Usually, unit testing is performed for models, helper, components, etc. So in other words, for something that implements
application business logic.For test application controllers, a commonly used process is
Functional Testing.More information on performing such tests can be found in the Yii documentation.
In a nutshell, use some thing like Selenium, which opens some url in a web-browser and collects information after the test.
Another technique to test controllers described over here.
By the way, if it is difficult to have the logic implemented into your controller, look for the
Fat Modelapproach in MVC pattern. More information here.
