I have two javascript files which contain mocha test cases.

//----------abc.js -------------

describe(\"abc file\", function(){
  it(\"test 1\" , function(

If you prefer a particular order, you can list the files (in order) as command-line arguments to mocha, e.g.:

$ mocha test/test-file-1.js test/test-file-2.js

To avoid a lot of typing every time you want to run it, you could turn this into an npm script in your package.json:

{
  // ...
  "scripts": {
    "test": "mocha test/test-file-1.js test/test-file-2.js"
  }
  // ...
}

Then run your suite from the command line:

$ npm test

Or if you're using Gulp, you could create a task in your gulpfile.js:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var mocha = require("gulp-mocha");

gulp.task("test", function() {
  return gulp.src([
      "./test/test-file-1.js",
      "./test/test-file-2.js"
    ])
    .pipe(mocha());
});

Then run $ gulp test.
