Use one package per library. If you want to document your library,

While by and large this does seem to work well, there is often value in having a second package for the tests, that uses the library’s main package. Otherwise you can accidentally use internal symbols in your tests in ways not publicly exposed to real users of your library; on those occasions when you really do need access to internal symbols in your tests it seems better to have to explicitly import or qualify them.
