I've done testing for *several *years and I've rarely come across a scenario where I've needed to test getters/setters (when I've done that i've largely probably done something wrong).
Here is the advice I'd give, only test interaction on void method calls, otherwise test state. This isn't really AAA advice but advice in general.
