Any idea on how to unit test the views in ASP.NET MVC?
I am sick of encountering the yellow screen of death when I launch my MVC project just because I forget to update the views when one of the Action methods of my controller changes name.

In computer programming, unit testing is a software testing method by which individual units of source code—sets of one or more computer program modules together with associated control data, usage procedures, and operating procedures—are tested to determine whether they are fit for use.
The assert section ensures that the code behaves as expected. Assertions replace us humans in checking that the software does what it should. They express requirements that the unit under test is expected to meet. Now, often one can write slightly different assertions to capture a given requirement.
You could write integration tests using Watin, but if you just need a quick check to see if you've any errors in your views, you could also try the solution mentioned in this post: How can I compile ASP.NET pages before loading them with a webserver. Prebuild your aspx pages and you're good to go!
