How to test a piece of javascript quickly? 

Do you have to test it in client ui policy or business rule? fix script? which is quick and convenient? for example, to query GlideRecord?

Javascript Executor is only for client-side code, and you shouldn't use GlideRecord in client-side code.

If you are just trying to test the js executor, try this simple line

alert("Hello from the Javascript Executor");

 

To learn more about scripting, I highly recommend this
