In this recipe, we'll make use of the mocha-test (0.11.0)
plugin to run our automated Mocha tests.
In this example, we'll work with the basic project structure we created in the Installing Grunt on a project recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Grunt. Be sure to refer to it if you are not yet familiar with its contents.
The following steps take us through creating a sample code base, creating a few tests to run against the code base, and configuring Grunt to run them for us.
We'll start by installing the package that contains the

plugin by following the instructions provided in the Installing a plugin recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Grunt.Then, we can create a JavaScript source file in our project directory that contains and exports a function that we'd like to have tested. Let's call it
