Task	Description

npm run lint	Runs ESLint
npm run test	Cleans, lints, transpiles, and runs unit tests
npm run e2e-test	Tranpiles and runs functional tests
npm run watch	Automatically runs test command when code is changed

In addition, the main Appium package has a task npm generate-docs which generates the command documentation.
