I haven't used that approach before. Personally I'm a bit of a visibility pedant (yes I'm the one guy who uses the strict keyword) so I don't think I'm likely to use it very often. In general I don't unit test private methods, instead relying on my tests of the public methods, but when I do I've usually created my test cases in the same unit as the class I'm testing. Of course since my new favourite keyword "strict" appeared on the scene that technique isn't as useful for me as it once was. And of course there's always {$IFDEF TESTING}public{ELSE}private{$ENDIF}. Yuck! Interesting. I haven’t used that approach before.
