[TYPO3-mvc] HowTo write UnitTest for Controller?

[Patrick Schriner]

Hello Heinz,

Testing list action I would test

- if list action calls the repositories findAll method
- if list action assigns the result as "clients"

As you don't would not want to test the repository you would build mock  
for the ClientRepository.
