C# ASP.NET MVC Controller unit test

Question

I'm kind of new to unit testing and I am wondering if I'm doing it correct or not.

//Controller
public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View("../Message/Index");
}

[TestMethod]
public void MessageViewCorrectTest()
{
    var controller = new MessageController();
    var result = controller.Index() as ViewResult;
    Assert.AreEqual("../Message/Index", result.ViewName);
}

[TestMethod]
public void MessageViewInCorrectTest()
{
    var controller = new MessageController();
    var result = controller.Index() as ViewResult;
    Assert.AreNotEqual("Something/Else", result.ViewName);
}

Am I doing it right, is there a better way or is this good?

Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Here is a way you can do it. You can also verify based on your model type

[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod2()
{
  MessageController controller = new MessageController();
  ActionResult result = controller.Index(1);
  Assert.IsInstanceOfType(result, typeof(ViewResult));
  //Since view has been asserted as ViewResult
  ViewResult viewResult = result as ViewResult;  
  if(viewResult != null)
  {      
     Assert.IsInstanceOfType(viewResult.Model, typeof(YourModelType));
    //Further Asserts for your model 
  } 
}
