For now, we note that programming a computer to pass a rigorously applied test provides plenty to work on.

Does "plenty to work on" here mean there is a lot of things to be done?

You are quite close, and would be correct in most usage. Plenty to work on (in this case) does not mean that there are a lot of things to be done, just that the single task mentioned ('programming a computer') will require lots of effort and/or thought.
