And how can you test private method if they cannot be called from outside the class?Well, among other reasons (subclassing) that's why it's better to use a protected method instead of a private method, unless you have a very good reason to make it private. I you still have private methods, well, there's no way to test them directly, but you can always test the protected or public method that calls it, and check that the private method code coverage is ok. -- David
