Getting Started with Unit Testing in R

Shannon Pileggi and Gordon Shotwell led a hands-on workshop on how to get started with unit testing in R at the R-Ladies Philly November meetup. This workshop picked up exactly where we left our little ralph (aka R-Ladies Philly) package one year ago at the R package development workshop “Your first R package in 1 hour: Tools that make R package development easy”. Shannon and Gordon demonstrated handy functions in usethis and devtools, strategies for writing tests and debugging techniques, and discussed with participants on broad concepts in function writing that facilitate a smoother testing process.

Are you an R developer tasked with writing code for production? Do you worry that code changes will destabilize your code? Then join us at 6pm Philly time TODAY to learn about unit testing! #rstats https://t.co/YhEB6X3gRA
