****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** Based on the conversations, the preferred tool for unit testing SuiteScripts, other than the debugger, is Jest. Jest is a JavaScript testing framework that includes features like code coverage and mocking. It allows you to unit test any business logic you have in your SuiteScripts. In addition to Jest, using a linter like ESLint can also be beneficial. It can help catch common errors such as typos and mismatched braces. Another strategy mentioned is to use dependency injection by having a function construct another function with the required entry points. This makes it easier to mock the NetSuite API modules. Lastly, it's worth noting that NetSuite is reportedly working on a standard unit testing pipeline based on Jest, which will provide a standard and official configuration for unit testing SuiteScripts. This pipeline is expected to include features like code coverage, mocking, compatibility with AMD-ES6 import/export, the ability to provide SuiteScript API stubs/mocks to your script files, and integration with the deploy pipeline in the tooling.
