I've done some fairly basic tests and found that a Portable Library Class project and a normal Class Library for the tests work well.

The caveat to this is that I've yet to find an MVVM framework built for portable class libraries, making the View Models untestable...unless...you use file linking (and assuming the View Models inherit from an MVVM framework specific base class).

EDIT:

It seems as though there's a Prism (v4.5) release that's built on Portable Class Libraries...

It's not, at the time of writing at least, on NuGet in either stable or pre-release, but I'll do some investigation into its usage and update.

I've also had word that the Windows Phone 8 SDK will be able to target Windows Phone 7.
