What is it that you are trying to do? Are you trying to send out mass customized email Notifications. If so, there are a variety of solution which are less draconian than switching platforms.
I typically describe three levels of solutions to send out Automated daily email Notifications.
1. Create a report or emails needing to be sent today and a URL formula button to click which will update the record, triggering the email and refreshing the report with one less record. So click each day until they are all gone.
2. Contact me and I will set you up with one button to click to fire all the emails. So a user subscribes to a report with this button and they click the button once a day (if there are records to send).
3. Work with a add on from Juiced at a fairly minimal monthly cost "per app" (not "per user") to fully Automate the process. Keep in mind that the cost for a single Sales Force seat is probably at least double a Quick Base seat cost, so paying a one time fee to a developer like me to put in a script or paying Juiced ~$40 per month is not unreasonable compared to the Sales Force cost.

It's a pity that Quick Base is stuck in 2010. The interface is holding us back from accomplishing so many things. Paying more for a custom SalesForce platform has become a more and more attractive option each day Quick Base tells me that we cannot do something simple like this. It's a shame.

As for testing, the reminders are sent to the user(s) in a User field or a List User field. So to test, you just need to have a test record and put your userid in that field, and then click on "Send Test email
