ASP.NET MVC: How to start Unit Testing

Why Unit Testing?

Why should you write Unit Tests? Here are some points which are mostly mentioned if somebody argues against Unit Tests

  • It is time-consuming
  • It interrupts your work
  • They are unnecessarily
  • They are complicated
  • Some code cannot be tested

So, why should you write Unit Tests? The guys from Agitar Technologies gives you a starting point to think about - http://www.agitar.com/solutions/why_unit_testing.html

Ok, I want to write Unit Tests, but what should I test? Arnt Berge wrote down his thought about what should be tested in ASP.NET MVC - http://blogg.bouvet.no/2011/04/05/thoughts-on-unit-testing-in-asp-net-mvc/

How to start Unit Testing?

The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.

The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.
