Week 14 — Lesson 4: Reproducibility: seeds, versions, a smoke test

3 min

Your NorthPeak project will be run by a reviewer, by the teacher, and by you in three months. A result is reproducible when another person, on another laptop, runs your commands in order and gets your numbers. Four things change numbers between two runs: randomness, library versions, the order of the steps, and files that exist only on your disk. This lesson covers the fix for each, and the smoke test that proves the pieces answer.

Preview — the rest of the lesson is for enrolled readers.
