# QA Core API Tests

The QA Core API tests are a jest suite that run directly against the budibase backend APIs.

## Auto Setup
You can run the whole test suite with one command, that spins up the budibase server and runs the jest tests:

`yarn api:test` 

## Setup Server Only
You can also just stand up the budibase server alone.

`yarn api:server:setup` 

## Run Tests
If you configured the server using the previous command, you can run the whole test suite by using:

`yarn test` 

for watch mode, where the tests will run on every change:

`yarn test:watch`
