Try this:

import { TestBed, ComponentFixture, async, inject } from '@angular/core/testing';
import {HttpClientTestingModule, HttpTestingController} from '@angular/common/http/testing';
import {Posts} from './post.interface';
import {HttpModule} from '@angular/http';

import { AppService } from './app.service';

describe('AppService', () => {
  let service:AppService,
  httpMock:HttpTestingController;
  let fixture;


    beforeEach(async(() => {
      TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [HttpClientTestingModule,
      HttpModule],
        providers: [
          AppService
        ]

      }).compileComponents().then( () => {
        service = TestBed.get(AppService);
        httpMock =TestBed.get(HttpTestingController);
      })

    }));

    afterEach(()=>{
      httpMock.verify();
    })

  describe('Service is truty', () => {
      it('should return an Observable<User[]>', () => {
      const dummyUsers :Posts[]= [{
        userId: 10,
        id: 10,
        title: 'post',
        body: 'post'
      }];

      service.getData().subscribe(users => {
      console.log(users)
        expect(users.length).toBe(1);
        expect(users).toEqual(dummyUsers);
      });

      const req= httpMock.expectOne('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
          //expect(req.method).toBe('GET');
  req.flush(dummyUsers);
    });

  })
})
