Suppose I have a package
(defpackage #:foo (:use :cl))
(in-package #:foo)

(defun triple (x) (* 3 x))

Triple is an internal for the foo package. Then I have a package foo-
test.
(defpackage #:foo-test (:use :cl :foo :some-test-library))
(in-package #:foo-test)

How do you write tests for internal symbols such as triple? Do you
prefix them or import them into the test package?

Either way is fine, choose what is convenient. I usually import
the internal symbols I need into unit-test packages.

So far I have been using lisp-unit only. In addition for correctness,
I use the unit-testing file to test symbol exports as well. Thus, to
test unexported symbols, I have to prefix them. This off-course, will
not flag an erroneously exported symbol.
