Testable ASP.NET architectures

I am looking for guidance on designing asp.net applications using n-tier architecture. Can anyone suggest architectures (not MVC) that use web-forms, and support modules and allow repeatable tests.

I understand the vagueness of the question, but am unsure of how else to put it.

A little more specifics : - Must use ASP.NET web forms. - .NET 4.0 (not that the version really matters). - I should be able to expose part of the business logic as services (if need be).

Regardless of the "framework" or patterns used, there's one thing that will ensure your application is testable: use test-driven development, so that your application will not exist except as a way to make unit tests pass.

Simple:

Only have presentation logic in the WebForms project and move all business logic into a class library. And test that class library.

I have done Model-View-Presenter development with ASP.NET WebForms. This allows your logic to live in testable presenter classes. If you are stuck with WebForms, then this is an option.

When I did this, I rolled my own framework. But it looks like someone might have done the hard work for you.
