Test recovery before choosing a tool Silent video. [0–6] Follow one sales request • Illustrative example • Sales request • CRM record • REQ-A The illustrative request REQ-A moves towards its CRM record. [6–12] The notification fails • CRM record already saved • CRM saved • Notification failed • REQ-A The CRM record remains saved while a notification failure is highlighted. [12–18] Check the request ID • Before another write • Retry request • Check ID • REQ-A The retry identifier REQ-A moves into the check step before any new CRM write. [18–24] Reuse the existing record • Proposed recovery rule • REQ-A • CRM record A connector traces REQ-A to the existing CRM record with the same identifier. This illustrates a rule to test. [24–30] Review the recovery test • Repeat in both tools • Duplicate test • Owner review • REQ-A The duplicate-test case moves to operator review. The comparison requires evidence from both tools, not a declared winner.
