I use a package to contain simple functions that can be handled by unit tests
for correctness and more complex functions that combine the simple functions
with business logic. Where there are proposals to change either the simple
functions or the business logic, a sample needs to be run before
Dear Stephanie,
Have a look at the testthat package and the related article in the R Journal.

I have unit tests using testthat but these are typically of these types:
1) Check for correct calculation for a single set of valid inputs
2) Check for correct calculation for a larger set of valid inputs
3) Check for errors when providing incorrect inputs
4) Check for known frailties / past issues
If you don't intend to keep the old business logic in the long run,
perhaps a version control system such as Git can help you. If you use it
in single-user mode, you can think of it as a backup system where you
manually create each snapshot and give it a name, but it actually can do
much more.
There is a small problem in the CRAN submission form, which is not super
urgent but probably good to be aware of.
So I noticed that after I submitted a package, the submission was confirmed
without me actually clicking the link in the confirmation email (which
could be a potential security risk).

Early on I had been wondering if deprecating I() and the AsIs class would
be a way to get the problem to go away. I imagine (based on no data at
all!) that they are rarely used. If I were writing the same code today, I
would use options(stringsAsFactors=FALSE) instead of sprinkling I() here
