Error. Method not Visible
Hi Guys,
As a part of learning salesforce i got some errors in testClass. Need help on those errors. why they got ?
Error: Compile Error: Method is not visible: VerifyDate.DateWithin30Days(Date, Date) at line 31 column 21, and
Error: Compile Error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: VerifyDate.SetEndOfonMonthDate(Date) at line 40 column 21
Apex Class:
and below is my testClass:
any modifications to the testClass ? Help me regarding this.

any modifications to the testClass ? Help me regarding this.
Problem in your test class is that you are try to access the private method in your test class. Which is wrong.
As per your code you need to call only VerifyDate.CheckDates(System.today(),System.today()+1); method which will call your private method in class.
So simply copy paste below test class and try
@isTest public class TestVerifyDate {
static testMethod void testMethod1()
{
Date d = VerifyDate.CheckDates(System.today(),System.today()+1); Date d1 = VerifyDate.CheckDates(System.today(),System.today()+60);
}
}

You can't call the Private methods outside the class.
Need to change Test Class to cover the Public Methods, so that private methods will automatically covers.
Please use the below Test Class:
Please check below post for test classes.

Please follow below salesforce Best Practice for Test Classes :-
1. Test class must start with @isTest annotation if class class version is more than 25
2. Test environment support @testVisible , @testSetUp as well
3. Unit test is to test particular piece of code working properly or not .
4. Unit test method takes no argument ,commit no data to database ,send no email ,flagged with testMethod keyword .
5. To deploy to production at-least 75% code coverage is required
6. System.debug statement are not counted as a part of apex code limit.
7. Test method and test classes are not counted as a part of code limit
9. We should not focus on the percentage of code coverage ,we should make sure that every use case should covered including positive, negative,bulk and single record .
Single Action -To verify that the the single record produces the correct an expected result .
Bulk action -Any apex record trigger ,class or extension must be invoked for 1-200 records .
Positive behavior : Test every expected behavior occurs through every expected permutation , i,e user filled out every correctly data and not go past the limit .
Negative Testcase :-Not to add future date , Not to specify negative amount.
Restricted User :-Test whether a user with restricted access used in your code .
10. Test class should be annotated with @isTest .
11 . @isTest annotation with test method is equivalent to testMethod keyword .
12. Test method should static and no void return type .
13. Test class and method default access is private ,no matter to add access specifier .
14. classes with @isTest annotation can't be a interface or enum .
15. Test method code can't be invoked by non test request .
16. Stating with salesforce API 28.0 test method can not reside inside non test classes .
17. @Testvisible annotation to make visible private methods inside test classes.
18. Test method can not be used to test web-service call out . Please use call out mock .
19. You can't send email from test method.
20.User, profile, organization, AsyncApexjob, Corntrigger, RecordType, ApexClass, ApexComponent ,ApexPage we can access without (seeAllData=true) .
21. SeeAllData=true will not work for API 23 version eailer .
22. Accessing static resource test records in test class e,g List<Account> accList=Test.loadData(Account,SobjectType,'ResourceName').
23. Create TestFactory class with @isTest annotation to exclude from organization code size limit .
24. @testSetup to create test records once in a method and use in every test method in the test class .
25. We can run unit test by using Salesforce Standard UI,Force.com IDE ,Console ,API.
26. Maximum number of test classes run per 24 hour of period is not grater of 500 or 10 multiplication of test classes of your organization.
27. As apex runs in system mode so the permission and record sharing are not taken into account . So we need to use system.runAs to enforce record sharing .
28. System.runAs will not enforce user permission or field level permission .
29. Every test to runAs count against the total number of DML issued in the process.
Please do let me know if it helps you.

For 1st error:
Change the access type of the two methods from Private to Public to get out of the 1st error.
Please find below link understand what Access Modifiers is
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_classes_access_modifiers.htm (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_classes_access_modifiers.htm" target="_blank)
For 2nd error:
The method name is "SetEndOfMonthDate" which is defined in the class but whereas in test class you have defined the method name as "SetEndOfonMonthDate". Please find the underlined text what is error in the word.
Let me know if you have face any errors,

Just simply replace you test class with below class, Same code is working fine in my developer org.
Class :- VerifyDate
Test class:-TestVerifyDate --------------- Simply copy paste same class in you org and try
Let us know if this will help you

Problem in your test class is that you are try to access the private method in your test class. Which is wrong.
As per your code you need to call only VerifyDate.CheckDates(System.today(),System.today()+1); method which will call your private method in class.
So simply copy paste below test class and try
@isTest public class TestVerifyDate {
static testMethod void testMethod1()
{
Date d = VerifyDate.CheckDates(System.today(),System.today()+1); Date d1 = VerifyDate.CheckDates(System.today(),System.today()+60);
}
}
methods which are public only have testClasses or private too?
Please check below post for same i hope that will help you

Use the TestVisible annotation to allow test methods to access private or protected members of another class outside the test class. These members include methods, member variables, and inner classes. This annotation enables a more permissive access level for running tests only. This annotation doesn’t change the visibility of members if accessed by non-test classes.
With this annotation, you don’t have to change the access modifiers of your methods and member variables to public if you want to access them in a test method. For example, if a private member variable isn’t supposed to be exposed to external classes but it should be accessible by a test method, you can add the TestVisible annotation to the variable definition Let us know if this will help you

the DateWithin30Days and SetEndOfMonthDate methods are private methods so they cannot be called in another scoop. it should also be noted that the CheckDates method calls on these two other methods and in addition it is public. so we can cover 100% of the code just by calling CheckDates in the test class.
@isTest
public class TestVerifyDate
{
@isTest public static void verifyDateTest ()
{
Date date1 = date.newInstance(2022, 10, 20) ;
Date date2 = date.newInstance(2022, 10, 21) ;
Date date3 = date.newInstance(2022, 10, 01) ;
Date date4 = date.newInstance(2022, 10, 31) ;
Date date5 = date.newInstance(2022, 11, 31) ;
Date DT2 = VerifyDate.CheckDates(date1,date2);
Date DT3 = VerifyDate.CheckDates(date1,date3);
Date DT4 = VerifyDate.CheckDates(date1,date5);
system.assertEquals(date2, DT2);
system.assertEquals(date4, DT3);
system.assertEquals(date4, DT4);
}
}
