ASP.NET MVC 4 Reference

The topics in this section describe the public namespaces, classes, and interfaces that support ASP.NET MVC 3. These namespaces and classes are in the System.Web.Mvc assembly.

ASP.NET MVC implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, which helps Web developers build Web sites that are easy to maintain, because MVC decreases the dependency between application layers. ASP.NET MVC also improves the testability of ASP.NET Web applications by supporting test-driven development (TDD).
