If you need a controller you need a controller spec, its not practical to instantiate a controller on your own, one of the many reasons why they are recommended against by the Rails team now.
Otherwise you need to test the behaviour of the end result, e.g. create a set of shared examples for your concern and use them in every request/system/integration test for the routes concerned.
