Continuity Test Calendar
The Continuity Registration is a process that passes through several phases. The fourth phase is called Continuous Operation, where it will be defined the Continuity Awareness (Education and Training), Review and Continuity Audit, the Tests about the continuity, and its Invocation. This functionality allows viewing the events of service continuity tests.

Also, make sure to have the scope, vital functions, business impact analysis, risk evaluation, strategy, plan, organizational planning, the strategy of tests of continuity awareness already registered and the audit and review of the continuity already done.

It is equally essential to have registered the automatic actions to the incident, request and procedure about the Event Management.
