When calling get/post/etc, the second optional parameter is a hash
representing the "params" hash.
So, in order to test the conditional(s) in your controller, you should
write:
get :index, :alpha => true #test the first conditional
In another example, pass in :beta => true like this:
get :index, :beta => true
