It is possible to run your application locally on your development machine, or another machine close to your development machine (e.g. a virtual machine (VM)). This will remove the need to transfer your application over the Internet each time you want to test. In order to do this, you just need to install NodeJS from the website or the package manager, and then you can run your application on your machine.

In addition, if your testing involves the repeated completion of certain steps after changes are made, then you might be interested in a testing framework such as Mocha, which will allow you to automate the testing process using more Javascript.
