How could i test my controller function in codeigniter?

Um, navigate to it in your browser, maybe?

No, i mean unit testing our controller. i'm able to test my model but i don't know how to test my controller. I must test them as my validations are all in the controllers and this is a very sensitive application so i need to be a hundred percent sure that there is no error in my app.

Yes, they all explain how to test a model but not a controller, nor a view. That's why i'm asking it there

yes, they all say that we can test controllers but they don't tell HOW to do it. I'm starting to think that nobody actually test his controllers or that it's impossible to test. My models are tested great but my controllers contains all the business logic and the validations so i really need to test it to be sure there is no problem and that nobody can put data that I don't want to be in my application.
