Mocha vs Vorlon.JS: What are the differences?
Developers describe Mocha as "Simple, flexible, fun javascript test framework for node.js & the browser". Mocha is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on node.js 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. On the other hand, Vorlon.JS is detailed as "An open source, extensible, platform-agnostic tool for remotely debugging and testing your JavaScript". It is a remote debugging and testing tool for JavaScript. It helps you remotely load inspect, test and debug JavaScript code running on any device with a web browser: whether it's a games console, mobile device or fridge.
Mocha and Vorlon.JS belong to "Javascript Testing Framework" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Mocha are:
- browser support
- simple async support, including promises
- test coverage reporting
On the other hand, Vorlon.JS provides the following key features:
- Easy setup
- Remotely connect up to 50 devices simultaneously. Run your code on each or all of them with a single click
- Debug JavaScript on nearly any platform with a web environment. Plugins allow you to add new features and resources

We use Mocha for our FDA verification testing. It's integrated into Meteor, our upstream web application framework. We like how battle tested it is, its' syntax, its' options of reporters, and countless other features. Most everybody can agree on mocha, and that gets us half-way through our FDA verification and validation (V&V) testing strategy.
