Answer 1

It depends.

Validation, redirection, temporary messages, etc. may occur in controllers. You can argue that these operations should be tested in the same way as your models.

Answer 5

One of the problems that I found in test controllers is that in some cases you need to emulate the execution chain that ASP.NET MVC follows to really test your controller.

For example, if you have code in the OnExecuting method, you need to find a way to run this method when performing the actual action in your controller during the unit test.
