To Capture Results at a seperate file rather than console

var outputFile = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, 'results.json');

Ti.API.info(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory); // To get the App Data directory

outputFile.createFile();

mocha.setup({ 

    reporter: 'ti-json',    //the reporter to use with your tests

    outputFile: outputFile, // write results to the given Ti.Filesystem.File file

    quiet: false             // if true, suppress all console logging

});

To View the Results in console
