Hello!
Just wondering, what do you usually include in your test suite?
Some websites recommend testing all public methods. This makes sense with
exception of simple getters/setters methods.
But what about the private/protected methods? Whould I also write test cases
for those?
By the way, is it OK to not write tests for simple getters/setters that only
return or set an instance variable?
