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.
