Unit Testing in Controllers Part 1: QueryString
The ASPNET Core approach to processing HTTP requests is to abstract as much as possible. As a result, it is rare that you have to use anything but POCO classes when processing a request with a controller action. All the HTTP-ness is nicely hidden behind model binders and value providers that parses the incoming request (query string, form, body, url, etc.). This makes it possible to unit test your controllers without having to create mock implementations of the HTTP request itself (ie. the HttpContext).
But this doesn’t work in all cases.
