This is an area where R really shines. I still test my code with Splus (3.3) but I
switched to maintaining it in R because of the test (quality assurance) facilities for
packages. The tests indicated above are in $(RHOME)/tests and can be run when you
build from source (in Linux or Unix) with
./configure
make
make check
I expect what you really want is your own test suite. To do this put your code in an R
package (see "Writing R Extensions") and put the tests in the tests directory. If the
test code executes stop() or ends abnormally for another reason, then checking or
building the package will fail with an error message indicating a problem. If you are
really interested in this I will expand sometime.
