Testing of automation scripts in the current version is very limited and not really supported. In the next release (MAS 8.8 on July 26), we drastically enhanced the testing capabilities to support most automation scripts events with the ability to define data (or retrieve a desired MBO) and have the script execute without committing the data unless you explicitly save in your script.
I believe this new functionality is also being added to 7.6.1.3 (end of August) if you are not ready to go to MAS yet.
