testGagglePackage: Run unit tests for the Gaggle Package

In gaggle: Broadcast data between R and Gaggle

Description

There are five data types supported in the Gaggle:

1. nameLists

2. matrices

3. networks

4. tuples (environments in R)

5. clusters (typically, row names and associated column names, selecting a submatix)

A good test of an installation, therfore, is to send each of these data types from R to an ‘echo goose’, and to make sure that the returned data is identical to that which was sent out. This function loads the RUnit package, assumes that a boss and echo goose are running and properly configured, then calls one function for each data type.

Procedure:

1. Browse to http://gaggle.systemsbiology.net/projects/rValidation

2. start the Gaggle Boss

3. start the echo goose

4. (back in R): testGagglePackage ()

For more details, please examine the source: unitTests/gaggleTest.R.
