  TDD how to test a 404 handler?

  Aug 08, 2011 09:33 AM|LINK

  Hi, 

  I have recently been following an online example for adding 404 pages to an MVC 3 application, some of you may be familiar with it:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/619895/how-can-i-properly-handle-404-in-asp-net-mvc/2577095#2577095.

  I have managed to intergrate it into my application and the 404 screens are displayed if I add an invalid id into the web browser address etc.

  Anyway, I am just learning about TDD (test driven development) and wondered how you might test a 404 handler like this.

  I tried just testing the view returned by a 404 error but a System.NotImplementedException was thrown.

  Is there a way to fake a web browser running for testing this? Or any tips/advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Dave
