I try but I find it very hard. Do you have more precision about the part
that explain it ? I read it several time, but I did not find that much on
tests.

So I do it on my own way. But I would love to know more about the way used
by real programmer. 

So far :
 - I am writing my code in several files /myPack/R/progA.R and
/myPack/R/progB.R
 - I am writing tests in /myPack/tests/testsProgA.R and
/myPack/tests/testsProgB.R
 - I am writing a main program in /myPack/main.R. This main program is
calling the tests.
 - Since the progB.R is an extension of progA.R, the testsB.R use some data
define in testsA.R

Before today, I was starting by
> load("../data/myData.rda")
> source("../R/prog.R")

But you tell me to do :
> library("myPack")
> data("myData")

Using this system is problematic during the development phase, since the
package is not ready and library(myPack) will not work

Any advice for a better way of working ?
