Test Class for dynamic search controller

Hi Team,
             I created a  dynamic search controller for search dynamically in visualforce page . How to write test class for this type controller.

This is my controller code.Please help me how to write test class for this controller.
public with sharing class ContactSearchController {

  // the soql without the order and limit
  private String soql {get;set;}
  // the collection of contacts to display
  public List<Contact> contacts {get;set;}

  // the current sort direction. defaults to asc
  public String sortDir {
    get  { if (sortDir == null) {  sortDir = 'asc'; } return sortDir;  }
    set;
  }

  // the current field to sort by. defaults to last name
  public String sortField {
    get  { if (sortField == null) {sortField = 'lastName'; } return sortField;  }
    set;
  }

  // format the soql for display on the visualforce page
  public String debugSoql {
    get { return soql + ' order by ' + sortField + ' ' + sortDir + ' limit 20'; }
    set;
  }

  // init the controller and display some sample data when the page loads
  public ContactSearchController() {
  contacts= new List<Contact>();
    soql = 'select FirstName, LastName,account.name,LeadSource FROM Contact Where account.Name!=null';
    runQuery();
  }

  // toggles the sorting of query from asc<-->desc
  public void toggleSort() {
    // simply toggle the direction
    sortDir = sortDir.equals('asc') ? 'desc' : 'asc';
    // run the query again
    runQuery();
  }

  // runs the actual query
  public void runQuery() {

    try {
      contacts = Database.query(soql + ' order by ' + sortField + ' ' + sortDir + ' limit 20');
    } catch (Exception e) {
      ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'Ooops!'));
    }

  }

  // runs the search with parameters passed via Javascript
  public PageReference runSearch() {
      
    String FirstName = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('FirstName');
    String LastName = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('LastName');
   
    String LeadSource = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('LeadSource ');
    
    String accountName= Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('accountName');
   
  

    soql = 'select  FirstName,LastName,LeadSource,account.name FROM Contact Where account.Name!=null';
   
    if (FirstName!= null && !FirstName.equals(''))
      soql += ' and FirstName LIKE \''+String.escapeSingleQuotes(FirstName)+'%\'';
    if (LastName!= null && !LastName.equals(''))
      soql += ' and LastName LIKE \''+String.escapeSingleQuotes(LastName)+'%\'';
    if (accountName!= null && !accountName.equals(''))
      soql += ' and account.Name LIKE \''+String.escapeSingleQuotes(accountName)+'%\'';
    if (LeadSource !=null && !LeadSource.equals(''))
      soql += ' and LeadSource LIKE \''+String.escapeSingleQuotes(LeadSource)+'%\'';  
  
    // run the query again
    runQuery();

    return null;
  }
 public List<String> LeadSource{
    get {
      if (LeadSource== null) {
 
        LeadSource= new List<String>();
        Schema.DescribeFieldResult field = Contact.LeadSource.getDescribe();
 
        for (Schema.PicklistEntry b : field.getPicklistValues())
          LeadSource.add(b.getLabel());
 
      }
      return LeadSource;          
    }
    set;
  }
 
}

HI
pls see below code you will get code coverage.
@istest
public class ContactSearchTest{
public static testmethod void contactSearchMethod(){
 ContactSearchController cs=new ContactSearchController();
 String sd=cs.sortDir;
 String sf=cs.sortField;
 String ds=cs.debugSoql;
 list<String> ls=cs.LeadSource;

 cs.toggleSort();
 cs.runQuery();
 cs.runSearch();

}
}

Please try below Code:-
@isTest 
public class ContactSearchControllerTest 
{
 static testMethod void testMethod1() 
 {
 Account testAccount = new Account();
 testAccount.Name='TestAccount' ;
 insert testAccount;
	
 Contact cont = new Contact();
 cont.FirstName = 'FirstName';
 cont.LastName = 'LastName';
 cont.AccountId = testAccount.id;
 
 Test.StartTest(); 

  PageReference pageRef = Page.YOUR_PAGE_NAME; // Add your VF page Name here
  pageRef.getParameters().put('FirstName', 'FirstName');
  pageRef.getParameters().put('LastName', 'LastName');
  pageRef.getParameters().put('accountName', 'TestAccount');
  Test.setCurrentPage(pageRef);

  ContactSearchController testCont = new ContactSearchController();
  testCont.runSearch();
  //List<String> lstLeadS = testCont.LeadSource();	
  //testCont.LeadSource;	
  
 Test.StopTest();
 }
}

Please follow below salesforce Best Practice for Test Classes :-

1. Test class must start with @isTest annotation if class class version is more than 25
2. Test environment support @testVisible , @testSetUp as well
3. Unit test is to test particular piece of code working properly or not .
4. Unit test method takes no argument ,commit no data to database ,send no email ,flagged with testMethod keyword .
5. To deploy to production at-least 75% code coverage is required 
6. System.debug statement are not counted as a part of apex code limit.
7. Test method and test classes are not counted as a part of code limit
9. We should not focus on the  percentage of code coverage ,we should make sure that every use case should covered including positive, negative,bulk and single record .
Single Action -To verify that the the single record produces the correct an expected result .
Bulk action -Any apex record trigger ,class or extension must be invoked for 1-200 records .
Positive behavior : Test every expected behavior occurs through every expected permutation , i,e user filled out every correctly data and not go past the limit .
Negative Testcase :-Not to add future date , Not to specify negative amount.
Restricted User :-Test whether a user with restricted access used in your code .10. Test class should be annotated with @isTest .
11 . @isTest annotation with test method  is equivalent to testMethod keyword .
12. Test method should static and no void return type .
13. Test class and method default access is private ,no matter to add access specifier .
14. classes with @isTest annotation can't be a interface or enum .
15. Test method code can't be invoked by non test request .
16. Stating with salesforce API 28.0 test method can not reside inside non test classes .
17. @Testvisible annotation to make visible private methods inside test classes.
18. Test method can not be used to test web-service call out . Please use call out mock .
19. You can't  send email from test method.
20.User, profile, organization, AsyncApexjob, Corntrigger, RecordType, ApexClass, ApexComponent ,ApexPage we can access without (seeAllData=true) .
21. SeeAllData=true will not work for API 23 version eailer .
22. Accessing static resource test records in test class e,g List<Account> accList=Test.loadData(Account,SobjectType,'ResourceName').
23. Create TestFactory class with @isTest annotation to exclude from organization code size limit .
24. @testSetup to create test records once in a method  and use in every test method in the test class .
25. We can run unit test by using Salesforce Standard UI,Force.com IDE ,Console ,API.
26. Maximum number of test classes run per 24 hour of period is  not grater of 500 or 10 multiplication of test classes of your organization.
27. As apex runs in system mode so the permission and record sharing are not taken into account . So we need to use system.runAs to enforce record sharing .
28. System.runAs will not enforce user permission or field level permission .
29. Every test to runAs count against the total number of DML issued in the process .

@amit thanks for quick response.These lines are not not covering test coverage. I got 74% test coverage. Its show 
LeadSource Method does not exist or incorrect signature: [ContactSearchController].LeadSource() 
public List<String> LeadSource{
   get {
      if (LeadSource== null) {
   LeadSource= new List<String>();

        Schema.DescribeFieldResult field = Contact.LeadSource.getDescribe();
        for (Schema.PicklistEntry b : field.getPicklistValues())

          LeadSource.add(b.getLabel());

      }

      return LeadSource;         

    }

Thanks @Amit and @Eswar . I solved out this. I have one more question like i create a webservice class how to write test class for this. I am new in test class.
