I think you got that wrong.

class tx_foo_Bar {
  /**
   * Roasts a duck.
   *
   * @return tx_foo_Duck a well-roasted duck
   */
  protected function roastADuck() {
    ...
  }
}

and then in tests/fixtures/:

class tx_foo_TestingBar extends tx_foo_Bar {
  /**
   * Roasts a duck.
   *
   * @return tx_foo_Duck a well-roasted duck
   */
  public function roastADuck() {
    return parent::roastADuck();
  }
}

Then you create a testcase class in tests/ like this:

class tx_foo_TestingBar_testcase extends tx_phpunit_testcase {
  /**
   * @var tx_foo_TestingBar
   */
  private $fixture;

  public function setUp() {
    $this->fixture = new tx_foo_TestingBar();
  }

  public function tearDown() {
    unset($this->fixture);
  }

  /**
   * @test
   */
  public function roastADuckRoastsADuck() {
    $this->assertEquals(
      roastedDuck,
      $this->fixture->roastADuck()
    );
  }
}
