+## Detox
+
+**Extends Helper**
+
+This is a wrapper on top of [Detox][1] library, aimied to unify testing experience for CodeceptJS framework.
+Detox provides a grey box testing for mobile applications, playing especially good for React Native apps.
+
+Detox plays quite differently from Appium. To establish detox testing you need to build a mobile application in a special way to inject Detox code.
+This why **Detox is grey box testing** solution, so you need an access to application source code, and a way to build and execute it on emulator.
+
+Comparing to Appium, Detox runs faster and more stable but requires an additional setup for build.
+
+### Setup
+
+1.  [Install and configure Detox for iOS][2] and [Android][3]
+2.  [Build an application][4] using `detox build` command.
+3.  Install [CodeceptJS][5] and detox-helper: 
+
+
+    npm i @codeceptjs/detox-helper --save
+
+Detox configuration is required in `package.json` under `detox` section.
+
+If you completed step 1 and step 2 you should have a configuration similar this:
+
+```js
+ "detox": {
+   "configurations": {
+     "ios.sim.debug": {
+       "binaryPath": "ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/example.app",
+       "build": "xcodebuild -project ios/example.xcodeproj -scheme example -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator -derivedDataPath ios/build",
+       "type": "ios.simulator",
+       "name": "iPhone 7"
+     }
+   }
+ }
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Besides Detox configuration, CodeceptJS should also be configured to use Detox.
+
+In `codecept.conf.js` enable Detox helper:
+
+```js
+helpers: {
+   Detox: {
+     require: '@codeceptjs/detox-helper',
+     configuration: '<detox-configuration-name>', 
+   }   
+}
+```
+
+It's important to specify a package name under `require` section and current detox configuration taken from `package.json`.
+
+Options:
+
+-   `configuration` - a detox configuration name. Required.
+-   `reloadReactNative` - should be enabled for React Native applications.
+-   `reuse` - reuse application for tests. By default, Detox reinstalls and relaunches app.
+-   `registerGlobals` - (default: true) Register Detox helper functions `by`, `element`, `expect`, `waitFor` globally.
