+* **setIncrement** - Sets the 'step' between each tick of the progress bar. A smaller increment means the progress bar will take more iterations to reach 100%

 * **getDomElement** - Gets the DOM element  which visizualizes the progress bar. It is wrapped as a jqlite element - https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.element
