Alex D Herbert commented on NUMBERS-130:
----------------------------------------

I don't understand why this matters since the test classes are not released 
artifacts.

At least leaving them public distinguishes them from anything that may be 
package private as a helper method for testing and allows for quick scan over 
the methods of a test class in an IDE which: 
 * Colours public methods differently to package private ones
 * Allows for hiding all non public methods
 * Adds any other public vs non-public functionality

> Test classes and methods can be package-private

> With JUnit 5, test classes and methods don't need to be {{public}}, unlike 
> with JUnit 4. It suffices if they are package-private.
