+## Detects Multiple Calls to `done()`
+
+If you use callback-based async tests, Mocha will throw an error if `done()` is called multiple times. This is handy for catching accidental double callbacks.
+
+```javascript
+it('double done', function(done) {
+  // Calling `done()` twice is an error
+  setImmediate(done);
+  setImmediate(done);
+});
+```
+
+Running the above test will give you the below error message:
+
+```sh
+$ ./node_modules/.bin/mocha mocha.test.js
+
+
+  ✓ double done
+  1) double done
+
+  1 passing (6ms)
+  1 failing
+
+  1) double done:
+     Error: done() called multiple times

 ## Assertions
 
 Mocha allows you to use any assertion library you wish.  In the above example, we're using Node.js' built-in [assert](https://nodejs.org/api/assert.html) module--but generally, if it throws an `Error`, it will work! This means you can use libraries such as:
