Developing BCP tests

Answer:

The Kobayashi maru test is a no winning scenario designed to evaluate the response of personnel in a situation they have no hope to prevail, but they do not know that.

Considering that, to adapt this concept to a BCP test you have to meticulously develop a scenario where expected reactions of your personnel will not work, or will make situation worst. Additionally you can add time limits to achievement of some objectives. There is no definitive scenario to implement the Kobayashi maru test, so it can vary from a cascade failure of datacenter hardware to a sequence of disaster hitting you site.

The Fukushima Power Plan disaster (an earthquake followed by a tsunami), or the Chernobyl reactor explosion are examples of no win situations.
