The purpose of this test plan is to regression test the provider functionality, which in SmartSite includes: UserDirectoryProvider - Support for WebDav authentication (via Kerberos)
- Provide user account information (e.g. first,last,email,type) from outside data source (e.g. feed from Mothra)
GroupProvider - Assign roles to users who log in to SmartSite that correspond to Sakai internal roles (e.g. Student, Instructor) when applicable. These roles need to be queried from an external data source (e.g. Banner mViews), so that authorization can be determined in real-time.
- Define the sites a user belongs to when they log into SmartSite.
CourseManagementProvider - Retrieve dynamic rosters for courses
- Display current instructor(s) for coursescourse sites and display them as members in the course with appropriate role
- Display Banner course details in the SmartSite UI
- Update roster dynamically for a course given a specific time interval. Roster updates from Banner need to be displayed in the SmartSite application within a pre-determined allowable time period as defined by the user acceptance testing group.
