How to run tests against IL Linked assemblies?

[rubberduck203]

The IL Linker announced in #915 is fantastic.
I'm seeing a 71% reduction in final size!

The Linker Instructions mention that the final executables need to be tested after linking.

Linking only happens during publish, and therefore the linked app needs to be tested after publish, not just after build.

This makes complete sense, but I can't find any information on how to run my tests with dotnet test against an already compiled executable. Is there a way? If so, can this information (or a link to it) be added to the linker instructions?

That is a great question. @ManishJayaswal can you give any advice on how someone can run their tests against a published output?

I don't think we have a good solution at this time other than to publish the tests as apps and then run them.
@codito - do you know if you guys are thinking about this?
