Razor/CSHTML – Any Benefit over what we have? [closed]

One of the benefits is that Razor views can be rendered inside unit tests, this is something that was not easily possible with the previous ASP.Net renderer.

From ScottGu’s announcement this is listed as one of the design goals:

Unit Testable: The new view engine implementation will support the ability to unit test views (without requiring a controller or web-server, and can be hosted in any unit test project – no special app-domain required).
