Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 825

An IS auditor is reviewing a data conversion project. Which of the following is the auditor's BEST recommendation prior to go-live?

Answer options

• A. Automate the test scripts.
• B. Conduct a mock conversion test.
• C. Review test procedures and scenarios.
• D. Establish a configuration baseline.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best recommendation is to conduct a mock conversion test, as it allows the team to identify any issues in the data migration process before going live. While automating test scripts, reviewing test procedures, and establishing a configuration baseline are important, they do not provide the same hands-on validation of the entire conversion process that a mock test does.
