Hi I am finding that a common breakage point in our mvc setup is when the controller returns return View(); or whatever, and the viewengine cannot find the view.

Currently we load massive amounts of test data through the web front end, as this is how it would be done in the real world. This gives the data an amount of legitimacy and prevents errors in the format of the data. However it is very time consum...
