How to track backup and restore tests?

[danssnowquests]

Our compliance team wants to track back up and restore testing of each business application.  Essentially, they are making sure that they do a test each period of time and tracking which Business applications they have done it for then each quarter choosing one that has not had a backup and restore test done recently. 

My thoughts are this could be tracked as a field on the business application but that may result in unnecessary data being added to a business application record.   

• Have an audit history of test runs that can identify the related business application
• Be easily able to find the last one that had been completed for a give

Any suggestions for where backup and restore tests should be tracked. Does adding it to a business application make sense or is there some other module that would be better suited?

This really depends on how many applications you are talking about and what modules you are using in your system. Because tracking on the record is fine (just add the fields and set reminders), but if you also want to track the work done and issues being handled, etc, you may need something else, which could be a standard change process (where the goal is not to change anything, but to validate). This could also be done through PPM, but as I said, it all depends on what you are using and what you exactly need to be tracked.
