ASP.NET MVC Framework is almost here.

Tutorials and previous are already posted on the web, As always Scott Guthrie is the first person to provide with an complete overlook of the new framework.

What's the MVC Framework?

The simplest answer is; It's a testing framework for your web application. Microsoft is putting a great effort in releasing a testing framework like this that supports all the known testing frameworks, like the famous NUnit or my favorite MSTest that is a plug in with VS 2005 Team. However looks like VS2008 is build in with that Test result functionality.

Much more information about this framework will be found at Scott Guthrie's blog in the future. I would like to post a preview here, but there is no download anywhere that I can see or any date when this framework will be alpha released.

Cheers

Al

I really don't view it as a testing framework. I view it as Microsoft's attempt to support the Model View Controller pattern which, when followed strictly, makes it easier to utilize existing testing frameworks. It is in Microsoft's best interest to support the various third party frameworks for potentially increased adoption. ASP.NET, in the traditional sense allows MVC to occur, but it is rather hackish. Many enterprise developers agree that separation of concerns is important for both maintainability and scalability of development - the development of this framework is evidence of that.

Perhaps you should read ScottGu's explaination of what the ASP.Net MVC framework is (http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/10/14/asp-net-mvc-framework.aspx) There is not mention of it being a test framework. It is a full blown Model View Contoller framework to give ASP.Net developers a choice on what methodology to use and give Ruby on Rails a little competition (IMO ASP.Net MVC should be 100 times better out of the box since RoR is so slow and a resource hog).
