[Sigia-l] Testing a Search installation or implementation

[O'Neill, Todd]

Dear SIGIA:

I don't know where to turn. You're my last hope.  :)

You were more than generous with my last query. I appeal to your
collective experience and wisdom in this matter.

I'm a search engine newbie, as you may have suspected from my last post.
So I have another question or info request for you all.

I live, professionally, in a world of software development. Where a
website is composed of multiple "applications" and code is "deployed"
each week. CMM is the rule of the day. ALL of our pages are extensively
tested, since much of our content is imbedded in software applications.

So we are putting a search engine on our site and our IT folk wish to
run it through 3 weeks or so of software application product rigor. You
know, test cases, daily defect meetings, etc.
