You could configure karma-ng-html2js-preprocessor plugin. It will convert the HTML templates into a javascript string and put it into Angular's $templateCache service.

After set a moduleName in the configuration you can declare the module in your tests and then all your production templates will available without need to mock them with $httpBackend everywhere.

beforeEach(module('partials'));

You can find how to setup the plugin here: http://untangled.io/how-to-unit-test-a-directive-with-templateurl/
