If you feel like your `npm test` really needs more time to complete, you might want to look into [setting `timeout` for the command](https://circleci.com/docs/1.0/configuration/#modifiers).

The default value for running tests is to be in watch mode, regardless of the value in karma.config.

If you’d like to run ng test in a single-run manner please execute this command:

ng test --watch false
