in thread "Accessors break encapsulation"?

I will most definitely agree on that point.

I am still relatively new to testing, so I don't think I have gotten to the point that I am bothered by the tediousness of updating the test suite each time I make an internal refactor change to the code.

/me now ponders whether the extra test cases on private methods are beneficial enough that they will be worth the extra effort in the long run, hmmm...
