Hey Nick. I was asking myself the same question the other night.
While it doesn't hurt to pass in your dependencies from within the
controller, it can quickly become tedious. I ended up going with a lazy-load
approach so keep my models unit-testable:
public function getCache()
{
if (null === $this->_cache) {
$this->_cache =
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getParam('bootstrap')->
getResource('Cache');
}
return $this->_cache;
}
This would allow you to easily create a setter method that your unit tests
can use to stub in a black hole cache.
