Here are the steps you should follow to $broadcast event in angular JS

While inijecting initialize the rootScope and scope stub as given below:

var rootScope;
var scopeStub = beforeEach(function() {
    inject(function($rootScope, _$controller_) {
        rootScope = $rootScope;
        scopeStub = $rootScope.$new();
        $controller = _$controller_;
    });
});

After controller is created raise event using rootScope like below:

rootScope.$broadcast('eventName', parameter1);
