is there a location to test code/scripts

[humblecommitted]

hello community,

i had a quick question about testing scripts and codes,

is there a location within servicenow that we can input scripts and code to test its functionality i.e. lets say you have a script that you want to test in a workflow,   instead of running the item that triggers the work flow, just copy and paste the code to a test bed that will run the code to see if will get servicenow to do what you wanted the code to do i.e. creating an SR or run other workflows, notifications, etc.

Hi,

You can test it in background scripts. Background Scripts — ServiceNow Elite

You need to be an administrator and have elevated privileges for security admin enabled.
