Moq vs TestCafe: What are the differences?

Developers describe Moq as "The most popular and friendly mocking framework for .NET". It is a mocking library for .NET developed from scratch to take full advantage of .NET Linq expression trees and lambda expressions, which makes it the most productive, type-safe and refactoring-friendly mocking library available. And it supports mocking interfaces as well as classes. On the other hand, TestCafe is detailed as "A Node.js tool to automate end-to-end web testing". It is a pure node.js end-to-end solution for testing web apps. It takes care of all the stages: starting browsers, running tests, gathering test results and generating reports.
