What are the ideal Unit Test Cases for different layers in repository pattern.

Question

can someone suggest the ideal Unit test cases that may fit in across each of the layers . (which otherwise can be called as a standard).

for instance, in an ASP.NET MVC applictaion using a Repository pattern -

Controller - can assert for View names and format of the data returned to the views , from the controller action methods( i couldnt think of more , if u can please suggest).

Services Layer - ?? what can be written. because they in turn depend on the layers underneath.. ( can some one suggest a Unit Case with example for sevices layer)?.

One trivial question to finish off. Irrespective of the layers , the method being tested makes calls to other instance methods/static methods say,

public List<string> MethodUnderTest()
{

      instance.SomeOtherMethod();
      StaticMethod();

}

in each case it is neccesary to mock the methods calls by moving that to interfaces .? any thoughts on that . ( coz unit Testing by nomenclature should not depend on anything)

I recommend reading the Art of Unit Testing. It covers this stuff in detail.
