Is there a way to Run a Unit Test against Private method

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to maybe temporarily alter the [Private] tag dynamically or any other way to run a Unit test against class method, which has been labeled as [Private]?

I mean, I understand there is a workaround to create a non private class method inside this class, which will in turn call this private method  and run a Unit test on the non private method, but I am looking for a way to do this without altering the original class.

Thank you,

Alex
