Even if we have a Makefile or something similar to separate the test code when shipping product.
In my opinion, they should be separate, but i am not entirely convinced as to WHY
Yes, they should be separate (folders and preferably projects). Some reasons:
Modern IDEs will allow you to work on code from separate projects/folders as if they were adjacent.
The worst thing you can do is to include test and production code in the same file (with conditional compilation, different entry points, etc.). Not only can this confuse developers trying to read the code, you always run the risk of accidentally shipping test code.
