A good approach is to redirect all of the usual output like in a following examples. It will allow you to test JavaScript designed for web without needing to rewrite.

test.js

var console = {
    info: function (s){
        WSH.Echo(s);
    }
}
var document = {
    write : function (s){
        WSH.Echo(s);
    }
}
var alert = function (s){
    WSH.Echo(s);
}

console.info("test");
document.write("test2");
alert("test3");

You can call the script like this:

Cscript.exe test.js firstParam secondParam

which will give you:

test
test1
test2
