Run a google standalone apps script for UI from the Script Editor

I have a standalone Google Apps Script to implement a UI, with a doGet function.

I can deploy it, and access by a URL, and it works.

I can't see how/if I can test from the Script Editor. I can hit Run in the Editor, it executes the doGet script, but all that does is return an app object.

The closest thing you can do at present is to click.

publish (in the top menu) > Depoly as web app > Below the 'Current web app URL' you can select 'Test webapp for your latest code'.

This will open a browser tab with the current webapp while still not having to save a revision and publish.

The other option is the develop your UI in the context of a spreadsheet and call 

SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

But this has its obvious disadvantages.
