Timeout requirement when testing Meteor with speed and jasmine

Question

Quite new to meteor, speed and jasmine, so I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong, using Jasmine for something that it is not intended for, or this is exactly how it works.

I find that I need to set timeouts for almost all of my tests in order to get them to pass. If so, or am I doing something wrong?

For example, some tests that I run check validation messages:

    describe("add quote validation", function() {
      beforeEach(function (done) {
        Router.go('addQuote');
        Tracker.afterFlush(function(){
          done();
        });
      });

      beforeEach(waitForRouter);

      it("should show validation when Quote is missing", function(done) {
        $('#quote').val('');
        $('#author').val('Some author');
        Meteor.setTimeout(function(){
          $('#addQuoteBtn').click();
        }, 500);
        Meteor.setTimeout(function(){
          expect($('.parsley-custom-error-message').text()).toEqual("Quote can't be empty.");
          done();
          }, 500);
      });
    }
