Is it good practice to unit test properties?

Question

I'm still getting to grips with the whole TDD concept. Should I be writing tests for properties? Should one only write tests on properties containing sufficient logic? Any thoughts or examples on this would be great.

Answer 1

Writing a test for public getter of a private field will not give you much if this getter does nothing except returning your private field. But if it does contain some logic (or just something that can fail, like converting your private Int32 field to Byte), testing such property starts to make sense.

Answer 2

Test things that have a reasonable chance of failure - you gain no extra confidence by testing properties with no logic beyond get/set.
