+You will need yarn installed on the machine.
+
+test.sh options
+
+ * eslint - lints the sources
+ * realmjs - runs all tests on quick simulated environment 
+ * react-tests - runs all React Native tests on iOS Simulator
+ * react-tests-android runs all React Native Android tests on Android emulator
+ * node - runs all tests for node
+ * node-nosync - runs all tests for node without sync support
+ * test-runners - checks supported tests runners are working correctly
+
+
+You can attach a debugger to react-native tests by passing "Debug" to the tests.sh script. A Chrome browser will open and connect to the react native application. Use the built-in Chrome Debugger to debug the code.
