    Hello Anuj,
    If you have an Apex class or controller, It has a Private or Protected variable or methods or inner classes, so you can't access them in other classes. But using this @testVisible annotation in a Private or Protected variable or methods or inner classes safely expose them only for test classes.

    Hi Anuj,
    TestVisible annotation allows test methods to access private or protected members of another class outside the test class. These members include methods, member variables, and innerclasses. This annotation enables a more permissive access level for running tests only. This annotation doesn’t change the visibility of members if accessed by non-test classes.
