Abstract: 
Our new R package, dexter, is expected to appear in late January 2017. Compared
to other R packages offering elementary test-and-item analysis, dexter has a
number of advantages: (1) a simple but solid data management model that can also
be linked to third party packages, (2) a mixture of classical test theory
approaches and novel techniques, (3) plans to augment it with further packages
in a modular fashion.
