Methods are very much a work in progress! This is dependent on how you look at it. It is used for analysis at this stage already. So that would mean the current version is “in production” already. However it would be nice to have junit tests and have a formal process of releasing the package. In this stage we do not have the resources to go through that. It is very much dependent on the time Tim and I can put into it.
I agree with Sido - properly testing this is the next step. At the moment I just fix bugs when people tell me about them, but as I haven’t written a package before I don’t know how to set up the testing. The other thing that I will do over the next month or so is to write vignettes for all of the functions.
No, not properly
Help files, but no vignettes
No, but I think disclosure problems very unlikely as it just calls existing datashield functions
Is the package suitable for deployment in the production environment? (Yes/No)
We need to make a first official release still.
Does your package have features to protect the privacy of data, or does it just provide remote analysis functionality?
It is a client side package which leans on dsBaseClient so it used implicitly the protection methods included in the dsBaseClient
