Recovery Testing

What is Recovery Testing?

Recovery testing checks how well an application can recover from crashes, hardware failures, network outages, or other catastrophic problems.

Key Aspects Verified

• Whether the application can restart correctly after an unexpected failure.
• Whether data integrity is preserved and no data is lost or corrupted.
• How quickly the system can resume normal operations after recovery.

Why It Matters

Recovery testing is critical for systems that must maintain high availability, such as banking or e-commerce platforms, where failures must be handled gracefully without impacting users.
