Description:

Everyone knows that one of the major benefits of ASP.NET MVC over WebForms is improved testability, namely easier unit testing. But did you know that the MVC framework also makes it far easier to create strongly-typed, refactor-friendly integration tests for your application? It’s true! And the SpecsFor.Mvc framework makes things even easier by handling all of the boiler-plate setup for you. Join me for a 60-minute crash course on integration testing your ASP.NET MVC application using SpecsFor.Mvc!

First I'd heard of SpecsFor and SpecsFor.MVC but both seem very well thought out and very directly applicable to our current development pushes. Great overview of the tools and whets the appetite for getting going with them.

Very smoothly presented, excellent job. I've spent a lot of time with SpecFlow and Watin, so I was eager to see if there was something really new here. Seems like a pretty good server-side abstraction layer to get you away from some client-side brittleness if you follow the conventions. Also, nice config functions for addressing overhead things you know you will have to deal with. It was enough to inspire me to give SpecsFor.Mvc a spin.
