Re:Kent Beck: “I get paid for code that works, not for tests... by marcosdumay on Thursday December 08, 2016 @11:00AM (#13131139)
Trivial code does not grow, it gets replaced. If the replacement is non-trivial, test it. If it's trivial, don't. Anyway, you've saved some useless tests that would need to be rewrite on the first change.

Trivial tests may be trivial, but they are numerous: their need grows exponentially with code size. And they generate almost all the false positives you will get.
