# Comparison

There are many test frameworks out there. Here is how Kava compares to them.

### Mocha

* Mocha has no way to know exactly which tests are tied to which suites, it only guesses the relationship based on which tests and which suite was last created. So when creating your tests and suites asynchronously, it all falls down.
* Mocha requires custom reporters to be bundled within it, rather than as their own npm modules.
* Mocha tests must be run through the mocha runner, joe tests can be run directly.
* Mocha will probably crash when you create your tests asynchronously. [More info](https://gist.github.com/2306572).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kava.bevry.me/comparison.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
