•••
Supports different assertion libraries
Mocha runs independently from the assertion library, so you can choose which assertion format works best for you. Mocha most often is run in combination with assertion library Chai.

•••
Can be intimidating for beginners
While some testing frameworks are complete out of the box, Mocha requires developers to select and set up assertion libraries and mocking utilities. For someone who is just starting to learn how to build tests this can be scary as they will also have to choose which libraries to use and learn them too.

Makes Asynchronous testing extremely easy
No need to write tricky statements for Async testing. Mocha gives you a done callback. Place this done parameter in your callback function, that'll let Mocha know that you've written an asynchronous function.

Integrates really well with NodeJS

•••
Allows both DOM-less as well as Asynchronous testing
If you have some test cases that do not involve testing of DOM elements or events, those are exactly the ones where you want to use Jasmine. It'll provide smooth, simple and easy DOM-less testing of those test cases.

Con
•••
Not much room for flexibility
Jasmine comes with everything already baked in (including assertion libraries and mocking utilities). While this is great for beginners and people who don't want to spend much time looking into different libraries and tools it can be a turnoff for anyone who wants to use a different assertion and/or mocking library.

•••
Has a very readable and user-friendly syntax
Code readability is an important factor, if the application development involves multiple teams; if the testing team is unable to read your test cases then they won't be able to test it. Jasmine resolves this issue by providing developers with an extremely simple and "human-friendly" syntax.

•••
Behaviour Driven Development focused
If you prefer your test cases and application to be developed from the perspective of your stake holders, Jasmine is the framework for you.
