I think there is, or was, a big debate about this in the testing community. Personally, I believe in testing public interfaces and use cases. If the private function is so involved it needs its own test, it may be a sign that it belongs in another class (possibly not published, eg its header file is not be exported).

Is there a way to test the private functions of a class without moving them into public scope during test?
What are some strategies for this?
I was hoping to add "friend class boost::unit_test::test_suite;" to my class but that didn't work.
