risk.assessr

Overview

risk.assessr helps in the initial determining of a package’s reliability and security in terms of maintenance, documentation, and dependencies.

This package is designed to carry out a risk assessment of R packages at the beginning of the validation process (either internal or open source).

It calculates risk metrics such as:

Core metrics - includes R command check, unit test coverage and composite coverage of dependencies

Documentation metrics - availability of vignettes, news tracking, example(s), return object description for exported functions, and type of license

Dependency Metrics - package dependencies and reverse dependencies

It also calculates a:

Traceability matrix - matching the function / test descriptions to tests and match to test pass/fail

Description

This package executes the following tasks:

upload the source package(tar.gz file)
Unpack the tar.gz file
Install the package locally
Run code coverage
Run a traceability matrix
Run R CMD check
Run risk assessment metrics using default or user defined weighting

Notes

This package fixes a number of errors in pharmaR/riskmetric

running R CMD check and code coverage with locally installed packages
user defined weighting works
Suggests added to checking dependencies
assess_dependencies and assess_reverse_dependencies has sigmoid point increased
assess_dependencies has value range changed to fit in with other scoring metrics

Installation

Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) on github
- Log into your github account
- Go to the token settings URL using the Token Settings URL
  - (do not forget to add the SSH Sanofi-Public authorization)
Create a .Renviron file with your GITHUBTOKEN as:

# .Renviron
GITHUBTOKEN=dfdxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxfdf

restart R session
You can install the package with:

auth_token = Sys.getenv("GITHUBTOKEN")
devtools::install_github("Sanofi-Public/risk.assessr", ref = "main", auth_token = auth_token)

Usage

Assessing your own package

To assess your package, do the following steps:

1 - save your package as a tar.gz file

This can be done in RStudio -> Build Tab -> More -> Build Source Package

2 - Run the following code sample by loading or add path parameter to your tar.gz package source code

# for local tar.gz R package
risk_assess_package <- risk_assess_pkg()

risk_assess_package <- risk_assess_pkg(path/to/your/package)

Assessing from local renv.lock file

This function processes renv.lock to produce risk metric data for each package.

# for local renv.lock file

risk_assess_package <- risk_assess_pkg(path/to/your/package)

Note: This process can be very time-consuming and is recommended to be performed as a batch job or within a GitHub Action.

Assessing Open source R package on CRAN or bioconductor

To check a source code package from CRAN or bioconductor, run the following code:

risk_assess_package <- assess_pkg_r_package(package_name, package_version)

Current/Future directions

Github action to call risk.assessr data (from R package/renv managed project)
More fine grained features for test coverage report
Produce database of risk assessment for Sanofi packages
