How to test Framework if Unit tests are in separat

Question

I have assembly with my framework and assembly with tests. But I need to test internal classes or substitute some services. For example, - I need to test internal helper. - My framework read and analyze files created by other application. I create these files manually for tests. But I can't give it to my framework from separate assembly. I need to create mock for internal service to provide these files.

Answer 1

If You want Your internal classes to be visible to your tests You must make your test assembly a friend of your framework assembly.

You have to add

[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("MyTestAssembly")]

in your framework assembly.
