I disagree. If you can't make it happen either via a mock or passing in data, then why have it in your code. Getters and setters don't need their own tests put would be tested via other unit tests of the system for verifying the expected functionality.

Sure, setters / getters are tested indirectly with other tests but when someone says "test everything" I assume they mean create tests specfically for those kinds of things. I always tell people "test the important things." Things like setters and getters don't fit into that definition for me.
