Software testing is complex and, if not done right, can rapidly lose your customers. This article discusses the different types of testing and their importance in developing a product that your customer needs.

In this article, we discuss the high-level blueprint for your journey in developing your product in the right way. First, we start with the overview of our blueprint before discussing each component briefly in the subsequent articles. Also, we discuss some terminologies that you should be aware of when building your ideal development or engineering team.

In this short series, we explore some of the complexities, pitfalls, provide some guidance on where to start, and explain different terminologies that need to be learned by the non-technical startup founders. Although we touch on ideation and validation of startup ideas, we will focus more on software development from a startup perspective.

In the last article, we discussed testing your IT Disaster Recovery strategy in detail. In addition, we discussed setting test objectives, selecting the testing method, and preparing and facilitating the testing.

In this article, we discuss documenting, presenting your strategy for approval, and operationalizing it.

In this article, we discuss testing your strategy developed in the previous article. We recommend you test your DR organization structure and the management processes using a structured walkthrough and scenario-based tabletop exercise.

This article discusses the required information and the components that are part of your IT Disaster Recovery strategy.

In the previous article, we discussed the need for documenting your organization’s IT disaster recovery plan. Then we discussed the preparation required to conduct the Business Impact Analysis (BIA). In this article, we will discuss the BIA and risk assessment.

93% of companies without Disaster Recovery who suffer a major data disaster are out of business within one year. Despite this statistic, the IT Disaster Recovery Plan is a crucial but often overlooked document in a business.

This article serves as an introduction to the process of documenting such a plan.

This article concludes our InfoSec strategy series. In the DISCUSS, AGREE, and FINALIZE phases of your security strategy development, the focus is to gain widespread acceptance so that you can confidently begin implementation. This is achieved by presenting the strategy to specific segments of your organization and then tweaking as necessary. Once the strategy is approved, it’s time to develop the implementation roadmap for the year’s strategy or specific programs. And just like that, your entire organization will have peace of mind that its information is safe.

Continuing from where we left off in the previous article, we discuss the DEFINE phase's remaining four goals.

Referencing your corporate goals is an important part step towards developing an effective InfoSec strategy. Once the alignment is satisfactory, you need to document the strategy for discussion. This strategy is not final since it should be discussed with your stakeholders before implementation. You should avoid providing concrete timelines for your strategy and instead adopt maturity levels. Furthermore, consulting with potential vendors will help you determine a realistic budget. When the strategy is approved, the programs will have a definite timeline and fine-tune the budget.
