Hi Atul,

In MVC there is a concept called scaffolding, which helps to automatically create a view and controller using action model class with CRUD operations.
You can try creating a view for your model class and try testing the database.
I hope this link[^] would help you a bit.

You should be using any of the Unit test frameworks or just add a Test project to Unit test yur model only . Refer this link which shows how to create test classes for your models( There are lots of Unittesting references available though ).

If it works then there should not be a problem when you start to have a DB generated( CodeFirst approach) from this later when the actual project begins.

Hope this helps
