Things've changed in newer versions of Angular Material since @javahaxxor's answer. I've resolved this problem with importing same modules as I do in AppModule (I also need Forms here):

import {
  MatButtonModule,
  MatCardModule,
  MatIconModule,
  MatInputModule,
  MatProgressSpinnerModule,
  MatDialogModule,
  MatCheckboxModule
} from '@angular/material';

// ... not important

beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [ WelcomeComponent ],
      imports: [
        NoopAnimationsModule,
        FormsModule,
        ReactiveFormsModule,
        MatButtonModule,
        MatCardModule,
        MatIconModule,
        MatInputModule,
        MatProgressSpinnerModule,
        MatDialogModule,
        MatCheckboxModule
      ],
      providers: [
        // ...
      ]
    })
    .compileComponents();
  }));
