grunt dev Runs tsc, webpack and less. This will only produce the bare essentials for a development build and is a lot faster.

grunt test Runs all tests on PhantomJS.

grunt bedrock-manual Runs all tests manually in a browser.

grunt bedrock-auto:<browser> Runs all tests through selenium browsers supported are chrome, firefox, ie, MicrosoftEdge, chrome-headless and phantomjs.
