 These tests compile real firmware via the backend API and run the full
 simulation through a WebSocket, verifying sensor readings in the serial output.
 
-## Prerequisites
+## CI status
 
-- Backend running on `http://localhost:8001`
+These tests **run in GitHub Actions** via `.github/workflows/backend-e2e-tests.yml`.
-- Node.js 18+
 
-## Run
+The CI workflow:
+
+1. Downloads `libqemu-xtensa-amd64.so` and `libqemu-riscv32-amd64.so` from the
+   [qemu-prebuilt](https://github.com/davidmonterocrespo24/velxio/releases/tag/qemu-prebuilt) release.
+2. Downloads ROM files: `esp32-v3-rom.bin`, `esp32-v3-rom-app.bin`, `esp32c3-rom.bin`.
+3. Installs arduino-cli + `esp32:esp32` core.
+4. Starts `uvicorn app.main:app --port 8001` with `QEMU_ESP32_LIB` and `QEMU_RISCV32_LIB` set.
+5. Runs all three JS tests.
+
+## Local prerequisites
+
+1. Backend running with QEMU libs in PATH:
+   ```bash
+   cd backend
+   QEMU_ESP32_LIB=/path/to/libqemu-xtensa.so \
+   QEMU_RISCV32_LIB=/path/to/libqemu-riscv32.so \
+   uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8001
+   ```
+   On Windows the `.dll` files live in `backend/app/services/`.
+
+2. Node.js 18+ installed.
+
+## Run all e2e tests
+
+Use the convenience script from the repo root:
 
 ```bash
-# From repo root
+# Windows
-node test/backend/e2e/test_dht22_simulation.mjs   [--timeout=45]
+scripts\run-e2e-tests.bat
-node test/backend/e2e/test_hcsr04_simulation.mjs  [--timeout=60]
-node test/backend/e2e/test_mpu6050_simulation.mjs [--timeout=40]
 
-# Custom backend URL
+# Or individually (from repo root):
-node test/backend/e2e/test_dht22_simulation.mjs --backend=http://localhost:8001
+node test/backend/e2e/test_dht22_simulation.mjs   --timeout=60
+node test/backend/e2e/test_hcsr04_simulation.mjs  --timeout=75
+node test/backend/e2e/test_mpu6050_simulation.mjs --timeout=60
 ```

+## Pass criteria
+
