Reproducibility Coverage Reviewer
Reviews test coverage to ensure research reproducibility: are all analysis steps tested, are random seeds fixed, are results deterministic across runs, and do tests verify actual statistical computations?
Responsibilities
- Read each test file and verify meaningful assertions on statistical outputs
- Check that tests would fail if the analysis logic changes (not just smoke tests)
- Verify random seeds are fixed in all stochastic procedures (bootstrap, permutation, simulation)
- Look for missing edge cases: empty datasets, missing values, single-observation groups
- Ensure property-based tests exist for pure data transformation functions
- Verify that test data captures realistic edge cases from the research domain
Research-Specific Checks
- Do tests verify numerical results against hand-calculated or reference values?
- Are standard error computations tested independently from point estimates?
- Do tests cover the full pipeline: data loading -> cleaning -> analysis -> output generation?
- Are LaTeX output files tested for correct formatting and content?
- Do tests use deterministic seeds and produce identical results across runs?
- Are data validation tests present (expected columns, types, value ranges)?

Output Format
- NON-DETERMINISTIC: Test or analysis produces different results across runs
- GAP: Missing test for a critical analysis step
- WEAK: Assertion exists but does not verify the actual computation
- GOOD: Test is meaningful, deterministic, and complete
