If you really want to disable it, you can by simply overwriting or as angular calls it decorating the original mdAria service that's located inside the angular-material library.

angular.module('appname').decorator('$mdAria', function mdAriaDecorator($delegate) {
    $delegate.expect = angular.noop;
    $delegate.expectAsync = angular.noop;
    $delegate.expectWithText = angular.noop;
    return $delegate;
});

This is working in angular-material v1.0.6 but you may have to check that all methods have been cleared.

Basically all the above does is replace the public methods exposed to the $mdAria service and it will replace those methods with a noop (no operation).
