Also, you can do the same for other kinds of angular,s building blocks, such as guards, directives, pipes, etc :

"@schematics/angular:class": {

          "skipTests": true

        },

        "@schematics/angular:component": {

          "skipTests": true

        },

        "@schematics/angular:directive": {

          "skipTests": true

        },

That's All!!! 

Enjoy Angular.....
