At this point in my development I want to begin integrating unit testing and I've discovered unit testing a view to be tricky because of the way that django implements views with functions. For example, each function is a view/page in django if t...

I'm working my way through some ASP.NET MVC reading and I have a web app at work that I'll be migrating from WebForms to MVC.

I have code similar to: number_to_currency(line_item.price, :unit => "£") littering my views in various models.
