class ControllerUnitTestCase
extends MvcUnitTestCase

Support class for writing unit tests for controllers. Its main job is to mock the various properties and methods that Grails injects into controllers. By default it determines what controller to mock based on the name of the test, but this can be overridden by one of the constructors.
