One of the main reasons to implement an MVC software project is that it helps achieve a principal called “separation of concerns” which promotes the idea that software should be separated based on the type of functionality it performs i.e. the Model will contain the business logic such as properties like ID, firstName, lastName. The view will be responsible for showing content to the user through a user interface using a view engine such as Razor, in addition, the controller helps to choose which view to show to the user depending on different links clicked as well as work with the model data. The separation of these 3 components helps to ensure that testing is easy to do.
