NPM Scripts using "&&"
One approach involves leveraging NPM scripts to create a single command that initiates both the server and tests simultaneously. By executing this command, webdriver will launch followed by the execution of your tests. You can manually stop the server using CTRL+C after the test completion in the console.
Consider Timing
Webdriver-Manager may require some time to initialize the server. If the initial script fails, consider utilizing the secondary script which includes a "sleep()" function to introduce a delay for the webdriver bootup process.

To streamline your workflow, consider creating gulp tasks. Start by installing gulp using npm and setting up a gulpfile.js.
If you need more details, check out my GitHub repository: github-repo-tyaga001
var gulp = require('gulp');
var gulpProtractor = require('gulp-angular-protractor');
var params = process.argv;
var args = process.argv.slice(3);
var paths = require('../paths.js');
// Run e2e Tests
gulp.task('e2e-test', function(callback) {
gulp.src(paths.tests)
.pipe((gulpProtractor({
configFile: 'protractor.conf.js',
args: args
})).on('error', function(e) {
console.log(e);
}).on('end', callback));
});
gulp.task('webdriver-update', gulpProtractor.webdriver_update);
gulp.task('webdriver-standalone', ['webdriver-update'], gulpProtractor.webdriver_standalone);
