I've had good experiences using RUnit. To date, I've mostly used RUnit by putting tests in inst/unitTests and creating a Makefile there to run the tests. You should also be able to use RUnit in a more interactive fashion inside an interactive R session in which you are doing development. The vignette in svUnit has an interesting approach for integrating unit testing into R CMD check via examples in an Rd file within the package. + seth -- Seth Falcon | @sfalcon | http://userprimary.net/user ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
