Automated DR Testing

Test recovery as often as your environment changes.

Manual DR tests are rare, disruptive, and quickly out of date. EnsureDR automates complex recovery testing across infrastructure, applications, databases, networking, and dependencies — on schedule or on demand.

Why automate

The annual DR exercise cannot keep up.

Every untested change becomes part of your recovery risk. Configuration drift does not wait for the yearly test.

  • Repeatable execution — the same rigorous test, every time.
  • Full-site and granular — a whole site or a single service.
  • Reduced manual effort — remove weeks of coordination.
  • Lower operational risk — test without endangering production.

How it works

From discovery to evidence, without manual choreography.

1. Discover

EnsureDR maps the environment and its dependencies.

2. Model

Recovery order and startup sequences are captured.

3. Execute

Automated tests run against the recovery environment.

4. Validate

Systems are checked for start, connectivity, and function.

5. Score & report

Readiness, findings, and evidence are produced automatically.

Test scope

From a full site to a single workload.

Testing scope matches how the business runs, not how the infrastructure is organized.

Full-site testing

Validate an entire recovery site end to end in one orchestrated run.

Business-service testing

Test the complete set of systems behind one business service, in order.

Application-group testing

Validate related applications and their shared dependencies together.

Workload-level testing

Test a single workload when a change or a finding demands it.

Scheduled testing

Run on a recurring schedule so readiness stays current as the environment changes.

On-demand testing

Trigger a test after a migration, an upgrade, or a corrective action.

What every test includes

Checks that go beyond “it powered on.”

  • Pre-test checks before execution begins
  • Startup sequencing in the modeled recovery order
  • Dependency validation across tiers and services
  • Application checks — start, connect, operate
  • Network and authentication checks
  • Recovery-time measurement against the target RTO
  • Test cleanup when the run completes
  • Reporting generated from every run
  • Recommended corrective actions for every failure
  • Retesting to confirm the fix
Production safety

How EnsureDR protects production during testing.

Recovery testing is only useful if it cannot become the incident it is trying to prevent.

Tests run in the recovery environment

Recovery tests execute against recovery infrastructure, not against production workloads.

Production stays unchanged

EnsureDR does not modify production systems as part of a recovery test.

Isolated test execution

Test runs are kept separate from production traffic so validation does not interfere with live operations.

Cleanup after every run

Test resources are cleaned up when the run completes, so tests do not accumulate cost or clutter.

Tests can be stopped

A running test can be interrupted, and failures in the test do not cascade into production.

Deployment-appropriate details

Specific isolation, permission, and credential-handling details are covered during evaluation for your deployment model.
