walkthrough that validates roles, communication paths, and documented procedures. Because no production systems are taken offline and no resources are actually failed over, it carries minimal risk and cost. In contrast, hot-site failover tests, full-scale simulations, and active-passive switchover drills all require some level of live system recovery or redirection of services.
