what access modifier should unit tests have ?

public

@LastExceed I think public with @VisibleForTesting annotation. Try out with private and protected too. I am not sure

https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/annotation/VisibleForTesting

@VisibleForTesting is for when you change the visibility of something you’re testing (the class/method under test) needs to be made public in order to make it testable. I believe when using Java, using it can give you warning.

It’s essentially a note to other developer to explain why something has a relaxed visibility

Maybe i'm a little late now, but how about internal?
If someone else uses your module, then they probably don't care about your tests.

the tests are not exported anyway.
