At the core of the library is IFileSystem and FileSystem. Instead of calling methods like File.ReadAllText directly, use IFileSystem.File.ReadAllText. We have exactly the same API, except that ours is injectable and testable. The library also ships with a series of test helpers to save you from having to mock out every call, for basic scenarios. They are not a complete copy of a real-life file system, but they'll get you most of the way there. We even support casting from the .NET Framework's untestable types to our testable wrappers. Since version 4.0 the top-level APIs expose interfaces instead of abstract base classes (these still exist, though), allowing you to completely mock the file system.
