We use Truffle in order to compile and test the contracts.
It can be installed:
npm install -g truffle
For more information visit https://truffle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Also running node with active json-rpc is required. For testing puproses we suggest using https://github.com/ethereumjs/testrpc
./run_testrpc.sh - run testrpc node with required params
truffle compile - compile all contracts
truffle test - run tests
