Tests

Contributors, please do one or more of the following tests before contacting the mentors above.

MENTORS: write several tests that potential contributors can do to demonstrate their capabilities for this particular project. Ask some hard questions that will give you insight about how the contributors write code to solve problems. You'll see that the harder the questions that you ask, the easier it will be for you to choose between the contributors that apply for your project! Please modify the suggestions below to make them specific for your project.

  • Easy: something that any useR should be able to do, e.g. download some existing package listed in the Related Work, and run it on some example data.
  • Medium: something a bit more complicated. You can encourage contributors to write a script or some functions that show their R coding abilities.
  • Hard: Can the contributor write a package with Rd files, tests, and vignettes? If your package interfaces with non-R code, can the contributor write in that other language?

Solutions of tests

Contributors, please post a link to your test results here.
