Enterprise Portals: Page 5 of 5

Users will use the search to determine whether security restrictions are upheld by:

  1. Searching for documents known to be accessible
  2. Searching for documents known to be inaccessible
  3. Attempting to circumvent the controls placed on the user to access documents/information not allowed by security features

Search functionality will be evaluated in terms of how well it enforces security policies and how it is integrated into the product, i.e., is it integrated, can the user do federated searches, what objects within the portal are searchable (people, documents, discussions, portlets, free text, etc.)?

Evaluation of Customization Capabilities/Development of the Portal

To test the capability and standards compliance of each portal, we will attempt to design a portal that incorporates several internal and external sources of data. This will allow us to evaluate:

  1. Compliance with standards
  2. Interoperability
  3. Breadth of out-of-box components
  4. Development environment for custom portlets/gadgets
