+  When writting tests, there is no need to call `$timeout.flush()` to resolve a call to `$q.when` with a value.
+
+The previous behavior involve creating an extra promise that needed to be resolved. This is no longer needed when
+`$q.when` is called with a value. In the case that the test is not aware if `$q.when` is called with a value or
+another promise, it is possible to replace `$timeout.flush();` with `$timeout.flush(0);`.
+
+```js
+  describe('$q.when', function() {
+    it('should not need a call to $timeout.flush() to resolve already resolved promises',
+        inject(function($q, $timeout) {
+      $q.when('foo');
+      // In Angular 1.4.3 a call to `$timeout.flush();` was needed
+      $timeout.verifyNoPendingTasks();
+    }));
+
+    it('should accept $timeout.flush(0) when not sure if $q.when was called with a value or a promise’,
+        inject(function($q, $timeout) {
+      $q.when('foo');
+      $timeout.flush(0);
+      $timeout.verifyNoPendingTasks();
+    }));
+
+    it('should need a call to $timeout.flush() to resolve $q.when when called with a promise',
