Mocha is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on node and the browser, making asynchronous testing simple and fun. Mocha tests run serially, allowing for flexible and accurate reporting, while mapping uncaught exceptions to the correct test cases.
When testing synchronous code, omit the callback and Mocha will automatically continue on to the next test. Testing asynchronous code with Mocha could not be simpler. Simply invoke the callback when your test is complete.
