Popis:	The primary goal of the present paper is the introduction of a new approach of defining IT unit business functions exact criticality levels and respectively categorize them to the appropriate recovery tests, prior to their thorough documentation which includes actual desired recovery time frames. The method is entitled as Business Continuity Testing Points and it is based on the concept of Use Case Points, a fundamental project estimation tool utilized for sizing of object-oriented system development. The aim of the contribution is to ameliorate the existing manual way of determining recovery time of IT business functions that is based exclusively on experience of IT personnel, by introducing a calculation method of multiple factors that can negatively affect the recovery process. The elimination of damage as a result of tested immediate response action in a crisis situation that disrupts core IT operations constitutes the aimed advantage of the proposed contribution Comment: 9 pages.
