Majestic GUI vs Mocha: What are the differences?
Majestic GUI: Zero config GUI for Jest. A GUI for Jest that allows you to run all the tests or a single file, toggle watch mode, update snapshots, and much more; Mocha: 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.
Majestic GUI and Mocha can be primarily classified as "Javascript Testing Framework" tools.
Some of the features offered by Majestic GUI are:
- Examine test failures as they happen
- Console.log() to the UI for debugging
- Search tests
On the other hand, Mocha provides the following key features:
- browser support
- simple async support, including promises
- test coverage reporting
Majestic GUI and Mocha are both open source tools. It seems that Mocha with 18.1K GitHub stars and 2.44K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Majestic GUI with 5.36K GitHub stars and 117 GitHub forks.
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.
