一种方法是保护您的方法，并编写一个继承要测试的类的测试fixture。这样，您既没有将方法公开，但是启用了测试。

如果您想对私有方法进行单元测试，那么可能会出现一些错误。单元测试(一般来说)用于测试类的接口，即类的公共(和受保护)方法。你当然可以“破解”一个解决方案(即使只是通过公开方法)，但你可能还想考虑:

如果您想测试的方法确实值得测试，那么将它移到自己的类中可能是值得的。 向调用私有方法的公共方法添加更多测试，测试私有方法的功能。(正如评论者所指出的，只有当这些私有方法的功能确实是公共接口的一部分时，才应该这样做。如果它们实际上执行对用户隐藏的功能(即单元测试)，这可能是不好的)。

在调试模式下构建时，你也可以将其声明为public或internal(使用InternalsVisibleToAttribute):

    /// <summary>
    /// This Method is private.
    /// </summary>
#if DEBUG
    public
#else
    private
#endif
    static string MyPrivateMethod()
    {
        return "false";
    }

它使代码膨胀，但在发布版本中它将是私有的。

I don't agree with the "you should only be interested in testing the external interface" philosophy. It's a bit like saying that a car repair shop should only have tests to see if the wheels turn. Yes, ultimately I'm interested in the external behavior but I like my own, private, internal tests to be a bit more specific and to the point. Yes, if I refactor, I may have to change some of the tests, but unless it's a massive refactor, I'll only have to change a few and the fact that the other (unchanged) internal tests still work is a great indicator that the refactoring has been successful.

You can try to cover all internal cases using only the public interface and theoretically it's possible to test every internal method (or at least every one that matters) entirely by using the public interface but you may have to end up standing on your head to achieve this and the connection between the test cases being run through the public interface and the internal portion of the solution they're designed to test may be difficult or impossible to discern. Having pointed, individual tests that guarantee that the internal machinery is working properly is well worth the minor test changes that come about with refactoring - at least that's been my experience. If you have to make huge changes to your tests for every refactoring, then maybe this doesn't make sense, but in that case, maybe you ought to rethink your design entirely. A good design should be flexible enough to allow for most changes without massive redesigns.

我很惊讶还没有人说过这一点，但我采用的一个解决方案是在类内部创建一个静态方法来测试自身。这使您可以访问用于测试的所有公共和私有内容。

此外，在脚本语言(具有OO功能，如Python、Ruby和PHP)中，您可以在运行时对文件本身进行测试。确保您的更改不会破坏任何东西的快速方法。这显然为测试所有类提供了可伸缩的解决方案:只需运行所有类即可。(你也可以用void main在其他语言中这样做，它也总是运行它的测试)。

有两种类型的私有方法。静态私有方法和非静态私有方法(实例方法)。下面两篇文章用示例解释了如何对私有方法进行单元测试。
