Unit testing ASP.NET MVC redirection

Question

How do I Unit Test a MVC redirection?

public ActionResult Create(Product product)
{
    _productTask.Save(product);
    return RedirectToAction(\"Success\");

This works for ASP.NET MVC 5 using NUnit:

    [Test]
    public void ShouldRedirectToSuccessAction()
    {
        var controller = new RedirectController();
        var result = controller.Index() as RedirectToRouteResult;

        Assert.That(result.RouteValues["action"], Is.EqualTo("success"));
    }

If you want to test that you are redirecting to a different controller (say NewController), the assertion would be:

Assert.That(result.RouteValues["controller"], Is.EqualTo("New"));
