# Running Unit and Integration Tests

```bash
  $ # Start the required databases
  $ docker-compose up -d -V --remove-orphans --force-recreate
  $ # Run the tests
  $ yarn test
  $ yarn lint
```

Running the tests within a `node:8` container in host network mode is highly recommended.
This ensures a more repeatable environment while being able to reach the data stores running on the host machine.
