Lightgbm: Need much more tests

[henry0312]

It's necessary to write much more tests to keep the quality of LightGBM.
I can contribute to python-package.

TODO:

• [ ] Tests for C++
• [x] Tests for Python
• [x] Tests for R

[chivee]

That will be great! Please help us on the test, and leveraging travis for a better release strategies. we are planing a better versioning for the release, so that the package users can stick to the stable version

Adding some tests on multi-class and lambdarank tasks will be great.

[henry0312]

I start with python-package from today :)

@henry0312 tests are completed for Python I think. For R we need to setup Travis for it.

[henry0312]

@Laurae2 no, the current tests doesn't cover all of the python-package.

@wxchan I'd like to use nose. What do you think about nose?

[henry0312]

I'll go with nose

@jameslamb Thanks to all your hard work, I believe we can tick Tests for R now in the original comment. WDYT?

[jameslamb]

I think so, yes! I think the R tests are in a much better place than they were when this issue was opened
