6. Testing and Updating of the BCP

Testing of the BCP for each high priority area will utilize measures and procedures appropriate for the processes and operations involved. (e.g. Checklists, simulations, full interruption testing). The act of testing should not interfere with the normal university business and processes governing day to day operations. All significant aspects of the BCP must be included by the test procedures used. The test results should be documented and any corrective actions  incorporated.

It is essential to quantitatively measure the BCP test results, including: elapsed time to perform various activities, accuracy of each activity, and amount of work completed. Preformatted forms can be useful to document and evaluate test results.

Responsibility for testing and updating the document

It is imperative that this document be kept up-to-date. Each manager of the business processes and areas cited in this document should keep their BCP section current.
