Is the After Effects object model available for testing outside of the Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit?
I am actually writing a script that I prefer to test in my browser using Javascript tools like Live Reload, Mocha.js and the Google Chrome inspector. Although, my browser legitimately returns me errors when I call the app obect methods. Would there be a .js or .jsx file I could include in order to test it from the Adobe Extend Script Toolkit? Or is it a secret file?

You will never get a specific AE, ExtendScript API to work on other ECMA hosts. You can see that even with the ExtendScript Toolkit, you (often, depending) need to specify the target application (toolkit, AE, Illustrator, etc.) due to differences between applications. Basic ECMA that you can test using the methods described; for ExtendScript specific code, you must use the appropriate application (AE / Toolkit, etc.).
