Amanda is testing her company’s incident response process and has her staff perform actual recovery actions without impacting production to validate how long it would take to accomplish them. What type of event has she conducted?

Amanda has conducted a simulation, or walk-through, where actual recovery actions are simulated to ensure that recovery plans will work as expected. A fail over test moves production to a backup environment like a hot site, and a plan review is just that—a review of the response plan. A tabletop exercise involves discussions about the scenario and what would be done without taking any actual action.
