Alloy jasmine tests (TiShadow)?

I'm trying to get started with Jasmine inside TiShadow. In my app I have a listview and when I click a listview a new controller is created and a new window is shown. Now I want to check if this click is working.

My spec looks like this:

// Create a test suite
describe("test1", function() {
    var Alloy = require("alloy");
    var $;
    beforeEach(function() {
        $ = Alloy.createController("index");
    });
 
    describe("can create and destroy", function() {
        it("show request window", function() {
            $.__views.btn_requests.fireEvent("click");
            waits(500);
            runs(function () {
                //$ = Alloy.createController("requests"); // will create a 2nd window
                //expect(??).toBe(true);    // what do I need to check
            });
        });
    });
});

The click is working and its opening the request window. But what can I check now to see if the new window is visible AND how can I access the elements from this window.

Alloy.createController("request");

will open a second window so I don't want to call it inside my spec because its called by the btn_button inside my app.

App consists of:

• index.js/xml/tss (listview with itemclick that calls createController("request")
• request.js/xml/tss (just a window)

Alloy project, TiShadow to deploy and test it, Android, Ti SDK 3.4.1
