Multiple choice technology testing

While an application is running, suddenly restart the computer, and afterwards check the validness of the application's data integrity This comes under which type of testing?

  1. Recovery testing

  2. Reliability testing

  3. Performance testing

  4. Load testing

A Correct answer
Explanation

Recovery testing specifically tests how well a system recovers from crashes, failures, or unexpected conditions like sudden restarts. It verifies that data integrity is maintained and the system can properly restore itself after crashes. The scenario describes exactly what recovery testing is - restart the computer while application is running, then check data integrity. Reliability, performance, and load testing don't focus on crash recovery scenarios.

AI explanation

Recovery testing specifically checks how well a system copes with crashes, hardware failures, or other disruptions, and whether it can restore data integrity afterward. Forcibly restarting the computer mid-run and then verifying the application's data is exactly this kind of disruption-and-recovery check. Reliability and performance testing focus on sustained correct operation and speed under load, not recovery from an abrupt failure.
