gulp-core-build-karma is a gulp-core-build subtask for running unit tests using karma/phantomjs/mocha/chai. This setup allows you to run browser based testing.

gulp-core-build-mocha is a gulp-core-build subtask for running unit tests using mocha/chai. This setup is useful for unit testing build tools, as it runs in the node process rather than in a browser.
