Abstract:
|
As the number of packages available for R continues to grow, maintaining and testing these packages becomes more difficult. This difficulty is compounded as independent implementations of the R language, such as TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R (TERR), are developed. To address this, we have created a framework for testing packages with both TERR and R. We will describe how the framework automatically creates tests from a package's source files. Issues with stochastic algorithms and testing on multiple platforms will be discussed. Suggestions for improving packages with tests will also be presented.
