You need to include angular-mocks.js after Jasmine otherwise functions like module or inject will not be defined.

Moreover you redefine module:

var module = angular.module('AngularSampleApp', []);

So either you rename the variable or put the code inside an IIFE.

In my sample app have I test runner like this

  <!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <!--angular-->
    <script src="../../../Scripts/angular.min.js"></script>
    <!--jasmine-->
    <img src="../../../Content/jasmine/jasmine_favicon.png" />
    <link href="../../../Content/jasmine/jasmine.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="../../../Scripts/jasmine/jasmine.js"></script>
    <script src="../../../Scripts/jasmine/jasmine-html.js"></script>
    <script src="../../../Scripts/jasmine/boot.js"></script>
    <!--angular mocks-->
    <script src="../../../Scripts/angular-mocks.js"></script>
    <!--app tests-->
    <script src="../../FavoritesController.js"></script>
    <script src="FavoritesController.Tests.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

FavoritesController:

  var module = angular.module('AngularSampleApp', []);
var FavoritesController = module.controller('FavoritesController', function favoritesController($scope) {
    $scope.phones = [
        {
            'name': 'Nexus S',
            'snippet': 'Fast just got faster with Nexus S.'
        },
        {
            'name': 'Motorola XOOM™ with Wi-Fi',
            'snippet': 'The Next, Next Generation tablet.'
        },
        {
            'name': 'MOTOROLA XOOM™',
            'snippet': 'The Next, Next Generation tablet.'
        }
    ];

});

FavoritesController.Tests.js

describe('FavoritesController', function () {
    beforeEach(module('AngularSampleApp'));
    it('should create "phones" model with 3 phones', inject(function ($controller) {
        var scope = {},
            ctrl = $controller('FavoritesController', { $scope: scope });

        expect(scope.phones.length).toBe(3);
    }));
});

But I am getting:
