MVC Controller test using MOq

Question

I want to test the given method using Moq. How do I make my controller use moq objects? New objects are being created inside the controller method. One of the class is datacontext and other one is also a concrete class. Facing trouble in creating a mock for these classes alslo.

//My Controller class action method public ActionResult GetRelatedCourses(int stuId) { if (Request.Cookies["RememberUsername"] != null) { if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Get(userName) == null) { CacheUtil.UpdateCache(userName); } Dictionary<string, int> sectionsCourses = (Dictionary<string, int>)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Get(userName); if (sectionsForums.ContainsValue(stuId)) { var contextWrapper = new DataContextWrapper(dataContext); var courseRepository = new CourseRepository(contextWrapper); bool Student_Exists = StudentExists(stuId); if (Student_Exists) { IEnumerable<Course> course = courseRepository.GetRelatedCourses(stuId); var UserProfiles = contextWrapper.dataContext.usp_GetUserProfilesByStudentID(stuId).ToList(); ViewBag.UserProfiles = UserProfiles; if (course.Count() == 0) { ViewBag.ErrorMessage = "No courses available."; } return View(courses); } return View("NoStudentExists"); } } return View("NoAccess"); }

@Patrick Quirk : Any suggestions?

You need to use Dependency Injection and a good IoC like Ninject. Instantiating data objects inside your methods is a no go if you want unit tests.

The thing is that the code is already out there. And I have to write the tests. Is there no way other than going and changing the code?
