Mocha

is the main testing framework in this test suite. It provides functions to execute tests and handle logging test results to the terminal.

Chai

is an assertion library commonly used with Mocha.
We use assertions to verify that the component that is being tested returns the value it’s expected to return for a particular test case.

functions like it and describe are a part of Mocha. Assertions we make inside these functions, like expect(isSuccess).to.be.true, come from the Chai library.
