What is the proper way of testing controllers in CakePHP 2.0

Hi,

I've tried searching the new docs about testing with the new PHPUnit
for CakePHP 2.0 Beta, without any success
Below is my code for testing the admin action of controller posts with
method add.

My issue is that I expected from the docs I received that headers were
set when using testAction, it is always blank

public function testAdminAdd() {
$Posts = $this->generate('Posts', array(
'components' => array(
'Session'
)
)
);

$Posts->Session->expects($this->once())-
>method('setFlash');

$this->testAction('/admin/posts/add', array(
'data' => array(
'Post' => array('name' => 'New Post')
)
)
);
// debug($this);
$this->assertEquals($this->headers['Location'], '/admin/
posts/index');
$this->assertEquals($this->vars['post']['Post']['name'],
'New Post');

$this->assertPattern('/<html/', $this->contents);
$this->assertPattern('/<form/', $this->view);
