Question

How can you test that an action method you have like so will return the correct view because Viewname is an empty string? Should I even bother testing this? I’m not sure how many unit tests to do, I’m thinking you could create a lot of unit tests!

public ActionResult Index()
{
   return View();
}


[TestMethod]
public void DetermineIndexReturnsCorrectView()
{
     HomeController controller = new HomeController();

     ViewResult result = controller.Index() as ViewResult;

     //****result.ViewName is empty!!!!***//
     Assert.AreEqual("Index", result.ViewName);
}

Take a look at MvcContrib Testhelpers. Nice examples there as well
