Should you Unit Test simple properties?

Question

Should you Unit Test simple properties of a class, asserting that a value is set and retrieved? Or is that really just unit testing the language?

Example

Answer 1

According to the book The Art of Unit Testing With Examples in .NET, a unit test covers not any type of code, it focuses on logical code. So, what is logical code?

Logical code is any piece of code that has some sort of logic in it, small as it may be. It’s logical code if it has one or more of the following: an IF statement, a loop, switch or case statements, calculations, or any other type of decision-making code.

Does a simple getter/setter wrap an any logic? The answer is:

Properties (getters/setters in Java) are good examples of code that usually doesn’t contain any logic, and so doesn’t require testing. But watch out: once you add any check inside the property, you’ll want to make sure that logic is being tested.
