• An interesting problem in classical statistical inference is that of testing a point (or precise) null hypothesis. From a Bayesian point of view, a major handicap arises when testing a precise hypothesis, as its final probability is zero for continuous posterior distributions. Two Bayesian methods to deal with this problem not implying modifications of the prior distribution are suggested.
