Testing Process in MVC Pattern

But what is the testing process in MVC pattern for ASP.NET MVC? Model View Controller pattern is designed in a way to simplify the testing process by dividing the architecture of the application into independent components (Model, View and Controller). The philosophy behind MVC is to break the application in these components to limit the unit testing to Controller component.

In other words, MVC is designed in a way that you only need to unit test your controller classes and this is all the point.

Controller is a pure programming class and nothing more. On the other hand, it is completely independent from data model and views (data layer and user interface) and here you notice the point. This independence helps you to test your application just by testing the controller as a programming class.

I will show you how to unit test controllers in the next part.
